I agree with what greenlydia has written, but to add that the FDA also would need to be contacted with regard to your problem.

In the year you had your op 75,000 of women had that operation.  This is reported in the Medical News dated 14 May 2013. The report goes on to say:

"However, recent studies show that at least 10% of women implanted with these Trans Vaginal Mesh products develop severe problems within the first year after the surgery. Side effects can include urinary problems, vaginal bleeding and discharge, and pain during sexual intercourse. The FDA is believed to be investigating Trans Vaginal Mesh products."

You would also be able to take out a law suit.

Has the doctor not recommended any pain relief?  I know this will not cure the problem, but would hopefully lessen the pain that you are feeling.

Hope you get sorted out soon,

Best wishes.

The first thing I would do is contact the surgeon who did your procedure and request the name of the product which was used. There have been some recalls lately and you may be eligible for a class action suit.

You also need to request copies of ALL medical records AND pictures from each and every doctor you've seen since these problems began.  

For the trouble you are having now, I would search out the very best GYNO specialist you can find and have him/her go over all your records and tests. I can't help thinking that something is being missed.

I hope you find an answer soon. Let us know how you're doing, OK?
Peace
