I had a hysterectomy one year ago at age 50. Recovery was a breeze. I used one pain pill. I prolapsed about six months after that with a cystocele The doctor said prolapse surgery was a piece of cake compared to hysterectomy . She wasnt going to prescribe any pain meds.

This recovery has been 10 times more difficult. I used all my pain pills. 3 1/2 weeks later I still can’t sit normally in a chair or walk for any length of time The doctor was surprised and had no explanation. She said there was no infection so there was nothing to do at this time. I'm frustrated and a little scared. Is my experience abnormal?
