Normal or not? Worrying for nothing?
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi all,
I'm just over 5 weeks post op for a&p repair using the mesh and perenium repair. I'm still not walking right most of the time without it pulling/ dragging and it's still really sore in/on my Perenium. I feel like I'm walking like an 80 year old with a back problem! I'm trying to rest as much as possible, not lift anything heavy and do everything advised for recovery.
Am I worrying about nothing?
It's really getting me down especially with a young family to look after. I never realised that I'd still be like this over 5 weeks after the op.
I'm really looking for advise from anyone else who's had the same op about how they felt at this stage? I know everyone's different and people heal differently etc but just reassurance really as I'm sure my husband is sick of me talking about it to him lol

Yes, it's a constant concern of mine that the op hasn't worked I didn't look into anything really before the op as I just thought I'm young, fit, healthy... I'll breeze through it... Big mistake eh!
If I was in your position id prob phone the hospital and try and get your post op appointment brought forward? In the first week, I got a uti and I phoned the ward I'd been on and they were lovely and advised me what I needed etc.
I really feel for you as I too would be frantic. As it's not all the time that you feel like it's prolapsed again, could it just be still knitting together?
Keep in touch and hope you get sorted xx

just saying hope you ladies are all okay and slowly getting there. I feel much better since yesterday and think maybe I'm turning a corner, 6 weeks post op tomorrow. Still no energy but no pains which is a start . I certainly wouldn't be up to work for a while, not that I have any LOL except some helping out..
Let's hope it has worked for all of us, it really doesn't bear thinking about otherwise. Take care and to report back. I see the consultant next week so that will be interesting .
