pls help! pain on my scar

I wore an elastic girdle to the office yesterday, trying to tuck my tummy in my pants. the band ended just above my C/S scar. by the time  i got hom, the scar was swollen and sore. right now, it's still painful, not knowing what to do, i placed an ice bag, and i felt better. DH is out of town,i'll see a doctor when he gets back this weekend. but first, is there anyone who know anything about this ordeal?  Is it going to rupture or what? i already discarded the girdle. i'm so unhappy with my life right now. thanks

hi,  saw the Doc. yesterday, big relieve. the scar actually opened a little at the edge, turns out it wasn't properly healed and the girdle put too much pressure on the spot. Got some antibiotics, feel a lot better.thanks
