"   Question  I had an emergency Caesarean section.  Seven weeks later I had to have my appendix removed.  I still seem to be getting a stitch-like pain off and on where I had my operation.  Is this normal eight months on? I also get a slight pain on the other side just to my right of my hip bone (where I did have a pain after my operation). Have I any thing to be worried about?    Answer I am sorry to hear of your emergency and hope that your child is prospering and developing normally!  Pain in the abdomen is something that needs the direct help of a doctor to sort out, so the first point is that it is very important that you see your doctor about the problem if you have not already done so.  One can&amp;#039;t make a medical diagnosis on the Internet.  Following operations within the abdomen itself, such as removal of the appendix, bands of scar tissue called adhesions form in around half of cases and may give rise to pain should they subsequently interfere with the workings of the bowel.  Why should your Caesarean section operation be the cause of recurrent pain in the abdomen for this length of time?  Following an operation it is possible during the healing process for the nerves that supply the skin with sensation to become involved within the scar tissue of the wound, causing the nerve to become trapped and intermittently irritated, leading to pain.  The nerve endings continue to grow for many months at a slow rate and therefore the clinical picture may change as a result.  It would be best to discuss your symptoms with your doctor, who would also be able to assess your hip pain, which can be referred from the lower back, related to your stomach wound or coming from the joint itself.
