Well as the title suggests I am now 5 months post op. I could not have imagined how much hard work it has taken to get here, the ups and downs, the lows and highs - literally, and the feeling of pride when I see how far I have come.
I have suffered with spd or pgp for five years. I have put on weight which was incredibly depressing. I had to give up my beloved tae kwon do which not only meant losing my fitness but I lost many friends through this too as we no longer had things in common and to be honest I think I scared of them. I struggled to keep up with my daughter who seemed to grow in leaps and bounds in the blink of an eye and my relationship with my husband has certainly been tested.
Today I can see a future though. I have lost 3 stone since the surgery and am so close to my pre pregnancy weight I am delighted. I know longer have the dull ache in my back and hip that radiates from the pubic bone and I can sleep pretty much through the night without having to wake for pain killers. None of these things I would have been able to do without the operation.
I am still in some pain - and worryingly some of it is a new pain. It runs from the inside of my groin round to my left buttock and down the left thigh bone. I have no idea what it is and my physio and hydro therapists are hoping its just due to increased exercise. The plan is to see if it subsides in time. I am back seeing my wonderful surgeon on the 3rd November and I can't wait for him to put my mind at rest on the latest pain. Whatever it is though I am sure I am better off now than I was.
