There was either something that was going to happen even without the oral sex (possible physical origin) or it was brought on by the manner in which the oral sex was carried out - rough (possible psychological overlay) or both. the exact origin is a bit disconcerting from your story and your frustration is easy to understand.

Try at the nearest University hospital to find a vulvar specialist. there are also pelvic pain and vulvar/vaginal pain physical therapist who work with people to try and get them feeling better.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
