Post catheter pain

Im 9 days postpartum and my stitches are finally starting to feel better, but my urethra is still so so sore!

The nurses had 4 failed attempts to get my catheter in and ended up just inserting it and taking it out every half an hour just to empty my bladder.

It doesn’t hurt to pee or anything, just really sore.

Does this sound normal this many days later?
