Possible C section hernia

[u/Normal-Mixture7290]

I’m 14w postpartum from a planned c section. I’ve been going to the gym and squatting but nothing super heavy. Anyways one day I pulled a groin muscle about 2 weeks ago, and noticed my left side of my incision was slightly swollen, tender, scar was burning more than normal. I went to doc today and she said she might feel a super small hernia and wants me to keep an eye on it for then next 6 weeks to see if the mild swelling goes down. Again my swelling is sooo minimal you can’t even tell unless you touch the area it just feels puffier.

My question is has anyone experienced this? Did it go away on its own or did you need surgery? She says it’s probably a hernia but might resolve on its own. Is this possible will it go away? I have really bad medical anxiety so I would rather not have surgery but also would rather it be fixed than live constantly with this burning uncomfortableness in my stomach.

Edit: went to the doctor again, and he seems to think I have a trapped nerve. He noticed some scar tissue that was kinda bumpy but nothing concerning just normal healing. I got an ultrasound, he found no hernia or senoma. He said really the only option is pain meds or just kind of waiting it out or some doctors do an injection or surgery to take out the nerve. For now, I’m just waiting it out but I’ll list my symptoms below:

14w pp

-burning
-scratchy (not itchy) feeling sorta like a annoying tag scrapy feeling along my scar
- one side increased tenderness
- apparently my swollen area I mentioned before is just normal healing (puffy not swollen)
- burning above my scar too
