11 mos post takedown and still having issues...

Sun, November 27, 2011 4:05 PM

Hi, it has been 11 months almost since my takedown and I am still having, in my thoughts, rough symptoms I find it hard to tolerate. I have frequent leakage issues, usually minor, but to the point where I still wear 2 underwear at a time to avoid possible issues. This is after using diapers under my underwear for 6 months. The real problem starts when i am active, almost in any fashion. running errands, especially working out, or recently a trip the amusement park. The leakage can be so bad it goes through 2 pairs of underwear and my pants as well. This in turn causes chaffage and pain, which starts a cycle until I have to down pain meds for a day or so. Since my takedown, I take lomotil and codeine 4x a day and as well as fiber supplement. Also, I find I cannot urinate unless my pouch is fully emptied. I have a feeling this may be due to a difficult surgery (small pelvis), and am going to try to consult another surgeon, but wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms at this point in their recovery.

Maybe it can happen after the surgery because it is natural. If you have not seen people with scars after surgery then locked my keys inside my car you are making a wrong debate so must visit the given blog to check out the scar tissue issue with food.
