Hi i suffer from chronic yeast infection due to me taking birth control. i get monistat but it's never effective because i'm so sore?

Resistant yeast?: Birth control pills (or any contraceptive) do not cause yeast infection. All yeast infections, chronic or otherwise, can be treated or at least controlled (with no symptoms) with proper treatment. Some yeasts are resistant to miconazole (Monistat); you might need a different treatment. Or perhaps the diagnosis is wrong. Keep working with your doctor or get second opinion, e.g from a dermatologist.
