A member asked:

I gave birth via csection a month ago& the surroundings of my incision has stinging pain. my neck and back hurts also. is this normal postpartum symp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really.: The pain around your incision may be in indication of normal healing. Your neck and back pain have little if anything to do with the c-section. I suggest you talk to your doctor and let him check you out and find out what's going on.
