Mine hurt for a long time too. I found there was more pain for a shorter time with internal tears and less pain but for a longer time with the episiotomy. The majority of pain stopping probably happened around the 2-3 month mark but DTD hurt for years afterwards and had to be repaired so take it easy when the time comes.
However it doesn't hurt to have it looked at by a GP.
Mine is still not 100%. It's not bad enough for pain killers, but I still notice it. It was still quite bad at 4 weeks PP - I remember I had my MW have a look at it at my discharge visit as I was worried about what was going on down there! My episiotomy was big - they wouldn't tell me how many stitches, but MW said it seemed unnecessarily long (forceps delivery in theatre).
