Tenderness??

[SHAMto3]

It's been 4.5 weeks since my cs and all of a sudden this week my abdominal area (about 1-2" below belly button) is VERY tender. Sore when I'm moving and more so when I've been sitting then get up. Not sure what's going on....normal or not?

Anyone?

Hi there

Have you been doing any more than usual? That can sometimes trigger seem tenderness.

As you're only 5 weeks pp I wouldn't worry about tenderness, it's normal. I had tenderness a good few months pp on random days but I put it down to the healing process.

If you're still tender at 6 weeks pp when you have your check, let them know but so long as you're not in terrible pain and your scar looks clean and healthy I wouldn't worry too much this soon after your op

I think I've been on the go more as overall I'm feeling better. I think it's likely muscle pain, maybe because I have the feeling back in my abdominal area again?? It's better today.

Keep an eye on it, just to be sure. But it does sound quite normal given your only a few weeks pp. try and chill out as much as possible and don't do any heavy lifting/twisting/driving etc and see if it eases off a little. Xx

I've been having this and put it down to doing more. As long as incision looks good and you've no other signs of infection such as a fever then likely its fine
