Swollen butt after birth

Had a natural birth 5 days ago with stitches. My butt (near the anus) feels so swollen after birth. It's so painful that I can't even sit and walk properly. When will it get better? This is so horrible that I'm just crying everyday :(

Please take your painkillers round the clock so that you’re not suffering. The swelling will definitely be there. Gets better after 2-3 weeks if you don’t strain and aggravate it. Take care, dear... this is temporary, okay?

Thank you! Feels better knowing that I'm not alone in this!
