" Well it started last November. At first I felt like I had to go to the bathroom a lot. Then sharp pains deep in the urethra. At the base of the penis, right above the testicles. It always hurts but is at its worst right after I urinate. So basicaly its this really annoying sharp pain I deal with day in and day out. Sometimes I feel like I have to urinate often. The stream is weak and dribles toward the end which it never used to do. I have taken two one month course's of cipro. I month of levaquin, and the the last one was a 6 week dose of cipro. No help at all from anything. Have had all the test's done with everything coming back normal. I have been doing a lot of reasearch on this and it seems like everyone says the same stuff and nobody is getting cured. That is what scares me the most that I will have to live with this for the rest of my life. I was worried at first passing this on to others but it seems like that is not the case but is weird considering I starting having these symptoms after unprotected sex. Worst decison of my life and I am paying for it dearley. I feel like I am losing hope and dont know what to do. Sorry to rammble on for so long like that. Your thoughts? How about you? "
