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 :(

I had a second degree tear from delivery and wasn't able to walk properly for the first 2 weeks. I felt depressed when I was not able to lift my baby due to the weight for this period. It is sure get better, hang in there! Try limiting movements and ask for help
