vaginal pain

Recently I've been diagnosed with BV.  I have had BV in the past but this time seems much worse.  I've been on Flagyl for 3 days now and have not seen any relief.  My symptoms include burning which is worse after I urinate, stinging when I sit or have anything touch my vaginal area and slight itching.  Any ideas on if the diagnosis of BV seems correct or has anyone else had symptoms this severe with bv?

I too was diagnosed with BV only to find out it wasn't BV.  Was on the flagyl with no relief.  Doctor didn't know what it was so kept feeding me antibiotics, which kept drying me out.  

What happened was 2 months ago after having sex in the shower (no lubrication) it appears as if a lot of friction happened at the opening to my V and I keep getting a burning sensation the day after I have sex.  I started using lubrication, but seems to still happen.  I'm not sure if the friction tears have never fully healed or what, but I've waited 1.5 weeks to have sex again after I thought I was okay (this is straining my relationship), and it still starts burning the day after sex.  Alot worse during my period as the discharge is constantly in that area creating more burning.

Note - I have been tested for everything under the sun, including herpes 2.  Negative to everything.
