C-section scar tissue agony

[AhaShakeHeartbreak12]

Hi,

I'm 28 weeks pregnant. For relevance I had my first csection 19 months ago and will be having another in 3 months. I have severe keloid scars, so my scar tissue will be keloided.

Having regular flare ups of absolute agonising pain around my lower right side of my stomach, not on my csection scar itself. It's the exact same pain I experienced within the first few days of recovery after my first csection.

Most of the time it's manageable, but there is time where it completely floors me. The pain is intense, burning and pulling and I can't move when it happens. I've tried paracetamol, cold compresses and I can't have anything touching my stomach as in bed covers, T-shirt's as it makes it worse.

It can last a few hours at a time.

My MAU initially said it was just regular aches and pains, but is this normal to be unable to move and crying in agony? I'm worried my scar tissue is thinning and there's a problem.

Has anyone had this?

Hi @AhaShakeHeartbreak12 how are you? Did you get checked out? X

Also wanted to urge you not to leave it @AhaShakeHeartbreak12 and get checked out.

It definitely doesn’t sound normal. There was only just over a year between my first and second c section and I had no pain throughout the second pregnancy. Then there was again only about 15 months between my second and third c section. Still no pain.

I’m now 24 weeks with baby 4. So I’ve had 3 c sections and a tummy tuck, so have a big scar, and I’ve had no pain again. It very occasionally feels a little itchy but nothing major and absolutely never uncomfortable or painful.

I’ve noticed even had anything that could be described as muscular so for your midwife to dismiss it as that seems crazy.

I’d definitely see a GP and push to be checked!

That should have said I’ve never even had anything that could be described as muscular pain
