Patient's question:
I had a C-section 7 years ago. In January 2019, I had surgery for endometriosis on my C-section scar, and it has been two months now. However, recently, I've been experiencing severe lower back pain. It hurts when I sit or lie down, but it doesn't hurt when I stand or take a nap. The area where the pain is located is where the doctor injected anesthesia during my C-section. My arm also hurts. Why is this happening?Doctor's answer:
When performing a cesarean section with spinal anesthesia, there is a possibility of local damage to the supraspinous ligament and tendons. In this case, patients do not need to be overly concerned, as recovery is usually gradual and complete. If the recovery is not significant, acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy can be implemented to address the issue. Pay attention to rest. Cesarean section conditions are serious, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, focus on self-care training, proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
