Just wondering if this is "normal" - I had a rather horrible forceps delivery for DS Feb '08. It basically shredded my bits - 3rd degree tear, nasty long recovery, pain every time I sat down, blah blah blah (I've posted about this before so won't belabour -ha ha- the point)... Had a repair op this Feb (09) - they resected the very awful scar inside my vagina, repaired the (previously unrepaired ) tear in one of the pelvic floor muscles, and generally put Humpty back together. Am now around 15 weeks post-op and my vagina and perineum feel good again - not like they did before but who could expect that - but... my insides (in my belly) often feel "funny". The best way I can describe it is that it feels like someone stuck a spoon through my belly button and stirred things around a bit. Believe me, I know how strange that sounds. But when I run, I feel like my intestines are jiggling around loosely inside me - and it's not belly fat joggling, either as I don't have much of that - and, I occasionally find that when I'm in the shower and washing my bits or scrubbing my behind with a loofah (which makes it jiggle, of course) that I get a pain or an ache deep inside my belly. (TMI Alert) It also frequently feels strange and a bit achy just before I do a poo, like the poo has to sort of work its way through a bit of a maze in there... I know, curiouser and curiouser...
Has anyone had anything similar?
I will be having another follow-up with my surgeon next Monday and will tell her this... and if she has nothing useful to say I will go see my GP and ask to be referred for... what? Not sure yet... so I'm not planning on just leaving this unmentioned, but I was just wondering if this is to be expected, if it will ever go away, or if I need to live with it.
