Still in pain from C-Section 15 months later

I had a c-section 15 months ago and even this long after I an having pain from it. It is not like fresh surgery pain, it feels more like I am going to split open from the inside. It happens when I lift things and when I am having to hold something with my arms held out. It is really quite painful and I dont know why this is happening to me. I think I might have been sewn up crooked or something. The doctor that ended up doing my surgery was not the best one for the job but I didn't find out untill way after.

What do you guys think?

When I read this I was hoping that someone had answered with what it might have been.  I too have had pain and heavy bleeding during periods and my twin girls are now 13 months old.  I feel like something has healed  wrong internally but doctors are not taking me seriously.  It feels like something is attached to my naval, I am still very swollen, and during periods the pain and bleeding are unbearable.  I have an appointment to see yet another obgyn.  Hopefully She will take me seriously as the previous two male doctors did not.  If you have found out what your pain was please let me know!

You sparked a memory in this ol' brain of mine. lol I remember the post c-section pain. Does it feel like a lil' bit of a burning? i don't know of another way to explain it. i would still ask about it when ya go to the doc.

Are you sure it's not pain form whatever else is going on, from what I read in your above post sounds like you should go in to see your Dr. and have it evaluated.  I would hope that they would have checked your C-section incision at your post natal check ups, but if it has been bothering you for so long, why wait till now?  Call your Dr. and let them know what's going on, sounds lie you should get in and be seen.  As for the pregnancy question from above, not a likely timeframe, but take a test if you are worried.  Is it similar to your last pregnancy?  Either way, call your Dr. and good luck, hope you feel better soon.
