I had a vaginal hysterectomy December 17, with groin incisions to insert a bladder sling. I noticed one of these incisions was swollen and lumpy but no one checked it, I was sent home and it turned into a large pus filled infection by christmas. I didn t go to my GP until January 2nd and was then put on antibiotics. A swab was cultured, it found anearobic infection so then they added flagyl to my meds. I ve since taken 2 doses each of antibiotics and flagyl and its now January 21. I have felt very weak, ill and in pain so was unable to walk much. Have mostly had to lie around with only short walks around the house. WHEN can I start doing things? Can I do any bending to garden? Is squatting still a no no? AND a physio at the hospital on day 2 told me I should start extensive kegals. As I had anterior and posterior mesh repair in there this did not seem wise so I did not do it. What do you think are my best steps for recovery? This infection has really set me back.
