What Causes Pain Near The Cesarian Scar?
I'm having pain on the right hand side of my stomach, near an old cesarean scar, there is a painful lump and sometimes theres numbness down the inner right leg all the way down to my feet. The other day I coughed and the upper part of my body, near the rib cage just cramped up. Today I started getting light headed and nauseated.

YOU ARE POSSIBLY having a hernia in the scar site!
it could also be due to infection or a benign tumor there causing pressure effects!
USG evaluation of the region would help in this matter!
