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.
