Persistent C-Section Scar Pain: Causes & Relief


Question
I saw that you answered a question on pain in a scar but here is my issue.  My youngest is 2.  I have had 4 c-sections. just recently I started feeling a dull pain in my scar... all the time.  It hurts really bad when I exercise or move in a certain way.  Why is this happening and what can I do?  I need to be able to function properly for my 6 little people.

Answer
Adhesions form as a result of surgery, disease, or injury. As your last C was 2 years ago, and the onset of your pain is recent, see your doctor to rule out any medical issues. If they don't find a medical reason for your pain, then if could be due to adhesions. If it is, then deep tissue massage can help a lot.
