My story, am i crazy?

[Joseph Parziale]

Hello Everyone

 I have been dealing with what i believe to be prostatitis for over 4 years now and it has slowly taken over my life and is bringing me to the point of insanity

I have been to the urologist and have had all kinds of tests done but everything is normal and they look at me like i'm making all this up

DRE ( doc said prostate was a little inflamed)

Some ultrasound through my rectum

Urine tests

 I have  tried changing my diet thinking i was suffering from IC, but i believe now i have narrowed it down to prostatitis as thats the central location of my pain.

My symptoms are

Perineum tightness and pain numbness

Sore to sit down

Considerabley worse after bowel movement

Weaker erections, and sometimes painful or non enjoyable ejaculation

Tender feeling when i press right  below my testicles, towards the prostate

weak urine stream, takes forever to pee sometimes

Random pains throughout my penis and testicles

I am so confused as to whats happening to me. One thing i do notice is that my symptoms tend to get their worst after anal sex without protection, i'm wondering if thats whats causing all this. Also stress seems to have an effect.

Is it possible for the urine tests to be normal but still have a bacterial infection?

Another coincidence i noticed was i had to take antibiotics for 2 weeks for something else and the symptoms if i remember correctly went away.

Am i crazy? Does this sound familiar to anyone else on here. What should i do?

I have recently tried self prostate massage which seemed to help a little but then i read if its bacterial that can make it worse

I forgot to mention i am only 22 years old, so since age 18 i have been dealing with these symptoms.

I have a known history of anxiety as well
