I am 51 yr old woman. Had a c section 18 yrs ago and my appendix removered prior to that. I have an uncomfortable sensation on the scar of the c section (which I never had before, toward right side and pretty low) and am a little achy in my right lower back (kidney area?). Any idea what this might be as a result of?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical Musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you had C-section 18 years ago, and you are 51, due to C-Section and aging factor there will be degenerative changes which leads to backache. In my clinical practice we find females with C-section and back pain. It is common as post delivery most females do not Strengthen the core and the lumbar spinal becomes weak.Also, they all respond well to physical therapy Post core stability and core strengthening exercises. I will recommend you to undergo Physical therapy and get your core stabilized to avoid any nerve impingement and recurrent back aches. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
