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 :(

Hang in there! I witnessed my wife go through this pain as well. Some improvement only 2 weeks later took at least a good month or so to sit normally again.. Keep taking the pain killers as prescribed. It helped her immensely. She also sat leaning on one side (like mermaid style? If it helps visualise) and kept switching sides. Not easy but jiayou mummy!
