Yesterday, October 3rd, I along with three others had a tele conference with the FDA/CDRH over the complications that people are having with mesh surgeries. If you look back thru all of the posts here on this site, you will see for youself that there are many people who are having complications from these mesh products.

The FDA is aware of the post market complications, but have asked that everyone who is having complications regardless of how small they seem they are they should file an adverse event form with the Government. They have stated, that they feel these complications are well under reported and can not help until they feel a certain percentage is met.

I am sure that some of you here did not know that you could report your complications to the FDA here is the link www.fda.gov/medwatch as you can see these complications strike male and female alike. You have to know your rights.

Not all surgeons are willing to tell you that the mesh they implanted is the source of your problems, they will tell you that what you are experiencing is normal, give it time, they send you to pain management and keep denying that any thing is wrong for legalities. While the whole time you are suffering in pain.

As I said you have to know your rights and it is your right to file with the FDA. If you would like to continue to suffer with your complications then you can ignore this post, if you would like to hold these device manufacturers accountable for what you have been going thru then you must file the report. It is the only way to make the manufacturers and a lot of surgeons understand that what you are going thru is real and you are not crazy, these problems are real and disabling to many people.

BY filing your report, you not only help yourself but you can also help others from going thru the same ordeal as yourself.
