Dodgy c section?

Posting for traffic. I had an ELCS nearly 6 weeks ago. Had some complications with healing and a small part remained open and got infected. All sorted and healed now after a course of antibiotics. The wound is closed. How ever the past two days I've had a really dull ache/sore feeling beneath the scar. Is it possible for a section to get infected once it's healed? Could it just be the muscles knitting together? I felt so much better so not sure where this sudden pain has come from. It's not terrible but definitely a noticeable dull ache.

I'm 5 weeks post ELCS, zero complications and feeling the same internal ache. I just assumed it was healing but also as the weeks go on I've been gradually doing more and more

Could it be the internal stitches. I ached for a couple of years I think as the skin stretched back.
