Hi ggm43....I wish you the best of luck and health thru this time...I had prolapse repair surgery done 2 yrs. ago I am glad I had it I no longer feel as if my insides are going to fall out with each step I take however please ask your dr. about nerve damage or interruption with this surgery (mine was bladder and uteral lift done with stiches no mesh) and was left with pundeal nerve interruption...the hardest part was finding a dr. who understood this was a nerve issue I did go to a uro gyn for the surgery and 8 visits after the surgery he still didn't know what was wrong with me....he kept saying it was interstichal cycstis (sorry about the spelling) and it was not I went to another uro gyn out of my state and was correctly diogonest I would recommend the surgery just ask the right question good luck and I will be praying for you

@pizon Sorry you had this nerve issue after your surgery. My doctor actually mentioned this to me and gave me a handout on it. He said that pundenal nerve interruption is a rare but often painful complication from various surgeries in both men and women. He said he has only seen it one time in a surgery while in medical school. He has never had it happen in one of his surgeries but felt like he should tell me all the possibilities however remote. I have nerve pain in my legs and I can only imagine how painful this must have been and I know how frustrating it is not to get the right diagnosis.

I had some initial nerve issues right after my bladder prolapse surgery but they went away within a couple of weeks. This is quite common. Mine was not painful at all. In fact, quite the opposite. For me it was just a bit of lack of feeling or feedback in the sphincter area when using the bathroom. But it went away quickly. You are the first person to mention pundenal nerve interruption issues here. Did you manage to get it taken care of or treated with the out of state doc that you mentioned? And what was the treatment?
