Hi:) IMO ur bofriend was a lil too rough with u. U should always have a tube of lubrication handy. It helps:) When, if, and how it heals depends on the severity of the tear. First degree tears are not bad at all. They often don't require stitches and will heal naturally. Second degree tears are deeper into the tissues, require a few stitches, and then heal well afterward. Third degree tears involve the rectal muscles, and fourth degree tears enter into the rectum. These tears require more time and stitches to repair. I would suggest making an appt if u are indeed in that much pain. For relief now u can use ibuprofen. Doctors usually recommend ibuprofen for any pain following stitches. Sitting in a warm bath that only covers hips and buttocks can sometimes help. Ice wrapped in a cloth or chilled witch hazel pads applied to the area are sometimes used to dull the pain. I do hope u get relief ASAP. Good luck!
