3 weeks PP CS pain

My CS pain went away in about a week and a half. I didn't take any pain meds after being discharged from the hospital, so I know it really did feel better. Now it feels like it has come back. My incision is tender to touch and it feels hard. I also have some discomfort above my navel. Normal? Too many tight pants? Infection? This is my 2nd CS, so maybe I'm feeling scar tissue healing again? I have an appointment tomorrow, but just curious if this has happened to anyone else.

Re: 3 weeks PP CS pain

  • I am also 3 week PP c/s. I only occasionally get cramping on my left side but I think that is my uterus not my c/s incision. Other then that my incision is still sightly numb, pretty sure slight nerve damage, and it is a little hard behind it which im guessing is scar tissue. I have not had any pain above my naval and it is not tender to the touch, but everyone heals and recovers very different from a c/s (my friend was in pain and was hard for her to walk even 2 weeks pp c/s, but I was out doing errands etc at day 4 pp c/s.) so im sure what your experiencing is normal. You may want to call you ob though and see if they want to check it out sooner then your 6 weeks pp apt.

  • I had my 3rd and I'm 3 weeks 2 days pp. I still feel pretty sore some days. The area under my incision does feel a little firm (scar tissue). I also have not taken pain meds in a while so I think some days I am just a little more 'tender' than others. This time my belly button was purple on the inside and then the area above and below my navel was green and yellow. It almost looked like the color was draining down. I suppose with each section there is more tugging and pulling going on, as well as scar tissue removal. Hope you feel better soon.
  • Thanks, ladies. I have an appt today, just to make sure I don't have an infection going on.
