Paula,

I don't have any experience with surgery but DO have minor, prolapsed rectocele and cystocele along with lumbar/sacral problems and and a fractured coccyx (never knew I had it). Anyway, what helped was pelvic floor PT. Ask your Gyn about it. It helped me considerably with all kinds of pain and spasms! I was and am still completely amazed at how much it helped. You wouldn't believe the how all those muscles connect and some of it was caused by nerve damage from the lumbar/sacral area.

BUT...it might be way too early just yet. I want to ask too...is there a puncture wound of sorts near your tailbone area? My mom had this surgery done to fix a cystocele and couldn't sit down for quite a long time. Evidently, they had to go in from the backside to do some "attaching". But I would say in a couple of months she was much better.

Oops, should have added that I had a hysterectomy back in 2000. So, these things happen...repair work I mean.

Anyway, I asked my Urogynecologist if, because of the rectocele, the BM sort of gets stuck in that pocket (You know what I am speaking of and sorry for being so graphic) if that would put pressure on the coccyx. He said yes. So, the only thing I could do before I went into PT was to make sure I took in plenty of fluids and used a stool softener when needed. And, really, since PT I haven't had near the issues I was having. But I would think your gyn is right...the area is still just probably weak and tender. But seriously, check into the Pelvic Floor PT when you get a chance. And by the way, it takes a specialist to do this; they are few and far between but it worked for me. Hang in there and I hope this all gets better!
