sore ab muscles/c section

[2121]

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting in this section. I hope someome can help me. I had a c-section 2 years ago. Sitting on top of the right side of my scar is lupmy tissue that will feel like a pulled muscle every once in a while. The pain then goes up to about my belly button. Usually it will hurt when I am laying down and start to sit up. M gyne. said the lump is normal. My medical dr. said to wear an ab binder when I do ab work to avoid a hernia. I have had this pulled muscle feeling 3 times in 6 months, I am at my wits end. Does anyone ever experience this? And, what the heck can I do? Thanks, Melissa

Hi Melissa,

I cannot really help with your problem, but wanted to say I also had a c-section two years ago (and four years ago) and I still have pain around my scar. I have a pulling sensation and pain sometimes near the scar which I think is due to scar tissue (?) It tends to get sore if I do too much lower ab work too. My scar is also a little lumpy on one side. I know this doesn't help, but just wanted to commiserate with you!

Good luck and I hope someone can help.
Mary

Thank you so much for your reply. It helps a lot. Nobody seems to know what I am talking about. Anyhow, I have started slowly with a regular ab workout. I think it helps as it has only been a few days. You wonder if the dr. stictched too much stomach in one spot. Anyhow, thank you. Melissa
