A member asked:

Pain in lower abdomen near csection scar. sensitive to touch. pain is lessened by passing gas/bm. 1 yr post op. pain is daily for at least 3 mo.

Possible adhesion: You may have an adhesion from your C/section healing that may be "kinking" the intestine creating your discomfort. Have your OB MD re-examine you to determine if this or some other cause is present.

Hurt my stomach at gym. Saw Dr, sent for sonar, sonar indicated torn stomach muscle and blood clot on right side. I'm not convinced that's all, as pain is right across my whole lower abdomen and pains when I sneeze. Could c-section scar have torn?
