i have also been treated with a 7 day antibiotic for an infection, whereas sex was painful. The pain came back, or i think that it probably never went away. Both my husband and i took the antibiotics to stop reinfection. I am still in pain, and have even a hard time inserting a tampon. i have been trying to get into the doctor, and hopefully will be able to get in next week, but in the meantime, any suggestions as to what this could be???
