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 :(

You will get better, I had a third degree and felt the same for the 1st week. Eat the painkillers and get the sofy cooling sanitary pads, it works. If it is unbearable, use more than 1 maternity pad to get that extra cushioning.
