C section incision & area pain (7 months PP)

M

I had my first unplanned c section last May. I started walking as soon as possible and healed fairly well- lots of tightness in groin/incision. At 10 weeks I started light exercise and resistance (no direct abs) and 12 weeks I started running but stopped around 20 weeks due to back pain (massage therapist said that my hip flexors were trying to compensate for my lack of abs and ultimately were causing me back pain). So I have continued to walk or go to the gym to build some strength. The last 2-3 weeks my scar and pelvic area had just felt awful. I get random tweaks of pain at scar & around the area and feel constantly bloated. I’m wondering if this is normal and if anyone else has experienced this and if it went away on its own. TIA
