C section ache

I am 4 weeks out and I have a dull ache still on only the left side of my incision in a small spot, it gets so bad I take Tylenol to help with the pain. Is anyone else still having a little pain this far out? I have my appt with the dr. But just wondering if anyone else is feeling same.

Re: C section ache

  • I'm only three weeks but it's my right side. Still hurts and still need medicine sometimes. I don't remember it lasting this long with my first. Hope you feel better soon.

  • @poppy1099 I wonder if it is the side that the Drs. Closed up the cut? My incision looks great and not red or anything. It is inside pain. Hope you feel better soon too!

    I am the same way, 4 weeks out and pain inside. Went for check up today and he said it felt normal and looked good. He went over my previous C section scar and it's on the side he closed on I believe.
  • I think you guys are right about the closing. Probably has to do with it being a repeat also.
  • Mine was a repeat too. It must be that and the closing. Hope all you ladies heal well!
  • I'm feeling the same...Its only on one side and it doesn't feel like the incision itself, but maybe inside pain? Also, its a repeat C-section for me too.

  • I'm feeling the same also on one side. I also had a repeat csection.
  • I have a weird almost tugging pain on my left side under the skin still too. Incision looks good I was told at two weeks I'm not 3 weeks PP and it gets bad some days dependinv on what I'm doing.
  • I have pain in my right side... My Ob told me it's because they tilt the table during surgery to one side to avoid compressing the arterial blood supply to the baby. Then when they are getting the baby out they have to work around the organs that Gravity is pulling towards your midline. Which can cause pain as you recover.

    It sucks because it's really painful some days. I'm 3 weeks out.
