Internal vagina pain after penetration - clear swabs - what is this?

Hi all

I have a weird scenario and would appreciate any guidance.

6 months ago was the first time ive had any vaginal issues (ive had heaps of protected sex prior to this for 2 years - always protected and NEVER any problems). i had this exact deep throbby achey vaginal pain after using an unsafe item (this little skincare bottle) for internal masturbation. it was unclean, obviously an unsafe material and the pain started ONLY atfer doing it on back to back days. the smell was horrific and there was heaps of discharge. After this occasion, i did 4 swabs over the next 2 months with various doctors. clear of STDs, BV, thrush, you name it. Every time. So this throbbing ache pain and smell continued for week and luckily the doctor said metronidazole was worth a try despite the swab not showing BV so i took that and it helped the pain disappear probably 90%.

After that i put in a canesten pessary to prevent yeast and my vagina swelled up again. So it took about 2 weeks after that to stop hurting - doctors suggested i stop inserting anything at all and let it heal.

The next time i had sex (about 2 weeks after my pain completely disappeared- prob mid july), i had a bit of an ache but that went away after a week -no smell or anything - i assume it was sensitive. i went to two gynaecologists who said everything looks fine so they have NO idea what it was.

Fast forward to October - hadnt inserted anything since july. I had protected sex - i was completely fine during and after and figured i was cured!!!

Late nov/early december (now) i figured id be safe masturbating with a clean toy covered by a condom. So over the last 2.5-3 weeks i masturbated internally using a sex toy/vibrator (not overly large, cleaned it prior, made from non-porous safe material) and covered it with a condom. I masturbated exact way 2 times but both times were separated by like a week and i was totally fine both times.

So that brings us back to today. 7 days ago last saturday i masturbated using the above approach. After doing so, I was fine - no pain or anything. I repeated the very next day (the sunday), made sure to clean it and , used a fresh condom. The condom was non-latex and i've used that brand previously and was fine so allergies wouldnt make sense.

Less than 2 hours after the sunday session, i began feeling a deep ache in my vagina, like INSIDE no pain on the outside. it was throbbing and achey. The EXACT pain i felt in june. This has continued for 6 days now non stop. No weird discharge and a slighttttt smell unlike last time.

Anyone have any idea WTF is going on? I've only had sex twice since that initial june incident. the first time in july it was a bit sore during and after but figured its cause the vagina needed time to heal. the one time in october i was 100% all good. these were with the same person btw and always protected. the two internal masturbation times in late nov/early dec using a condom - all good. but suddenly after last sunday im not good anymore. am now terrified im going to have PAIN after any penetrative experience with a man - protected or otherwise and am panicking! thinking about re-doing the antibiotics again to get this pain to go away and load up on probiotics but happy to hear thoughts or opinions.

Thanks!
