I am 5 weeks post c section. healing was good, incision fine. now i suddenly have pain internally above and below scar. what could this be? no fever

Incision pain: when you cut the skin in the transverse incision (AKA bikini cut), you cut the nerves that supply that area of skin. when the nerves hit the new scar tissue you will get sharp to almost shock like pains on either side of the scar. Less likely would be an incisional hernia.
