Cervical and back prolapsy
by joliceour1957, Jun 13, 2008 11:34AM
To whom it may concern: Two years ago, I had a net put in for my bladder. I have multiple adhessions, and am also suppose to get cervical prolapsy surgery. The only exersize I can do is swimming. It does not help my prolapsy, but does not irratate it either. Please note I am also on Thyroid and blood pressure pills, from exessive weight gain. I like to be active, but after paying a personal trainer and body building for over a year I continued to maintain an obese wieght, it was then found I was producing to much cortesone in my body? I have been slowly loosing wieght since swimming an hour three times a week, any more than this and my pain is intolerable, and my doctor has yet to find a pain pill I can take as my liver developed hep B years ago from medication. It still reacts when on certain medication, such as pain pills. I use to drink maybe twice a year, now maybe wine twice a year is all I can barely tolerate.
I have had three seperate operations over the past 12 years for cysts alone, one the size of a cantalope, which was attached to my bowels, bladder and had filled my cervix area. I feel a lot of the prolapsy is from and unseen cyst. I have light brown liquidy discharge from my vaginal area, which usually is worse when the pain gets worse, which is when I get feeling to good and try to much, then it is almost like the cyst breaks, and I have absolutely no back pain, or lower pain, other than minimal discomfort. Theese pains seemed to have increase after a cycst was removed ,during a scope, from between my pelvice and leg joint. The urinologist seemed to reduce the pain, when he went in either side of my groin to put in the bladder net? If I walk for more than 10 minutes at a time, my blood pressure increases, and I have anal bleeding and the light brown discharge. I had a hystorechtomy at 24, I am 50 years old now. This is very depressing...
Could there be another cyst formed where the other one was, I know that people, even without ovaries, can still get ovarian cancer in the cavity where the ovaries once were. Seems to be my case. When the cycst seems to get bigger again, more pain, more discomfort, lack of sleep, hard to walk with my left leg properly, and my back goes out constantly for little things. When I feel the cyst burst or seeps, I feel better for about two weeks, with discharge, but little pain, then it starts com'g back slowly. (the pain). I have oesteoarthritis in my lower back and degenarative disk in three lower disks, but most of the pain is not my back it is my left groin and I have been telling my doctor.
My OBGYN wanted me to wait another year to have the surgery as she says they only last 10 years? but I can not handle the lack of activity, and the pain is becomming phenomanal when I start back. She says she will remove all of my adhesions, why has no one done an MRI to see what the heck is happening, especially since I have a history of cysts? I have a good education and can not work, sitting to long is to painful, and cripples me, standing to long hurts my back and prolapsy. Is there ANY WAY I can help myself. Would a Tummy tuck help repair my muscles, I was told are not very good. Can the OBGYN do that when she does the other surgery? Even the current prothetic I have is being pushed out, but it does help so even though it is painful, I leave it in until the surgery?
Is there something else I should be looking at that is know to affect the spine, bladder, bowels, and cervical cavity like this. I was told it was because of the hystirechtomy. My husband has been very supportive, but the anxiety the guilt is causing alone for my lack of activity is dehabilatating.
As a child I had a virus that caused me to have 24 carbuncles on each leg. I was in a wheelchair for a few months, something to do with poisening the blood. Could all theese cyst be an internal reaction to the virus still being in my system? I have lived a very eventful life, I just want to enjoy the rest of it. Is there any other surgery out there that can fix the adhessions and prolapsy without haveing to put another foreign object in my body? I have tried keggle, body building only made it worse for the damaged muscles. PLEASE any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
