Specializes in Internal Medicine

Post partum pain: Would call the OB. Could be an abscess/infection developing. Check urine for infection as well or scarring adhesions( there is always scarring after any surgery and cutting- but usually not enough to cause pain- adhesions are variable but you can't predict). Call the OB today
