Post partum recovery

So I had my baby girl on the 2nd of September, and I had not too bad of a tear they said 1st degree for an 8lb 8oz 21 inch baby, but I have been soooo sooo sooo painfully sore down there. I use the peri bottle every time I go to the bathroom and I take hot showers which do help ease the pain I also plan on doing the Sitz baths. Anyways.. I feel like I’ve been in an abnormally extreme amount of pain, I can barely move/walk, hurts to sit comfortable. These pads rub against me and bother me idk. I feel like I’ve never seen anyone be in so much agony after. The nurses acted like I was overdramatic and crazy. (I’m home now) has anyone felt like this? Or did they do the stitches wrong maybe? Should I go to my OBYGYN soon? I have to go back in four weeks otherwise.
