A member asked:

I seem to have compressed nerve in lower abdomen after c-section by scar tissue. feel pulling senation. will it be ok with time? treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve pain: You can get nerve irritation near the edges of a horizontal c/s scar. These usually resolve by 3-6 months, but not always. Sometimes the nerve gets "trapped" and compressed by the scar tissue. This usually requires a surgical correction of the problem.
