My quick story:

 1 week of onset of pain.  Symptoms mainly severe burning in
"left side" of head of penis.  Not related to uriniation.  Just
a constant burn.  I got to Emergency Room, they give me shot
in butt of antibiotics, and 4 pills.  Pain disappears after 1 days,
but starts to come back after 2 days.

 I go to uro, he gives me Cipro for 2 weeks.  It starts working
after 1 week, pain almost gone, then pain returns on the last day.
He switches me to Doxycycline.   I take for 4 days, and pain then
becomes severe.

 I go to a different uro.  He diagnosis me with prostatitis, and
stops the doxcyclcline.  He wants to wait 4 days and drain my prostate
to check for bacteria.  I wait 2 days, and get in excruciating
pain.   I get on pain killers ( which is all that is keeping me
going - can't work though...), and he has me do a cat scan because
"prostatits shouldn't cause this much pain ".

 Yesterday, the results of cat scan show nothing unusual.  He
pushes on my prostrate , not enough to come out of my urethra, and
has me pee in a cup to get a sample to check for bacteria. ( not
sure he did it right ).  

 I can tell he's close to throwing his arms up.  He says if the
culture is negative the only thing left is to use a scope through
my urethra.  Otherwise, he says he'd send me to a "pain" guy.

 I'm presently incapacitated.  I cannot work.   This level of pain
has been happening for 4 days now.
 Remember total onset of this problem has been about a month, with
about 2.5 weeks of antibiotics..

 Any opinions are appreciated.

 My thoughts:

1 - could this just be recurring urethritis, and cipro nearly knocked it
out and i just needed another week, and no change to doxycycline?  ( I'm
wanting to see cultures before i take another antibiotic though...is what
i'm thinking...)
2 - I'm leaning to run out to Tuscon for the Polacheck treatment.

Thanks,
Gary
