My OB said the operating OB must have been standing on my right side (he was!) and that the muscles/tissue got pulled harder on that side because of where he was standing. It did go away eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-csection#post-2452680 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 11:44:45 +0000 BeachMama 2452680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could be adhesions/scar tissue. Even if the scar on the outside feels okay, think of all the layers of fascia and tissue that were cut through. You could have deeper adhesions on those areas.</p> <p>I had some occasional abdominal pain that felt like a muscle straining when I sat up certain ways for up to 3 years after that I always assumed was deeper scar tissue. It all went away after the birth of my 2nd. Maybe it all got stretched out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-csection#post-2452623 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 10:05:38 +0000 yoursilverlining 2452623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kitty: I have had pain like that, it wasn't the c-section itself, it was a trapped nerve that happened during the c-section. It only bothers me if I do strenuous ab work. Maybe talk to your OB about that possibility? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-csection#post-2452453 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 02:45:48 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2452453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had any pain like that. I've had three c-sections. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-csection#post-2452443 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 01:57:10 +0000 Boogs 2452443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kitty: What does the pain feel like? I've been having some pinching (though my c/s was a few years ago) near where my scar is, under the skin. Dr thinks it's a cyst and wanted to wait to see if it resolved itself. If you google ovarian cysts, see if any of it sounds similar to what you're experiencing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-csection#post-2452415 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 00:01:10 +0000 pastemoo 2452415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kitty: honestly couldn't tell you. They were on the left... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-csection#post-2452414 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 23:55:52 +0000 kitty 2452414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: yikes, doesn't sound pleasant! Were the adhesions inside the scar, or like on the uterus? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-csection#post-2452413 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 23:53:37 +0000 pastemoo 2452413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Around 2 months post partum I had pain I would have described like yours ( worse with certain exercises) and went to my Doc. Adhesions, yuck. Did some painful massage (I forget how often) till it stopped happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-csection#post-2452412 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 23:53:37 +0000 kitty 2452412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Blueberry: the scar itself is totally fine and it seems to have healed well, it's more in the flesh or whatever underneath. Good to hear that it's probably normal but I'll keep an eye on it :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-csection#post-2452411 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 23:51:08 +0000 Blueberry 2452411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kitty: is the area around the scar particularly tender/painful or the whole lower abdomen? I had pain around the scar during my second pregnancy because of the stretching. Maybe it is your physiotherapy.. I'd say it's normal but if it continues or gets worse I'd definitely ask the doc. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-csection#post-2452405 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 23:44:37 +0000 kitty 2452405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you have any aching or pain in the long term? I'm 5.5mo pp and I've been having some aching right behind my scar, almost like period pain but in a really specific area.</p> <p> I am also doing physiotherapy to build up my core again as I had a lot of separation lower down so I guess it could possibly be related to that.</p> <p>Is it just a normal csection recovery thing, my period returning, or something else? Or nothing :silly: </p>
