pain in bladder after c-section

[kezz_howland]

I had a c-section (elective) 10 days ago, and since about 4 days after the section, i've had a strange pain when peeing. It's not like a UTI (had many of those when I was younger)... it doesn't burn or anything, and it feels higher up, like it's in my actual bladder. I get it at the end of peeing, like as my bladder reaches empty. It's more painful when my bladder has been more full. Tonight I held it a bit too long and when I peed it hurt a bit as usual, but then I couldn't lean forward on the loo cause I got shooting pains in the same place. I just wondered if anyone had had the same pains? I haven't said anything to doc/midwife as I just figured it was something to do with recovery from the op, but now i'm not so sure?

I could have written this! I was searching for answers for this pain and found this question but it never got any answers. Maybe now someone knows something?
The pains are quite bad when I lean forward or sit down on a chair in a certain way. Getting up requires me to clench my inner muscles as if I am doing Kegel exercises. My c-section was Wednesday a week ago and I know of course that it requires healing but this is new and I am a lil worried. I am thinking of going in but I know Ill be there for at least half the day just waiting and that is not something easily done with twins.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hiya Angel!

Just to let you know mine stopped after about a week or two, and never came back! Now, 11 weeks after c-section I have no pains or twinges or anything! HTH!!

Thank you! That is good to know. I have been neglecting my pain meds and when I took them again the pain went away so I think I was over reacting but will be keeping an eye on it. xxx

This same thing happened to me. I went in for a UTI test but it came back negative. The extreme pain went away but now I am 8 weeks post c-section and I have to pee all the time and have a dull pain in there. Have any of you experienced this?

I didn't have a c-section but have this strange balloon blowing up like, pressure feeling when I wee. Also when I get up off the loo or just standing up too fast. I assumed it was to do with the catheter.. It wasn't until 5 or 6 days pp that the pain started. I'm 3 weeks pp now though and it hasn't gone away Sorry I can't really help, just pretty sure I have the same thing.

I assumed it was to do with the catheter..

Yes I thought this too. Mine didn't start right away either. Well, I hope it goes away fast for you!
