pain in leg after c-section

I delivered my son 4 months ago via c-section, and I'm experiencing a dull pain in one of legs. Has anyone else experienced this? I thought it was related to just recovering from the c-section, that maybe my nerves had just been nicked. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

    Where do you have the pain exactly? It could be a wide range of things from a clot to sciatic pain. It depends on the location and other symptoms. Clots usually form in the calf and the area tends to be warm, red and swollen. Sciatic nerve pain is common after pregnancy, no matter how you delivered and it can occur at any point along the sciatic nerve, which starts at your spine and goes down the back of your leg (you can google it for the exact location). If it's nerve pain, which is the most likely cause, there's not a lot you can do besides rest and put heat on it and, if it's really bad, the dr can you give you corticosteroids. But see a doctor for sure for an exact diagnosis.
