Hi all,
I was referred to the bowel & bladder clinic due to issues with chronic constipation, lower back pain and groin pain. Had a colonoscopy which was thankfully all good. The nurse diagnosed me with a prolapse, and said I was too far gone to benefit from physio. They have referred me to Gynae but the waiting list is approx 2 years long. My symptoms are getting worse, by the end of the day the prolapse has dropped so much it’s rubbing on my underwear, I’ve got abdominal pain and dragging, pain in my groin, awful lower back ache and the feeling like you get when a tampax is sitting uncomfortably. My question is, has anyone managed to deal with these symptoms independently whilst waiting for help from the professionals? I’m taking pain killers everyday and only comfortable when sitting on a heat pad - it’s miserable! X
