I had a bad third degree, five years ago.

I was lucky in that it healed very well and didn't give me too much pain, BUT I still sometimes feel a bit tender if pressure goes in the wrong place. So after 8 months, it could well still be a bit sensitive I reckon.

Maybe you need to treat yourself to some really pretty french knickers. Keep the pressure off for a bit longer
