Surgery and feeling like myself
Hi 👋
I'm 28, no pregnancies, HSD, and I developed cystocele and a rectocele.
I had surgery a couple months ago with a beyond traumatizing surgeon. To make matters worse, despite asking multiple questions and times about my surgery, I was never informed I would have perineum stitches.
Anyways, I've been cleared for activities and started pelvic pt up and I'm really having a hard time feeling like myself. I just feel so sad for my body and what it has been put through (and how enduringly horrible the recovery has been) and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips? My perineum also still hurts, but looked good to surgeon and pt
It didn't help that pelvic pt was very surprised I had stitches there.
I'm trying to get a therapist, but that's been a challenge due to multiple chronic illnesses.
I'm going to talk to pelvic pt about this too (I've seen her before over the past couple years)
Thanks :)
