Anyone else experience this?
So I am 2 weeks post csection. This is my second one.
Week 2 I am experiencing an increase in pain and the pain meds do nothing. The pain is on my right side of the incision and it is sharp. It hurts to stand and walk so much more than the previous week. The incision sight looks fine but I cannot explain the increase in pain and just on one side. Also when I shower if water touches the right side I get shooting sharp pain.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I have an appointment Wednesday. My first csection week 2 and 3 the pain def was going away and not increasing. Week 4 I could go outside for a stroll but currently it hurts way too much just to walk a couple feet and to stand for 5 minutes 😭 Completely different experience than my first csection and I hate it. Only relief I get from the pain is sitting down or laying down.
Sometimes increased pain can be a sign of an infection even if the site looks ok. I had increased pain and it was infected lots of hardened skin underneath that I didn't know about. I hope this doesn't happen for you but better to check!
@Stephanie thank you. I hope not 😥 But would be nice to have answers for the pain.

I would definitely call your doctor. I’m 4 weeks post c section and I have no pain at all and I really didn’t have pain around 2 weeks though everyone is different. I still don’t think the pain should be increasing at all. Make sure your taking it easy not lifting anything heavier than your baby and get as much rest as possible
