I'm 3.5 weeks out the incision pain on the one they took the stomach outta HURTS STILL! It's so frustrating! I think it's most frustrating because the pain comes and goes. Yesterday it didn't hurt as much and then today I wake up and BAM. I was more active yesterday. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Does anyone have any suggestions I can do to alleviate the pain for good. Will working out more help the area heal quicker?

Also the stitch is sticking out from that incision. The incision itself looks pretty closed now with the exception of the stitch sticking out

Help ????

I know the feeling. I was told by nut n dr that protien helps with healing process, even though u feel bettet on somedays remember it will take atleast 6weeks to get your,body back to normal. The surgery was major. Take it easy watch rapid movements. I hate feeling this way. But I will take it one day at a,time.

After my c-section, I had a stitch sticking out. It hurt! It was pulling on that tender skin and irritating it. As soon as the doc pulled it out, the pain was immediately gone. Maybe your doc or the nurse could just get it out.

I had two or three stitches come out thru that one

For sure get that stitch removed if you can. I bet it is irritating it some. It was a good 6 weeks for that incision area to be not sore. It takes time to heal. When I was more active it would hurt more or if I slept in a different position. Bending over to pick up something was the worst. Just get your protein in to help with healing and liquid Tylenol is great when really sore.

That us totally normal according to my doctor. I had intense pain until I woke up on the day of my 4th postop week anniversary. That day, and ever since, my pain is completely gone.

Thanks for all the responses everybody! I appreciate it

The nurse from my surgeon's office told us to expect pain every now and then from the side the stomach comes out while recovering. She said to use ice pack to help bring swelling and take pain meds. Hope that works. Feel better!
