resolved 2.Cystocele, midline, asymptomatic, mostly periurethral 3.Enterocele - resolved 4.Rectocele - resolved 5.Chronic abdominal pain - with a history of multiple laparotomies and bowel resections for sbo (small bowel obstruction), known severe adhesive disease 6.Urgency of urination - resolved off vesicare 7.Urge incontinence - resolved off vesicare 8.Nocturia - resolved off vesicare 9.Levator muscle weakness - mild 10.Atrophic vaginitis - mild 11.Detrusor overactivity 12.Decreased bladder capacity, normal compliance up to 250cc, no prolapse, reduced usi 13.Incomplete bladder emptying postoperatively with pvr 210 cc - asymptomatic 14.Granulation tissue, treated with silver nitrate 15.Vaginal shooting pain, may be due to mesh insertion at ssl based on the exam, or granulation tissue as she had pain with palpation of this site and described discharge immediately after the pain.Plans noted included: 1.The physician had a discussion with the patient regarding possible neuropathic origin of her pain if the mesh insertion point entrapped a nerve and the possibility of using lyrica to help with neuropathic pain.The patient also has history of fibromyalgia and this may help with her fibromyalgia pain.The patient was explained the possible side effects of the medication including sedation, and suicidality and counseled to stop the medication if either if the sedation becomes bothersome or she develops suicidality.A patient handout regarding drug information on lyrica was also given.Lyrica 100mg three times a day was started.2.Patient to follow-up in 3-4 weeks on her pain symptoms.Possible options were discussed if the pain does not resolve including cutting the mesh arms, though her prolapse may recur.Anesthetic and steroids injection to the sacrospinous ligament could also be considered.3.The patient was to continue antibiotic suppression if urinary retention persisted.If not worsening, the patient will be evaluated further if symptomatic and bothersome.On (b)(6) 2009, the patient reported that she self-discontinued lyrica as it made her excessively sleepy for two days after the first dose.She had no additional complaints at that time and felt well in general.No more incidence of uti since she had been on macrobid.Lightheadedness, burning sensation, vaginal pain and focal pruritis resolved.Plans at that time included: 1.High pvr continue on prophylactic macrobid for suppression of uti.Refill for macrobid given.2.Vaginal pain resolved.3.Return to clinic in 1 year for follow up visit.On (b)(6) 2012, the patient complained of urinary frequency, urgency and minor leaking uui (urge urinary incontinence) for a month.She had mild dysuria at that time.She suspected that she had a uti and would like to be tested.On exam, some mild recurrent prolapse was noted that was asymptomatic.Plans noted during the visit: 1, urine culture sent, to contact patient with the results.2.Patient to continue routine flu with pcp and cardiologist tor health care maintenance.3, reassured patient regarding normal pelvic exam with good vaginal support and normal bladder emptying.4.Can consider restarting vesicare if urine culture returns negative.On (b)(6), 2012, the patient reported the following: sharp pain that is worse when walking or moving and is better when lying down; pain that lasts for seconds and hurts so bad that it makes her stop walking; heaviness in lower stomach; still having urgency, frequency, nocturia and uui refractory vesicare 5mg; worse symptoms; and fecal incontinence.On physical exam, the patient had tenderness to palpation over the proximal ant wall near mesh arms that insert into la near ischial spines and apically on each lateral fornix that reproduces the pain she feels vaginally and on her left side.Assessments at that time included incomplete bladder emptying postoperatively - asymptomatic, elevated pvr; and pelvic pain radiating to the left leg when walking.The pain seemed to localize the mesh.The patient had postoperative pain that resolved.No change in the position of the mesh on exam.Plan: 1.The physician discussed options of 1) observation and pain management; 2) trial of trigger point injections into obturators and possibly pudendal block; 3) excision of vaginal mesh and or obturator arms.The patient preferred to try a local block.2.Urine sent for culture.To notify the patient if uti.3.Follow-up in 2 weeks for trigger point injections.4.Repeat pvr at f/u appt and if normal, consider increasing vesicare to 10 mg.On (b)(6), 2012, the patient presented for local injection, trigger point at obturator internus muscles near ischial spine and pudendal nerve block at insertion of the apical arm to the ssl.The patient reported pain relief upon injection on the left side.Plan at that time included: 1.Patient to monitor for further improvement at home.If the injection does not resolve or improve the pain, she was discussed about having a surgery.However, she said she would rather live with the pain than have to return to the or for mesh excision.2.Follow up in 2-3 weeks.3.If the retention persists, repeat pvr at follow up appointment.On (b)(6), 2012, the presented for a follow-up visit and reported that had completely resolved.Assessment at that time noted resolved postoperative incomplete bladder emptying, pelvic pain radiating to l leg when walks, and pudendal neuralgia.On (b)(6), 2014, the patient presented for increased urgency, frequency, uui, increased pain and possible uti.She failed to follow-up for refill of vesicare in (b)(6) 2012.Since off this medication, she had terrible urgency and frequency, with urgency incontinence and was using poise pads.She also had 1 episode of possible gross hematuria a week ago.Additionally, the patient reported recurring pain that was 10/10.The pain was not related bowel or bladder function.She was on a long acting narcotic for her generalized pain issues.On the same day, pudendal nerve block procedure was performed.20mg/2ml of kenalog and 9ml of 0.5% marcaine were injected in each side.Procedure well tolerated.Major improvement noted 15 minutes after injection.On (b)(6), 2014, the patient reported generalized groin pain that improved for a week after pudendal nerve block in (b)(6) 2014 but then the symptoms returned.She reported constant sharp, shooting vaginal pains that radiate to abdomen and having difficulty walking.She used a cane to ambulate.She would like to have the mesh removed.Furthermore, the patient reported that she was still having urinary urgency, urgency incontinence.She took vesicare with some relief but ran out of medication.She stopped using vaginal estrogen cream as it caused burning.She also started on spironolactone for leg swelling.She has chronic pain, fibromyalgia and peripheral neuropathy and was on methadone and oxycodone.On (b)(6), 2014, the patient underwent vaginal excision of mesh, cystocele repair, enterocele repair and cystourethroscopy procedures for the treatment of mechanical complication of vaginal mesh and implant and chronic pelvic pain.Postoperative diagnoses were noted as the same plus enterocele.No patient complications after the procedure.The patient was transferred to the recovery room in stable condition.On (b)(6) 2014, the patient presented for routine postop care.She reported no urinary changes since last visit except some new onset dysuria for which she had ua (to restart vaginal estrogen if urine culture grows).She was still at her baseline with urge incontinence and denied sui.She reported 10 days ago episode n/v and since then that time she complained of abdominal pain with decreased appetite.She reported an extensive history of adhesive disease.On (b)(6), 2014, she reported worsening low abdominal diffuse pain that was radiating to both sides at that time; dysuria; felt hot and would turn the air conditioner up strong then she would have chills on occasion but no measured temperatures (within normal limit during the visit); and using chronic narcotics without improvement.On (b)(6) 2015, she presented for a physical exam.She has no new medical complaints.Screening assessments: location of pain: vagina, duration of pain: <30 mins, character of pain: sharp.
