Body 4 mos PP

Tagged this as NSFW but not sure if it counts. Im 4 mos pp and cant use even a light tampon because of the pain (i obviously cant be intimate in that way either) I did have to be stitched after birth most likely due to the extremely fast 4 minute active labor. Do you think its possible I have a "husband stitch" my doctor is very progressive woman and my husband wouldnt even think of doing that (also wasnt ever alone with my doctor to request this). Or is this maybe normal postpartum? My other mom friends said that after their appointment they resumed activity comfortably.
