Please help. Can't enjoy my newborn

I gave birth 11 days ago. And for the past 4 days my private area is sooooo uncomfortable and painful. I had a 2nd degree tear and the stitches are starting to dissolve. I'm fed up with the constant pain. I've got cream eases it a tiny bit and I'm forever taking painkillers. It also feels like the top area by the clit is sore and tender too. Has anyone else suffered from this?
