so sore, can't have sex!

Hi all, wonder if anyone has anything similar....I am 56, was on HRT for 2 years and stopped about a year ago. We haven't really been having sex the past year for various reasons on top of reasons! However when we did try about 6 months ago, I yelped as just inside my vagina was really sore. We had to stop. Even lube made no difference. Life got in the way after that so I kind of forgot about it. Then yesterday we tried again, same issue, I cant even insert a vibrator covered in lube. So I did a self exam best I could with a mirror and just inside on the right hand said the skin looks red and sore. I cant get a doc appt for a fortnight so wanted to ask on here ....I am thinking could be vaginal atrophy (awful word!) but wondered if that can affect just a bit of the vaginal wall, or would it be over all of it? Bloomin lady bits.....sigh......... :)
