Having Mild Pain Above Incision Post C Section. How Long Does It Take To Recover?
How long does it take to recover from c section? I am almost 3 months post c sec now and get some mild aches on the right side just above my incision. It's not regularly that I get it but on and off...During my check up I was told the incision is healed well and also had a scan done and was all fine. So I wonder what's that pain all about?

Hi. It is good that the scan is normal and the Doctor has said the incision is healed. The obvious reason is entrapment of small sensory nerves in the scar can give you this sensation of mild ache albeit just above the scar. This will go on its own and may take about 3 to 9 months. Do not over-treat at home. Leaving alone is always better.
