I’m exactly one week post ELCS. It was a really positive experience after an extremely traumatic birth with DD1 and I’m really pleased with the decision.
However, in terms of physical recovery, it seems quite up and down. My scar is neat and whilst it felt quite tight on one side for a few days afterwards, that seems to have eased. Instead, at around 6 days post, Ive suddenly developed a searing burning pain on the skin to the right above my incision. It comes and goes (worse on standing/moving) but when it’s there it’s unbearable, it stings so much I can’t really move. Also very painful on that patch in the shower. Is this nerve pain? Will it go?? I’m one week post and still not been out of house apart from midwife appt
