Is this normal?

Kimmie

Ftm here. I am 4 weeks 3 days pp and am still in a lot of pain vaginally. I had a small tear that required 1 stitch. As far as i can see when I check my stitch has dissolved but the area is really red. There isnt a smell or puss or anything so I dont think its infected. But my vag is still so sore, progressively as the day goes by. And about 1/3 of the time when I pee it still burns and stings. That part is getting easier. It gets to the point where I can barely stand and when I try to sit its awful. Is this normal? I know they give you 6 weeks and granted im feeling better than day one pp obviously but I feel like I shouldnt be having these issues at this point. Maybe im a slow healer? Everyone ive talked to says that I shouldnt be in pain at this point unless ive had a big tear, episiotomy, or c-section. Im just worried theres something wrong. I know everyone will say call your ob ect but ive been seeing a popular midwife so its hard to get in to see her. Anyway if anyone can tell me how they healed, or if this is common ect id appreciate it. 😊
