Swollen ligament after csection

Ligament pain after a c-section on one side is actually more common than people realise, a few mums I know mentioned it lasted anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, especially if they were up and about too soon or stood up too quickly. The tricky part is that all your ligaments tend to stay looser postpartum for a while, so it is easier to overdo it without realising, which can make one side flare up more than the other. My neighbour who had a c-section said her physio explained that even small things like twisting to pick something up or walking unevenly while babywearing can aggravate it and slow recovery down. Some mums found that taking it slower with movement and gentle support wear helped, while others said it lingered a bit longer when they pushed themselves, so it really does seem to vary from person to person. That said, since it has been a few weeks and is still bothering you, it is worth getting your doctor or a women's health physio to have a proper look, just to rule out anything else going on.
