I am in pain.

I had a sexual encounter with a sex worked I think I was exposed to an STD. I went to the doctor a few days later complaining of a sensitive penis "tip"/ pressure and irritation after I urinated. He prescribed some antibiotics and said it was most likely just anxiety. 2 weeks later have less of a sensation at the tip of my penis, but my groins are swollen, and my lower abdomen has be aching as well as my lower back/ kidney area, the tip of my penis is only sensitive when i rub it purposefully against my shorts. The glands and aching are making me feel like an old man. also i feel like my legs are very stiff and need to be stretched a lot. More details, never and confirmed discharge, although it felt like it, and we wore a condom but i wasn't that erect, Why am I in such pain? Damn.

It was a good thing you used a condom. I agree with your doctor that most of your symptoms are due to anxiety (we've all been there).  The antibiotics you took (if you took the right ones) would have eliminated all of the bacterial STDs.  I'd wait 3 months and get a full-panel STD test just to be sure.

if you wore a condom, whether you were erect or not, you can be confident that your pain is not from your encounter. this is obviously something else. possibly a UTI. i suggest you go back to your doctor!!!
