I use a pessary for uterine, bladder and rectocele. I always dread taking it out. I can grab it okay, but I can't twist and fold it on the way out, and as said above in a comment, "it is like birthing a Frisbee!" It keeps hitting on something near the urethra. It really hurts!
I started PT as well. I'm learning some really important things like I have no glute muscles, don't turn my left hip back when I walk, and I am breathing all wrong. Even getting in and out of bed I am relearning.
I dreaded putting my pessary back in, as I would eventually have to take it back out! I could really identify what muscles the PT was working on. It all started to go south in two weeks and I couldn't hold things up by myself. Back in with the pessary. .....
The thing I just don't get is why this, which seems like a hernia to me, is not recognized as being a work comp issue?
I have to lift often, and occasionally up to 70lbs.
I got two inguinal hernias from boxes, and no question that they were repaired due to lifting.
When my manageable cystocele became a uterine prolapse upon lifting a 65 pound box, all of the sudden it could not be from work, in the doctor's opinions. It was from having babies! Why if the men at work, lifting the same box had hernias that were covered, but my prolapse, which became unmanageable , is not?
