*Looking for Insight*

Its been about 4 days since my c section and yesterday I started getting this excruciating pain just above and to the side of my incision line. It feels like a shard of glass or burning needle being stabbed into me. I am keeping up with my pain medication however it doesn't even touch the jolt of blinding pain that comes from this spot. It's so sharp and sudden that when I move a certain way I cry out in pain and then, well- just cry.

I've researched it a bit and it doesn't seem like I'm the only one having this issue. One person in a forum I read said that her doctor told her that that's where a knot for one of the internal structures is and it's probably been tied too tightly & that the body is reacting to it. That after 2-3 weeks the knot should be absorbed and the pain will go away.

I guess I'm just looking for any insight on how to relieve the pain from other mamas who have dealt with this. I won't be able to do with 2-3 weeks of this pain. I have been couch bound all day, the only time I've gotten up is to use the bathroom and even then I can't stand up all the way.

Thanks ladies!
