vaginal pain and burning after ovarian cystectomy

I'm 32 and we are trying to have a baby. 2015 I had an ectopic pregnancy and I had a laparoscopy but were able to keep the tube. After surgery I had a very bad uti - I could barely stand straight from the pain. I got treated with antibiotics which helped pretty quick. Not long thereafter I started with fertility meds (Clomid). We were intimate 6 weeks after surgery and I had intense vaginal burning afterwards and I could also barely sit. I though maybe yeast infection so my Dr gave me pills toinsert vaginally which helped for a while. After the 2nd month of fertility meds the Dr said that there was a cyst but I should carry on with the fertility meds. That 3rd month I had mid cycle spotting, it hurt to have sex and the vaginal pain was really bad and I couldn't sleep at night. I saw a different Dr who was a specialist gynaecologist and female. She said the cyst was large and recommended surgery because she could check if my tubes were open too. After removing the cyst the pathologist said that it was a MUCINOUS CYSTEDENOMA which wasn't a simple cyst but something that could turn to cancer if left. After removal I had extremely bad pain. I couldn't focus or sleep or do anything for that matter. 6 weeks later the CYST was back and I had to go for another surgery. I was told that I might have to lose the ovary but they were able to save it. After the surgery the pain remained. It's not really as bad as it was but its stressing me out.

The pain is mostly on the left side (same side of surgery). It feels like burning in the vaginal wall/canal. When I lie down it moves to  my left buttock and feels like a numbness. Sometimes it burns a bit when I pee. It hurts in my vagina after I have a bowel movement. The pain is worse in the morning's when my bladder is full. It doesn't hurt when I have sex so I think the pain is deeper inside. I've used canesten vaginal cream but it burns like he'll on the left side from the cream. Could this just be nerves healing (its 6 months since last surgery) ?

Other things that I've researched:

Yeast infection - but its only on one side and no discharge. Also
feels deep inside and no itching.

Vulvodynia - Feels deep inside and not really pain on the actual genitalia plus this doesn't name numbness as a symptom.

Interstitial Cystitis - don't really have flare ups that's isolated. Pain is pretty consistent and worse when lying down. ......

Pudendal Neuralgia - I can sit without having pain.

Endometriosis - pain is not provoked by menstruation and don't have painful menstruation however I do have painful ovulation
