I am a newbie here and want to post a question. Has anyone ever had a large rectocele that caused sciatic pain along with the usual other problems associated with this type of prolapse? I am being treated for sciatica, and nothing is working. I've only told one doctor that I also have a rectocele that causes me pressure as well as evacuation issues, and that my painful sciatica started around the same time as my rectocele appeared a few years ago. I'm making an appointment with a urogynocoligical doctor to have the rectocele repaired, and am hoping that the sciatic type pain will lessen or go away after the repair heals.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi stephanooch .... welcome to NeuroTalk.

I'm sorry that you're suffering from that awful pain, and although my sciatica is caused by something different, I do understand how you must be feeling.

I wondered if you might get more answers if your question was posted in our Women's Health Forum, so I copied it over there for you. Here's a direct link to the thread, so you can check if you get any replies.
