    I've been icing like crazy but have no other suggestions. I know how you feel! Hopefully it's a quick recovery but I have no idea what more we can do but wait.

    You poor thing! Sounds like you are doing everything right. I second the ice and maybe take an Advil? The main thing is patience and trying not to do too much. Hang in there!
    I hope to create a real siggy but first I need some sleep!

    Maybe try some ice packs and Tylenol?

    Sorry to say but time is really what you need. It's only been two days, you're going to be sore. Beyond what youre already doing I found using the peri bottle while peeing helped keep the pee from irritating things more. And just taking it easy. Hope you feel better soon!

    FTM here with an inside baby.  I was wondering, don't they give you pain medicine when you go home?  I just assumed so.

    My baby is about 17 days old now and I had a third degree tear. I was on here around day 2-3 asking for help too and I very clearly remember HOW much it hurts. 

    First of all, I am here to say this is going to get better. I am currently sitting at my kitchen table and discussing with my husband how I'm 4 hours late on my Advil and actually feel fine. Even a week ago, I was not sitting at any tables and I was definitely not forgetting my Advil! I also took 2 short walks with the baby over the weekend, again I was at a point where walking to the bathroom was a struggle. 

    A couple of things I think helped me: 
    - I iced with ice diapers. My husband cut open newborn diapers and put ice in them and then I put them on like a pad. 
    - Did you get a sitz bath at the hospital? Those were annoying but also good for healing, I put epsom salt in mine. 

    I was sitting on a boppy but my nurse told me that can stretch things out so it might not be the best plan, so instead I just sit on regular pillows. I actually don't even need a pillow anymore now unless it's a super hard surface. 

    Good luck! I hope it gets better FAST. I started to see major improvement around day 10!

    Thanks for the clarification, ladies. I guess I assumed with the painful recovery there were be rx meds...just like after most medical procedures I've had. Obviously pregnancy/delivery is a whole new ballgame!
