C-section problems

In November 2015 I had a c1 emergency c-section and it was horrific but I won’t go into details as it would end up being way too long! Basically they cut me open so quick and rushed my scar is a wreck, I have endometriosis which makes it worse, I have a iud so my periods have stopped but every time I have the slightest injury to my scar area within 20 mins I’ve got bad pain and vaginal bleeding, the bleeding only lasts as long as the pain and it also kick starts my bowels (I’m always constipated) Ive read that endometriosis can cause even more scar tissue and it can web on to the surrounding organs like the bowels etc, been to the doctors a few times and all they’ve done is palm me off with morphine and some cream that contains chillies which apparently numbs the area, the skin from my belly button to my pubis is completely numb anyway, surely they should re-operate and sort the scar out? It’s so debilitating and they just look at me like I’m over reacting 😡 I know 2 women that have had a small amount of trouble with their scars and they’ve had theirs sorted out and here I am crippled over in pain most days 2 years after having the c-section and they won’t do anything!

Go back to the doctor
Refuse to leave until you get a referral
Just because you're a mum and have had a c section you DO NOT deserve to live a life in pain!
Ok there might not be a magical cure but it needs more attention and expertise than a gp can give

I was fobbed off for another reason, caused from pregnancy etc
2.5 years of being turned away with painkillers
Only when I moved to a different part of he country did I get any sort of support!

Honestly, keep going back! Take someone with you who can back you up if needed x
