I have pain all the time at my c-section scar. I feel popped open or as if string is pulling around everything right under there. I have bladder sensitivity, but don't feel I have to go all the time. I wake in the night with raw pain right there. Real bad. I take tylenol, but it doesn't help well. I had the potassium test, but wasn't convinced, because it didn't hurt, just felt different. Ob thinks I have IC and has me on elmiron and someting else for bladder spasms for the last month. Still in bad pain. What are your thoughts?I'm having a colonoscopy Monday to rule out other problems.

I don't want to sound like a sales rep for Evian water but try drinking it - a few moderate sips every half hour. It calms down my bladder real well as IC bladders are inflamed a lot.
Watch your diet - this is critical with the goodly amount of water intake. You will find it in the ICN archives.
Avoid hot baths.
This is some basic advice - see if it helps after a few days or a week at least.
For many IC pain feels like bad menstrual cramps.
Hope you feel better. -
Has anyone mentioned the possibility of adhesions from the surgery? Pain at the scar was one of my symptoms when I had them.
