How long does it take for pain to stop after cs

Stick Around

Everyone will have a different experience.  I went back to the hospital 3 weeks out because I still could barely walk and the pain was miserable and they only gave me enough pain pills for, like, 4 days at home and wouldn't give me any more.  It took about 5 weeks for me to feel decent.

I actually had very little pain.  I had a pain button and only pushed it a couple of times after surgery.  They started me on oral meds about 8 hours after surgery and I was up walking around shortly after that. When you go home just stay on a schedule for your pain meds....after a few days you can adjust the schedule and spread out the paint meds.  Before you know it you will have forgotten you had surgery!

totally go away, as in no pain at all? A few weeks.

the more intense pain was about 3 days. It was hard for me to sleep because I was so sore.

4 weeks out I remember being in a store and coughing and the burning sensation was so awful, but only because I coughed. I was ok otherwise.

I stopped taking narcotics on day 8 and Tylenol a couple days later.  I would say I've had no discomfort of any kind since about 3.5 weeks but that seems earlier than other people I know.  Everyone heals differently.

The only day I took a pain pill while in the hospital, after the epi & everything wore off, (other than tylenol for headaches) was the day I left. They wanted to make sure I would react ok to it. Other than that, I took two more that day after getting home, mostly because my milk had came in & my head really hurt. Otherwise I haven't had any pain, except for when sneezing, etc. and headaches. I haven't touched my pain pills since the day we got home.

I would say it took about 2 weeks or a little less for all my pain to disappear.  Obviously the pain is the worst the first few days and then it starts to improve each day.  Eventually it becomes just a mild annoying pain.  I didn't need my pain meds longer than one week.

This is my second C Section. My first recovery was horrible and it took about 6 weeks but that wad due to an infection. This most recent one I was pretty much pain free after a week and a half.

The healing is different for everyone. For me it took about 8 weeks to feel okay. Okay like I could walk around the kitchen and clean a bit. I was so impatient and thought I should have bounced right back. I also had some serious cramping and burning off an on about 6-9 weeks out. I am about 5 months out and still have some odd pains and feelings at times but I do feel worlds better. I hope you heal fast!
