How long were you swollen after Rectocele surgery?
It’s been 4 weeks since my Rectocele repair. The doctor used my own tissue to repair grade 4 prolapse. During the first week, I had two infections and was in awful pain. I took antibiotics (2 kinds) and felt better. The doctor said everything was healing nicely at two weeks. I had two great days with no need for pain medication at three weeks. The doctor sId I could walk as far as I like, but no lifting or other exercise. I took a 30 minute walk two days ago and also drove to the store. I didn’t carry anything. No lifting over 5 lbs. I do have to get up and down stairs. I now have a burning and swelling, vaginally. No fever. No blood or discharge. Is this normal at 4 weeks? I’m worried.
