I'm hoping someone can advise me or reassure me. Had DS 10 weeks ago after episiotomy and ventouse delivery, was healing really well even my mw commented on how tidy my stitches looked! but just before my 6 week appt I was still quite tender and had a look and could see there was still a red area , dr checked it and said it just hasn't turned to scare tissue yet and swabbed for infection just in case, results came back but no infection.
However now at 10 weeks after birth and the same area is still red and still tender/ sore and I've found the pain even starts to radiate up the entire side of .. Well my vagina.. Sorry tmi, can even feel like sore pins and needles at times to the point it wakes me out of my sleep. went back to drs to again to be told its all perfectly normal and to just wait.
Is this right?? Surely 10 weeks on I should be healed and not getting pain I didn't have before?? Can anyone relate or had anything similar happen to them?
Feel like this is never ending :(
