Hi alicia, I'm new to the board also. I have found this message board to be very helpful. All the information I have learn as been so helpful and reinsuring that I'm not the only one with this problem. I"m having trouble for the 1st time in my life with weight gain and it because I'm unable to be as active as before. My gyn at my 6 week follow up told me I had no problems and he didn't need to see me any more. I went crying to my family doctor who also specalists in internal medicine. I would recommend finding a caring family doctor who will listen. I been going into my doctor with information I'm learning and he will listen. He is helping me find a doctor who will do and lap. and use a barrier. My doctor put me on several anti-depressant mediciation to help desense the pain. I hope you the best. Don't give up.
