Painful/ Itchy/numb/fiery Scar

I’m 5almost 6 months post partum and my scar is all of the above. I had a check up today and the doc did an internal and external exam and took a pee sample but boiled it down to “exercising may have pulled your muscle”. My exercises include lifting the baby from bed to arms haha. But anyone ever experienced this. It’s so uncomfortable 😣

Is it red around the scar? When i had an infection it was hot to touch and red. But i think numbness and itchiness are normal and part of the healing process unfortunately. X

I had an infection at 4 weeks pp but it has since cleared and healed. It’s really tight and my mom thinks maybe my stitches were just initially tight and now my body is reacting to it but the doc today didn’t even look good enough to tell. I feel like I was dismissed as quick as I came. Like should it be burning?!

Yeah the burning i don't think is normal tbh as that's what I got told when I went to emergency care to get checked. Maybe go to emergency care in case? Or something... as it's a c section you should get seen quickly as well. I would get a second opinion as you don't want it to get worse xx

Yeah I’d get a second opinion too. So annoying when they just pass it off as nothing when it’s really affecting you. You’re supposed to be able to go to them for help🙃Especially if you haven’t done any exercises other than normal tasks (picking up baby etc) then you know that they haven’t really looked into it.
