Rectocele and cystocele repair surgery
Posted , 3 users are following.
I had rectocele and cystocele repair surgery a week ago. i began having severe sharp shooting pain on the back end where the rectocele was 5 days after surgery. my surgeon told me that there was a lot of reconstruction done because apparently my rectocele was pretty bad. I hear buttock pain is normal, how normal? I don't have a fever so I am hopeful it is not an infection. Can someone tell me if this is expected?

Hi. still v early days for you. I had same op and was v uncomfy for at least 2 weeks. Had to resort to painkillers. Good luck with your recovery. It WILL feel better soon.

hi, i had the same operation a few years ago. i had exactly same pain as you are mentioning. sorry to say i had that severe pain for a few months. you are still very early in recovery, you really need to relax and take things very slowly.x

Thank you! I feel as if I am being repeatedly stabbed on that specific area and I was worried it might not be normal since I did not feel it the first few days.
