Same as above comment! Also I'm 11 days pp and used an ice pack last night even though I haven't used one in about a week. I had a 2nd degree tear and still use tucks and a peri bottle. Plan on it for another few weeks. It helps! Take it easy. I know easier said than done. I noticed my pain was more intense if I had a "busy" day moving around.
i had a 3rd degree fear and this happened to me. i just went back to my trusty ice packs and restarted using witch hazels pads! 🩷 i hope you heal quickly! ☺️
Not sure if you used the peri bottle or the tucks but they were life savers for me and ice packs. I had a 2nd degree tear as well and anytime I felt I did a little damage I went right back to using those 3 things until it felt better again.
