Mesh adverse side effects

I had a pelvic repair done a few years ago with mesh. Since then I have been experiencing a variety of symptoms that are so severe I was referred for testing for MS. The tests show I don't have MS but symptoms like hand shakes, twitching eye, memory issues, speech issues, mobility (legs just stop working resulting in falls with injury) bowel issues, incontinence ect all seem to throw up a red flag for the mesh. Can you advise of the adverse side effects of having the mesh

Re: Mesh adverse side effects

I am sure that you are aware that problems associated with mesh have become a very complicated, and politicized and legalised issue.
Some of your specific symptoms incontinence, bowel issues may be related, but it is as yet unproven that mesh can cause systemic (distant) problems
I think you need to be very carefully assessed in one of the specialised units that deals with mesh issues to ensure that you get expert, and sensible (safe) advice.
