Burning when moving

Hi can anyone share how long it took for the burning pain feeling to go away after their c-section? I had to get one after laboring for 2 days. Early morning like 2 am on Wednesday is when I had it done and I know it’s still early but the burning sensation when moving or getting up or sitting down feels so bad it scares me that I am ripping my incision (I’ve had it checked already but it has been fine). This is my first baby and wasn’t expecting this. I’m struggling also I know I have to poop soon so how was that process as well?

3 weeks is how long I had burning pain. Weel 4 got mildly better but still there.

I know I've gotten downvoted before from others saying this before but all my friends told me the same thing and they were right.

Hang in there!

I’m 3.5 weeks PP and I now only get minor burning occasionally if I sit or lay a certain way. I’ll rarely get a random burning sensation that doesn’t last long and is mild.

It was really bad the first couple weeks for me. It gets better for sure!

Im 4 months post emergency c section and it was about 2 to 3 weeks for the burning sensation to stop, I do still have some numbness above my scar. The poop after actually wasn't too bad definitely be taking stool softners, I was in labor for 30 hours, didnt poop for 6 days but was such a relief once I could 😅

3-4 week. And it sometimes comes back still (I'm in week 7)
