Horrible Csection pain 3 months later :( help please?

Question:

I had a emergency csection 3 months ago which was a nightmare. The doc was very rough and sent me home knowing i was still in unbearable pain. (living 2 hours away from civilization). I kept calling and telling him how much pain i was in only to be told it would get better. then after a month of bedrest and using a bedpan i noticed that the "supposed" disolvable staples that were used on the inside were coming out of my skin. all 14 of them. He told me that he must have used the wrong ones and that he would have to go in again and cut out the staples with all the built up scar tissue, then id be out of pain.
So he did. And sewed me back up. now a month and a half after the corrective surg in having terrible pain along the scar. its debilitating and the scar will turn purple, then blood red, then back to the thin pink line thats considered normal. it seems like no one can tell me whats going on that is causing it this time. but i know how awefull this pain is. any suggestions~?

Answers:
Sounds like your doctor is not very good. After a c section it is natural to have some pain but not for this long. I had a similar problem and decided it was time for me to go to another doctor. Of course they had to do a laprascopic surgery then cut me open because the doctor who did my c section sewed my bladder to my uterus. That may not be your problem but you definitely need to go to a different doctor.

I'd seriously consider finding a different doctor, a specialist, and, having a thorough exam (if you haven't already),
as well as a good lawyer.

I'd be worried the Dr. might have left something else inside that he shouldn't have, or something... But,

For the immediate pain:
Aloe vera gel is GREAT for helping tissue repair & pain relief.
Colostrum has reportedly helped people heal faster,
& without pain medicine.
MSM aids tissue repair, plus effectively takes down swelling, & thus eases pain.
Valerian, & White Willow Bark ,are each taken for pain.
White Willow Bark is also anti-inflammatory, & whole WWB is much safer than aspirin!
Stop eating red meats, as they contain something that exascerbates pain.
You might try using a hot-water bottle, if it helps.
EFT --founded by Gary Craig-- is highly controversial, but effective, often obtains both quick & long-lasting results, is easy to learn how to use, & you can hire a coach to help you.

Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for Dr.s to make mistakes.*

As mother of two both delivered by c-section, the pain you are experiencing is abnormal. Go to a new physician! Both of mines my scars are on my panty line I guess for lack of better descriptive word. My first was six years ago and my second was two years ago. With my second I experienced a stitch (they were the dissolving stitches) opening however it was small, and when i saw it I went to my doctor. After keeping it clean and dry it was healed in no time. In no instance have I had unbearable pain. Yes there will be pain but not to debilitate you. You have been through enough at the hands of this doctor and need to go else where. If you not sure, see a midwife and have her examine you and recommend a doctor and get yourself a lawyer.
