Burning when I wee post childbirth - any advice?

I gave birth last Sunday. I was at home and didn't tear at all. Felt okay at the beginning of the week but I'm now experiencing an agonising burning sensation when I pee. Could I have developed cystitis? Does anyone know if this is common post birth? Am finding it very hard to move around as am in quite a lot of pain. My midwives looked at me on Friday and assured me that I don't have an infection and that was looking in good shape. So why does it hurt so much? Is this just to be expected a week after giving birtth, regardless of not tearing. Please let me know
