Im still experiencing pain 9 weeks PP and was wondering if this is normal or whether I should pester the GP about it?
I had a 2nd degree tear and labial tears on both sides which were stitched up by a doctor. At the time the midwife didn't feel confident stitching me up because of the complexity of the tears (despite having 15 years experience!) So I am a little worried that maybe things haven't been stitched up in the right places?
I would liken the pain to burning/aching/bruising, with the occasional sharp needle prick type pain more internally near the perineum. The whole area hurts constantly, more so if I am moving or standing/sitting for long periods. The only time it doesnt hurt is when I'm lying down.
Has any one else ever experienced this? I can't find anything online to suggest what might be causing it or what I could do to ease the discomfort. I hate having to go to the doctors but am wondering whether I should just suck it up and go at this stage!
