Question

It's been 1 week now since I had My c-section for some reason my lower left stomach about 3 to 4 inches down and to the left of my belly button has this internal burning almost tearing like pain that is pretty much there when I get up and move around or try to lay in bed it's an awful pain like an 8 out of 10 pain if not more definitely makes me wanna cry. What is this is it a muscle healing or tearing or is it nerve pain? Or what and what can I do about it

Answer

My pain was on the left side of my incision. The rest of it didn’t hurt. But the left part that did felt like I was ripping it open every time I walked. I thought that maybe my doc did a shotty job closing me up. Granted my incision line is super crooked. It went away eventually.

Answer

I’m having the same thing except it’s on the right side of my incision. I’m only 1 week post my c-section and the burning, stinging sensation comes and goes but man does it hurt! I’ve cried from it too.

Answer

I had this exact complaint and at my 7 day post partum checkup, I sobbed to my OB. With my first I didn’t experience this pain so I had no idea what it was. My awesome OB drew me a picture and it was an anchor stitch where they started your internal stitches. In order to get started your doctor has to take a chunk of fat and fascia and sometimes muscle, if too much of this was grabbed it gets super tight on that side and pulls when you move causing the intense pain. After about 2 weeks that pain dissipates, if it doesn’t my OB gave me a script to get a cat scan done.  With my first my OB did my c section and I had no problems. With my second, my OB’s brother did it my section.

Answer

All I have found to work is heating pad and a binder. 
Taking Motrin and Tylenol

Answer

So this is a normal feeling? What is it like nerve pain or muscle tissue

Answer

That was the worst for me. I would double over and just sob. Worst pain I’ve ever experienced and I was in labor for 32 hours before my csection. 
It goes away eventually. I found that pressing hard with a flat palm over the area helped when standing or walking up the stairs.
