I would say no its not. Its quite common to get scar adhesions so would definitely worth asking someone to have a look. Might be better to go private if you can afford to because of long NHS waiting lists etc and likely to be fobbed off as perfectly fine.....
My C section scar had a hole at one end and was leaking pus and I was told that was perfectly normal?! If I was a dog and gone to the vets, I would have immediately been put on antibiotics and a wound care management plan!

I can’t remember when mine stopped hurting. Do you mean just when you touch it or all the time? I think to touch mine hurt for a while.

It's when slight pressure is put on my tummy it's horrible I can't explain it doctor didn't see concerned when I mentioned it as scar was all looking fine 😞

I do remember thinking it was hurting for longer than I thought it would.

No mine stopped hurting within a few weeks. I think you need further investigation so insist on it - don’t accept the brush off.
