C-Section Advice

One side effect that I had that surprised me was severe neck/shoulder pain about 5-7 days after the c-section. Evidently air can get trapped under your diaphragm during the procedure causing this discomfort. I'm sure there are varying degrees of pain, but mine was so bad I couldn't turn my head. I was sure it was something gone wrong with the epidural, but my doctor explained what was going on. I hadn't heard of this before, so I thought I would share.

My feet are SO swollen. Worse than when pregnant. It's painful - they feel like they are about to burst

Exactly 3 weeks post and right as I comment to someone that I was really starting to feel better. Wham- horrible lower abdominal pain around my incision area last night. Bad to the point of breaking out the Percocet again. Wondering how long I'll let it try to resolve before calling the Dr.
