Hurting 6 weeks post c section

I had a c section 6 weeks ago and I've been feeling great. I went back to work 4 weeks after. But early last night my right side has been hurting and hasn't stopped. It hurts to walk and get up. It's super sore and like someone punched me and it won't stop throbbing. Is this normal or should I go see my doctor today?

  • I would definitely call your doctor and let them know what's going on. They will probably want to see you just to be safe

  • I would call your doctor. My discharge paperwork said if I suddenly start having pain again that I should go in. Plus did you get cleared to go back to work? I thought you needed to be off for at least 6 weeks to allow for recovery.

  • I'm surprised they cleared you to work at 4 weeks. I'm not cleared until 8 weeks. Anyway, no I don't think it's normal and I would definitely call. Hope it's nothing and you feel better soon!
  • Possible hernia? Call!

    Yeah I went to the doctor and he said it was okay for me to go back. The nurse said its normal to have pain just as long as it wasn't infected. If it's showing signs of infection to call ASAP again. I have a doctors appointment the 28th to get an IUD put in so I'll ask again. I just took some Ibuprofen and it went away so I'm glad.
