I want to rub the area with mineral oil mixed with a moisturizer but my hands cannot do it long enough. My hubby has no choice but to do it for me.
What kind of surgical procedure you did for your bladder, if you don't mind. I thought that bladder cannot be operated on.

I had Cystocele surgery. My bladder prolapsed where it was visable. Mostly due to forcing because of my strong narcotic pain meds causing terrible constipation. I do take Miralax daily; but still have issues.
When i had the Cystocele surgery, the urologist did not take the necessary precautions and the small bowel came down causing me to have Rectocele surgery the following year. When I had the Rectocele surgery performed, I made sure this time I went to a urogynocologist. I wish I had had the urogyny for the Cystocele surgery.
I should have mentioned the venous blood insufficiency seems to pool in the ankles thereby causing heart concern. I did have a specialist look into the venous pooling in the ankles. Tests all showed this had nothing to do with my heart. Sitting for long periods can be a problem. When possible, elevating feet is very beneficial.
I, myself, would not want to rub into ankle/feet areas. I gently put the lotion on without a lot of pressure. Also, if I rubbed; this might aggravate the condition; but would cause my PN to burn even more.
