Afternoon ladies! I am currently 5 days post c section, and healing well, however I have the WORST pain behind my shoulder blade, the midwifes have advised it will be wind onside from op, but it is agony! So much worse then the actual C section it feels like a deep aching burn!! Has anyone got any tips for shifting it??? Xx

Peppermint tea - it will be post c-section wind. Lactulose. Senakot (the packet says don’t if breastfeeding, but midwives told me it was fine). Eat lots of fibre / drink water. Go for a walk if you can. Good luck.

I couldn’t quite believe the cause of it, either!
