4 weeks post c section - injured myself bowling

I don’t know what the HELL I was thinking! But we went bowling today as a family, I hadn’t even considered the fact I’d had a c section 4 weeks ago, as I’ve been recovering well and feeling more myself again. Initially I was using really light balls, so felt no issues. I picked up a heavier ball to try and since using that one heavier bowling ball, I’ve caused myself pain on the right of my incision area. This is completely healed over but it’s a burning throbbing sensation… I’ve been on Google and terrified myself that I’ve done something serious.

has anyone got any advice or similar experience? Probably not as most wouldn’t be as stupid as me!

No similar experience as I didn’t go bowling but they did advise after my csection that the external wound will heal faster than the internal layers which is why you need to take it easy. I would call the maternity unit for advice? They should still help you over the phone at least.
