Anyone else had this? I have developed endometriosis after the c section, it's so painful right now.

Mine still twinges. Two caesareans, one 11.5 years ago, second 10 years ago.

Still numb from them too (whole lower section of belly).

Does it wax and wane with your cycle? I'd try and push for a gynae appointment. Trouble is surgery can make even more endometrial adhesions and worsen endometriosis, but there may be some treatment to help (hormones/the pill/Mirena coil?).

I'm hoping this too shall pass! I'm post menopausal so not sure what the options are.

Definitely worth seeing the GP and pushing for a gynae consultation, as the endometriosis should have cleared up with the menopause.

Hope you get it sorted.

I had problems after my first, 11 years ago. The scar was painful years later. It always looked strange at one side, like it hadn't been stitched up correctly. 5 years later I had my second emergency section. The scar line is much neater, and no longer painful. Maybe you could be referred for some corrective surgery if it's the scar line that's a problem?
