Morning my friends...I was DX with PROLAPSE RECTUM last week!!!!! Pain, pain....hurts to sit, stand, go to bathroom...😥😥. Doctor said my Spine has Collapsed, putting pressure on colon!! Surgery is only option, which at 72lbs, I don't feel strong enough for that..SO, guess I'll deal with MORE PAIN, along with back, hip, & Osteoporosis!!!....
Hope everyone is doing ok...

Members rallied around someone newly diagnosed with rectal prolapse, offering heartfelt prayers, emotional support, and solidarity for the immense pain they were experiencing from sitting, standing, and daily activities. Several members shared practical suggestions that provided relief, including using a doughnut ring cushion, which the original poster purchased and found helpful, along with mentions of foam pads and reduction techniques that had worked for others. A recurring theme was concern over the challenges of surgery at a low body weight, balanced with gentle encouragement to consult with surgeons and explore all options, while acknowledging the bravery it takes to face such a difficult and isolating condition.

Oh, that is so painful! Were they able to reduce at all? My husband had that and was miserable. They were finally able to reduce it and the pain went away, thank heavens. They told him they might have to tack the colon in place but that it is a minor surgery and he would go home that day. It sounds like your's is much more extensive than his was. I hope things start to look up for you.
