Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain At Incision Scars

Hello my name is Christina I am 27 years old I have had two c sections the first one ruptured and took a while to heal. Then when my son was 1 I was pregnant with my daughter and my incesion was still fresh from the last c section... I have lots of scar tissue! I have been going to to the gym this week and have experienced SEVERE pain and went to the doctor they are sending me to a pain specialist to put shots in it but isnt that just a bandaid solution to my problem ???

Hi Christina,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

The pain you are experiencing at your scar site might be related to possible tear of scar tissues while exercising at gym.

I advise to consult with your pain doctor first and re-evaluate the condition of your scar before going to gym again.

The idea is to avoid putting pressure to the scar tissue (work overload) until it is completely healed.
Take over the counter pain-killer and apply analgesic cream locally if no inflammation.

All the best!
