Negative for gonorrhea and chlymidia but still have pain in urethra

After having unprotected oral and vaginal sex with a girl about two months ago, I developed a slight burning feeling near the tip of my penis. It didn't feel worse during urination and there has been no discharge. The symptoms came on a week or two after the encounter from what I recall. I went to the doctor and was tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea. The tests were negative but I was given a shot of rocephin and a prescription for 1000mg of Zithromax before the results came back.

The pain in my urethra symptoms went away within 5-7 days but came back by day 13-14. I also developed pain in my hands and feet for a week or two after this treatment and a week or so of night sweats. The pain was mostly in my feet and was located in my arches and toe knuckles. Also a little in my fingers. I also had a burning sensation on the skin of my face and some on my legs and chest for that same week or so. I don't know if this was related to the drugs, stress, or the initial problem. All of these other symptoms have subsequently gone away.

Next, I went to my family doctor clinic and was tested again for chlamydia and gonorrhea. While waiting for that result I was given 100mg of doxycycline 2 times per day for 10 days. Again the tests were negative.  I finished this medication about 4 days ago. The stinging in my penis mostly went away by day 6 of this medication but after finishing it the pain has started to creep back in. Still no discharge. And no other aches or pains this time. Just a mild discomfort in the end of my urethra and maybe now it stays a little more irritated for a few minutes after urinating.

I'm now wondering if this is another bacteria that is less commonly known as an STD? Or maybe a yeast? I don't know what to do next. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone here?

I went through the whole store almost same as you did. Do you have any stomach problems after all the antibiotic use? I'm feeling very unwell since the use of all these antibiotics, It's bee 6 months now since my last ab course, I have stomache pain, loin pain, chest pain, I don't even know if they're all related. How long ago did you stop your medications? how does your stomache/body feel?

Guys,

I had exactly same symptoms, and been on the various antibiotics (metronidazole, azithromycin, doxycycline, SMZ/TMP, ) and AZO for 2 months, that was crazy and no help at all. Finally I read a lot, and found kind of solution. What I understood we have combination of STI with light kind of balanoposthitis.  Byt because majority of us used to have antibiotics against number of STI, so remain symptoms of balonoposthitis causes those constant pain. So, on medication side finally  I used to have 1 tablet of ciprofloxacin twice per day for 7 days, and 4 times per day hydroco/apap – that for pain relief. On natural medication I got rosehip oil 100% natural (easy available online).  You can also have Sea Buckthorn Oil. But I used only rosehip oil, apply to penis couple drops to spread oil on surface and testicles.  On diet part – try to avoid alcohol (at least for couple weeks), and reduce sugar, coffee (as those could influence efficiency of antibiotic you using). Anyway, after couple days I feel 99.9% better, and almost no residual symptoms remains. Hope that will help you guys too.

I am a single guy and have protected sex with a lot prostitutes.  Some times,  I get the burning from some of this women even with protection   I tried a experiment with my doctors who is aware sexual partners.  I like shagging this one girl a lot and am upfront with my doctor about the prostitute.  The std tests were negative but I was given a shot of 250 rocephin and a prescription of Zithromax which killed the pain with in 24 hours.  I follow up by drinking a ton of water kefir or kombucha to replenish the probiotics in my system so no yeast infection form antibiotics. That causes pain too.
No pain for two week while traveling for fun and hooked up with the same prostitute at home when I got back. ****,  I got the burning again.  
Went back to my doctor and got the shot of rocephin and generic Zithromax and gone in 24 hr.  
Not see her anymore.  Oh be careful with unprotected oral sex as well. That will get you as well.

Not sure if you thought of this:  Most of what you think is sugar - especially in soda - is actually CORN SYRUP - and corn allergy is SO COMMON - it is the 1st food allergen an allergy specialist (usually Ear, nose, throat (ENT) - dr.) will test for. Itchy is a very common symtom of allergy - for the longest time my ears itched -(inside - not the lobes) - and allergist said of course - its 'cuz your eating and breathing what you're allergic too. I went on allergy shots, stopped eating SOY and CORN and a few other items and ears stopped itching. When I am due for a shot - or when i eat too much of those things - BOOM - itchy comes right back! It could simply be allergy reaction. See an allergist! and maybe in mean time try Claritin or one of ther non-drowsy allergy meds and see what happens after a couple days. Then while on the claritin (there are some allergy meds that neutralize more than just histameans btw) - so while on an allergy med that does work or help - then have a coke and see what happens. And if the inside of your ear can itch - you can bet your butt so can your urethra! Also - watch out for too much vitamin D3
