So I feel like a truly big baby. I am now 1 week postpartum. I wanted honest opinions on everyone healing experience. I had only a 1 degree vaginal tear. Which obviously is not bad at all compares some worse degrees, let alone areas. my question is however, how long did it take to feel like you have healed from the swollen, pressured, bruised feeling down there? What about burning pain evrytime you peed? It's not a UTI, I've confirmed with urine culture and all. it's like it burns every time the pee touches the area trying to heal maybe. Also how about constipation. I have yet to have a true good bowel movement with out some assistance if you will to help pass the very hard stool. nothing seems to be working. I've done docusate sodium, docusate/ senokat combo, even suppository. Any other suggestions and experiences welcomed. thanks
