Couple Wins Landmark Vaginal Mesh Lawsuit Settlement
By Kimberly Mirando
The landmark transvaginal mesh settlement will provide $5 million to the wife, Christine Scott, and $500,000 to her husband. Scott alleged in the vaginal mesh lawsuit that she has suffered complications ever since she had Avaulta Mesh implanted to correct a leaky bladder. She claims the defective Avaulta Mesh soon began cutting her colon, and tissue continues to grow through the tiny holes in the mesh. Scott has already had eight surgeries to try and correct the complications caused by the faulty vaginal mesh. Scott’s husband received $500,000 in the vaginal mesh lawsuit settlement because the couple alleged the mesh ruined their love life. It’s the first victory of its kind in the U.S.

I had given birth to a beautiful baby boy via c section in may if 2013. The hospital never told me about putting a mesh in me and glued me back up. Ever since then my scar has be really hot and hurts when I move certain ways like bending over. I have pains on and around the scar, even more so during my periods. Sometimes sex hurts and I haven’t been able to get pregnant. Lately if I bend over I get really light headed and start to black out, but goes back to normal before I fully black out. I’m not sure how to go about everything, if they didn’t put the mesh in and I try to sue I more than likely won’t get much for pain and suffering, let alone to reimburse my bills if it comes down to it. I sometimes feel my lower abdominal organs moving when I sit down and stand up. I was told by my OBGYN that I was fine but I’m not so sure. What should I do?
I have the mash and the sling I have the lower back pain the bleeding the hurting when we try to have sex so that part of my life is about over I even took picture of the bloody pantie to show the doctor they say its normal to have blood in or pee I’m going to the doctor a lot they don’t want to do nothing I fill like that it because they think that the lawsuit is why women are trying to make a claim and truth be told the doctors and the mash people are working together
