Scar/incision tenderness question

in C-sections

I had an unplanned c-section six months ago. I've been able to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes for a few months now, but I can't stand to wear my jeans, because when I sit down, the denim presses/rubs against my scar, and it's really uncomfortable. Does this go away?? It hasn't been much of a problem over the summer - I just wear a lot of sun dresses or knit shorts - but once it starts getting cooler, I need to be able to wear jeans! All of my jeans are low-rise, which I'm sure is the reason it's uncomfortable. I guess I'm just wondering if I need to buy all new jeans or if it will eventually stop being uncomfortable to have a denim waist-band pressed against my scar.

ETA - fixed typo

    It goes away for some people, and for others it doesn't. I know people who had c-sections years ago that still have tenderness.

    Well that stinks! I guess I better start looking for good sales on jeans. Ugh.

    I am 7 days post c-section and kind of dreading this as Fall is approaching fast and I can't lounge around in summer dresses anymore. How continuing to wear maternity jeans, either under belly or with the panel?
