Hi mums. First thread from me...
I'm struggling with historic birth injuries. After 9 years, my episiotomy is painful again. No idea why. As well as that, since the birth of my second child 4 years ago, I've had the weird sensation of an air bubble in there. It's not 'wind' just a small thing that goes away with a bit of adjustment. It gets me down tho. I have to adjust at least 20 times a day. Final thing is a labial tear from that same birth. It was stitched by midwife at the time, but came away almost immediately, and now, I have one 'forked' labia, if that makes sense. All a bit of a nuisance, and taking a toll on the mental health.
A private physio said 'I've never seen a presentation like that' and offered not much in the way of help - which made me feel like an anomaly and now I'm nervous about seeing another physio.
Does anyone have experience of any of this stuff getting better? I do pelvic floor exercises but probably not seriously enough.
