    This is major surgery!  You need to give your body sufficient time to heal.  I was told 6-8 weeks.  Please go back to your doctor to make sure you're okay. xx

    I am not a medical professional but I am taking a guess that you have a stitched abcess and need antibiotics.

    I am 2 weeks pvh for uterine and bladder prolapse with anterior and posterior repairs. My recovery has been brutal. Yesterday I was perscribed Augmentin for a stitched abcess that the Dr says is the caise for all of this pain.

    What medications are you taking?

    You will be in my prayers.
