4 yrs and still no one knows why I have the pain. Please Help!

Hi and Thank you for reading my post.

4 yrs ago I was in Sydney Australia and received an unprotected BJ. and then had protected sex. When I got back to my hotel room I started to feel a dull uncomfortable pain inside the base and root of my penis. When I returned back to my Naval ship the doctor gave me an antibiotic and IT WORKED :) YAY!  but then the pain came back :(  ever since then I have been given antibiotics making the pain go away but then it comes back after a few days.

I have had all of the STD tests a few times and went to a urologist with all of their tests and all came back negative.I am so tired of living with this. It is consuming my whole life. I am never comfortable with it. Especially at night or watching TV (its not as bad when I am at work or staying busy).

Know one knows what it is. Maybe I brought a new strain of an STD to Canada. I don't know :(

Thank you all,

I was told it was an STD when I first went and the second time as well and was given Steroids and then Doxycycline for 6 weeks. There is no STD or Lyme disease out there that needs that kind of treatment. Plus I am faithfully married for the last 12 years. I was told it might be post Vasectomy Sydrome which has no real diagnosis but the urologist finally gave up and classified it as orchalgia which is chronic pain.  Don't stop with the urologist get aggressive and start moving down the list of specialists. At the end if their is nothing wrong it will be classified as a Pain Syndrome and at least then you will have closure.

I have had progressive now chronic pain for the last 7 months. I have a rheumatologist appointment soon to see if it is auto immune related. I start PT today to work on my walking and pain. This is starting to become an issue that has no end and I feel like I'm going crazy. I have asked the docs if I can get a script for the cane and they push me around saying it's not there department The Neurologist I saw said he would just classify it as a Pain Syndrome and I needed to see the urologist again after they said they can do nothing more and the pain center not to mention more blood work again.  

Tests done: Leg ultrasound/NEG...Testicle ultrasound x3/NEG...Pelvic CT and MRI with/without contrast/NEG... Lombar and Thoracic MRI with/without contrast/NEG...Blood Test also NEG for Lyme/B12 deficiency/thiriod...Inguinal (R) Nerve Block "reduced pain a bit but came right back"

No it is not a STD, again STD's never show that soon. It takes at least 2 days as any bacteria needs to "grow" and take hold. Just like if someone sneezes on you hours later you dont have a cold it takes days for it to show.

"Especially at night or watching TV (its not as bad when I am at work or staying busy)."-When you have pain from a STD it is constant.

STD's don't come and go, no infection comes and goes.

STD's never show that soon, this is not going to be a STD. If I had to guess I would say anxiety.
