Dropped Bladder, Postherpetic Neuralgia In Thigh Due To Shingles, Lower Back Ache. Reason?

My gynecologist mentioned at my last visit I had a dropped bladder and that I should not do any lifting. My only symptoms appear to be slow urination, no pain, I am a 73 year old female, had 3 natural childbirths and do osteo exercises for osteopenia . What weight should be my weight lifiting limit be? Also...I am bothered by postherpetic neurolgia in upper left thigh from shingles over 2 years ago. Lower back ache has tended to increase. I have assumed that is partially from some arthritis and effects of the neurolgia. Would a dropped bladder also be causing some of that discomfort? My last visit with OB-byn was in July 2013 Thank you. Lois
