Talk to your Dr.: Healing from a Cesarean section can take up to 6 months or longer depending on the type of incision and any complications. Pain is a common side effect of C-section, sometimes lasting years. The two main causes of post c-section pain are nerve pain and muscle pain. Nerve pain will go away after healing fully, Muscle pain can be treated by physical therapy, steroid injection, TENS stimulation.
