A year ago I started getting lower back pain, pelvic pain in right side and a dragging feeling as if my insides were falling out. I knew I had a bladder prolapse for years and was told I needed a bladder repair and hysterectomy due to prolapse. I had my op 6 months ago but still have the same symptoms. My gp is at a loss but has referred me for a ct scan on my bladder. Surely I should be over my operation now? Or am I doing too much. When I went back to gyni 12 weeks post up he said I was fully recovered and the pain must be due to something else. Has anyone else gone through this?

Back pain, pelvic pain and heavy dragging feeling after hysterectomy and bladder repair.
Have you considered looking into seeing a specialist women’s pelvic health physio. I’ve just started seeing one as I have a number of chronic pelvic pain conditions and I am hopeful they may be able to help as my pelvic floor muscles are so tight and it could be making everything worse xx
Hi Catness, thanks for your reply. I have been referred to a physio twice in six months. The first time I saw a young lad who did not help at all. I am now seeing a lady who is sure it's my pelvic floor muscles. I have been doing various exercises for three weeks now and I am feeling a little bit better so I am hoping this will work. I am also seeing a bladder specialist in July. The only time I have been totally free of pain in the past year was when I was using oestrogen pessaries for 4 weeks prior to my operation but this may be a coincidence. Good luck with your recovery.
