Help needed- childbirth injury!

So, I had a baby 2 years ago. Had 3rd degree tear and to put it simply things have never been the same since. Have been enduring pain around the anus (feels itchy, sore) and have a tugging sensation whenever I change from sitting to standing up which I think results from being sewn up too tight internally.

Have seen various gps who have prescribed creams which dont help! I feel no-one is taking me seriously and I cant go on like this. Have been searching the internet and see there is a birth injury centre at a clinic in UCL hospital london. Can I demand my gp refers me there, or is there somewhere else I can go? Any help welcome...

I don't now (which doesn't really help, sorry) but why don't you give the Birth Centre a ring direct and ask what's the procedure.
Personally I would demand a referral to the Gyny at the hospital. Do you have a female GP?
