Still numb

My abdomen is still semi numb after 3 months! It's that weird numb feeling, like when novicane is wearing off. Anyone else have this issue for this long?

My DD is two and this just went away for me recently. Doctor siad they try and avoid big nerves but sometimes miss the little ones.

Some people have spots of numbness that never go away entirely. I have one little spot that still goes numb sometimes.

When the skin is cut microscopic skin nerves are cut. This is unavoidable. Some women's numbness improves over time, but some women also have numbness forever and that is normal as well. If the numbness is not gone by a year, I would say that it is likely to staythat way.

I am nearly 4years post c-section (though both my DD's were both c/s) and am still numb. That being said I am also 18years post appendectomy and that is numb as well.

Yeah, my son will be four next month, and I still have a small numb spot by my incision. There was a larger numb area for at least 2+ years, but it's slowly been shrinking.

you'll still have numb spots for a couple of years or more.

My DS is 10 months old and I am still numb directly above my incision.

I'm 3 1/2 months too and still numb. The incision is always numb and at certain times, like with my period when I'm bloated, the numbness around it is more prominent. I don't expect it to ever go away so if it doesn't I won't be disappointed.

It took about a year for my numbness to completely go away. Mine was above the incision and not on the abdomen.

I dont just have numb spots, that whole area is still numb and painful when DD kicks or sits on me, or i bend a certain way. *crys*

I'm 2 1/2 years PP with DD and 7 months PP with DS and since having DD I've had a big numb spot. I doubt it will go away completely. It's not as big of a spot as it originally was, but it's still a lot. Doesn't bother me though.

Almost 8 months PP and I'm still pretty numb.

I've had alot of success with massaging my scar. It's made my scar less noticable and it's helped alot of the feeling come back!

I was still numb a year after...my doc is a woman and she said she's had 4 c-sections and she's totally numb still (last one was 3 years ago). It's nothing to worry about...it just may never come back!
