[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a second degree tear but also tore my levator ani (deep pelvic floor muscles) and had internal sidewall tears. It hurt for about three years, even with pelvic floor PT, though it slowly improved over time. And I still get flare ups. That’s the honest answer. Please see a pelvic PT when you can. Also second the donut. I used mine for the first year. Vaginal steaming also helped reduce my pain and epsom salt beths.[/quote] Thirding the donut and just note that the Boppy nursing pillow makes for a fine donut in a pinch. I was over my third degree tear in two weeks but I truly made myself slow down and focus on healing (helped it was the first child). [/quote]
