Hi
Recovery has been very slow since my surgery in September and I'm experiencing a lot of pain mostly pelvic and lower back and internally.
Initially thought that the slow healing is due to the infection i caught in October but a physical exam and tvs in March showed vaginal granulation (nodular)
I've been waiting for an appointment since to remove it and though I'm aware it can be common to have there's a part of me worried about reoccurance. Could it even occur so quickly? Unsure what the recovery is like and just generally struggling with it all(ptsd diagnosis post diagnosis)
Hi
I am sorry to hear that you have been experiencing pain since your surgery.
It is natural to worry about recurrence, especially when something is seen that you are not expecting- but you have done the right thing in getting it all checked out.
Although a recurrence can happen at anytime it does seem that your consultant is not pushing through the appointment more urgently to have it treated. If they felt that there was something more concerning happening then would it not be more likely that they would be doing things more urgently and talking about biopsies etc. It sounds like you have had some slower healing due to having an infection and this may be a factor.
Perhaps give your CNS a call and ask if there is any update on an appointment and say that you are worried about it being more than just granular tissue and hopefully they may be able to give you some reassurance.
If you prefer perhaps give the Support Line a call and have a chat with one of the nurses.
Fingers crossed that you can be seen and treated quickly.

It is natural to worry, hopefully it will be done soon. GA can sometimes delay things a bit. it sounds like they are being thorough- which is a good thing.
