C Section Pain- localized
Hi all!
Wanting to see if anyone knows the reason or potential causes of the following pain/feeling after a c section!
I typically have a pretty high pain tolerance, and for the first 5-7 days after my c section I was having unbearable pain on the right side of the incision, it felt like deep under the incision like a burning stabbing pain.
It primarily occurred when I'd switch or shift weight, it really wasn't too bad with the typical pain causers like getting out of bed or rolling (also painful but maybe 3/10, whereas the shifting weight while walking or standing was 8/10).
The nurses assured me this was normal and while I believe them, I didn't know a lot of other people that had totally unbearable and unmanageable pain (I didn't take narcotics to be fair!).
Anyways- i know a few people on this thread have described this pain but I was wondering if anyone knows why it occurs!
Quick update: I wasn't given narcotics but was given Tylenol and voltarin and took everything on schedule up till 3 weeks pp!
