I had a C-Section just over 7 weeks ago. As time went by, and everyone
said I should start to feel a little better each day, I felt no
improvement whatsoever.
My lower abdomen is extremely sore and tender to the touch, I get sharp
pains in the right side of my pelvis certain ways I move. After 3 weeks
post-partum, they admitted me into hospital to check it out. There was
no remaining products left from the section and no sign of infection. I
was in hospital for a week, given a course of antibiotics, then
released. No answers, no improvement.
Since then, another 3 weeks have passed and I am now in greater pain and
constipated as well. I get stomach cramps when I eat and the nausea has
increased.
I asked both my GP and OB/GYN if it could be adhesions and they said no,
it's too early for them to form. I was made to feel like I was just a
wimp who couldn't recover from surgery and to suck it up. Can you get
adhesions from just one C-Section? When do they form? I thought it was
only a few days post-op and that most people get them, but they don't
necessarily affect everyone.
I'm so confused. Help.
