C section recovery pain 8 weeks on

Hi Im 8 weeks pp and still haven’t extreme tenderness with my lower abdomen after a c section.

My labour was induced with the drip at 41 weeks (waters broke but no labour). I was in labour for 19 hours but stalled at 5cm and various other issues which then resulted in a c section and my daughter weighed 9lb 2.5oz

I was treated with oral antibiotics at week 3 for endometritis which did seem to help pain and swelling slightly.

No retained placenta, bloods and vaginal swabs all clear since then but I’m still in extreme pain. I am unable to touch/put any pressure on my lower abdomen 8 weeks on due to the extreme pain still. Does anyone have any similar experiences? Feels as if the pain will never end.

My entire stomach has also changed skin colour and nobody seems to have any idea why. It’s a very random thing but it’s ever so dark in comparison
