I had a sore hoohaa for about 4 weeks. Take some more voltarin for a few more days if it gives you relief. I think it's not recommended for long term ongoing use in b/f mothers but do check with the chemist JIC
The pain wasn't so much in the stitches site but just a general all over aching that was worse if I stood for too long like qing at Kmart. I nearly had to dump stuff and walk out when Caleb was 2 weeks old. It was agonising just standing there!
