painful scar almost 2 years on

[sirenz]

It has been almost 2 years since ds was born via emergency c/s and I am now feeling pain on my scar. Is this normal?

I am thinking that maybe the nerves are starting to grow back and that is why I am now feeling pain.. but i'm not sure.

anyone else take this long to start hurting?

If I had a scar start hurting after that amount of time I would get it checked out by a doctor. People sometimes go back and have surgery to fix scar problems at a later date. I don't think you need surgery or anything- but it doesn show that scars sometimes have a life of their own and need management.

Definately get it checked babe. I had dd 18 months ago almost and my scar has been infected 3 times. Last time was about 3 months ago and it was so bad I was put on Antibiotics 3 times a day for 7 days, it was crap! My doctor told me because *COVER EYES IF YOU GET QUEEZY* i was literally POURING puss out of my wound cause it' had opened back up again, apparently there can be really deep infections under the scar and sometimes it takes a while for them to surface kwim? Before my last infection mine was sore, just felt like an ingrown hair.

hmmm ok thanks ladies, I will get it checked out.. I thought it might be because I mowed the lawn too and strained some muscles in that area

Hi Sirenz
best to get it checked but it might not be anything major - my 1st c/s felt like it was being 'pulled' if i did some movements until it was cut out when i had my 2nd c/s - then had no pain etc. But like KL said - best checked in case of infection - eeek i didn't know you could get infected so late after - i guess that must have been some dodgy sewing!
