WHY did you have a pap smear at 7 weeks post-partum?!!!!! Anyway, I had an episiotomy with my 1st and it was terrible. It took me about 6-8 months to feel somewhat normal again and my vagina was never the same (sorry if that is TMI). I too was so tight and sore and it just hurt to sit. With my 2nd, I had a small episiotomy and I never would have known. I felt so great that I left the hospital the next day instead of staying the 2 days. I really think that it had a lot to do with the doctor. Give it time, it's only been 7 weeks. It will get better.
