Post partum pain

Abbigail
I had to be cut during delivery 4 days ago and I swear I've never been in more pain than today. It's like when I sit down I feel like I am ripping my stitches out. My nurse said it's perfectly normal due to swelling but hurts so bad. I'm about to take a shower to see if that helps. So far I've tried the hospital spray, and ice packs. And they don't help. What are you ladies using?
