Episiotomy pain

Y'all it's been 11 weeks Monday and my pain is still here! It hurts into my butt and my thigh :( I had surgery on an abcess but the doctor says the pain isn't from my wound. Anyone else still in pain?

Re: Episiotomy pain

  • I'm 11 weeks out and had an episiotomy. Mine hasn't hurt in several weeks. Sorry you're experiencing this! I hope it feels better soon!

  • Thanks, I just hope it goes away soon. Ive been dealing with pain since he was born
  • Yep! I had a pretty significant tear and I'm 13 weeks out. I'm still sore and have pain in my tailbone. Someday I'll feel better... And then I'll have another baby lol
  • I didn't have an episiotomy but tore naturally, lower and upper. I still have pain where my labia tore in half
  • I didn't have an episiotomy - I had a second degree tear - but it will still feel uncomfortable every now and then. What really gets me is my tailbone and pelvic region ache sooooooo bad. When I wake up in the morning I waddle to the bathroom like I used to in the middle of the night at eight months pregnant, it's so crazy!
  • I'm 11 weeks also and still sore down there. I went to the doc and she told me that I have one area that's still red and that's the area that hurt. She said that it will heal in time :(
  • At the end of the day when I'm bending over and picking up toys, something down there hurts haha. LO will be 12 weeks tomorrow.
  • 9w PP, and my episiotomy only just feels mostly healed. My midwife said it wasn't quite there at 7w, and to wait an extra week for sex. I still feel it if I sit down wrong.

  • I had a second degree tear. I am 10 weeks pp and still sore. It's as if I can feel the scar after sitting for long. I didn't heal properly for ages and had a red area. Turned out it was a bit inflamed and got a two week course of antibiotics, but didn't want to take them because I am BF. I used nappy cream on the area instead, and within days it was almost gone!!!
  • What kind of cream?
  • Just Penaten baby cream. It's a wonder cream in my opinion! Works wonders on scars and scratches and burns, too.
