What to do with painful bump on my cervix?

I experience pain when I use tampons and during intercourse. It always hurts in the same spot so I decided to feel around.
I could feel this tiny bump next to my cervix. I feel severe pain just running my fingers over it.
It's been there a few years now, I've gone to different low income doctors, and they tell me it's fine.
NO! It is NOT fine! Do you feel like someone is stabbing you with a knife in the cervix anytime you use a tampon or try to be intimate with your husband?! I don't understand why they just shrug it off as nothing and ignore my issues.

What am I supposed to do? I understand it is hard to understand and care about another person's pain, but there IS something wrong.

I've asked if they could use that thing I read about to magnify it-- nope.
Had a pap and had the doc even take a pic of the OS for me. Don't know if it was from her, but it was all red and I could see the spot they tell me isn't there. Yes, they have just begun to tell me they can't find the bump I'm talking about.

I'm about ready to stick a needle up there on my own to see if I can drain whatever that is by myself.
It's terrible when you have to do something like this by yourself.

I'm sorry you are having this pain!  And can't find answers.  I assume you've had a regular pap smear which is scraping of the cervix to check the cells there?  That's what they do to know if you have pre or full on cervical cancer.  Genital warts usually don't hurt so wouldn't suspect that.  The cervix can get inflamed and would imagine this hurts and it can do this because of allergy.  Have you tried different products of tampons? Thee is also something called cervical erosion.  It can cause pain.  It's caused by a variety of reasons from ph problems, to trauma, to too much estrogen production to chronic infection, etc.  It doesn't hurt in most women but when it does, they treat by caution with the cervix, sometimes laser surgery and sometimes cauterization.  BUT, they normally can detect it.  that your doctors are not finding anything when you are there is probably a GOOD sign.  Perhaps it is an inflamed cervix?  

Never give up asking and searching for answers.  I wish there was more I could do for you.
