Gosh honey that sounds awful, so sorry to hear it...I didn't have serious damage but was left with a cystocele, or minor bladder prolapse...it just means it was stretched a bit, but the Dr. didn't seem to think it warranted any attention really. That was 4 years ago and I've not really noticed much of a problem with it, though am afraid this time might exacerbate it...

Sorry not to be more help but my Dr. did say there was a simple operation that could be done if it was troublesome. I hope you manage to get something done, sounds really uncomfortable for you

Something similar happened to me when I had DD last year, and yes, I did get my bladder back. It took a few weeks but my bladder recovered fully. I hope things resolve for you soon.
Here's the link to my own situation (sorry, it's a bit long but I was hormonal and scared)
