Prostatitis? Won't go away need help!

Hi, I'm a 19 year old male. I was diagnosed with chlaymdia in July and given a single dose of Zithromax , a penicillin shot and pills for PID all the same day. Things seemed to get better but on the fifth day after treatment my problems completely changed , I woke up with a clear discharge instead of the yellowish one I had before . My life has been hell ever since. That night I started experiencing pain in my lower back and my left leg went numb and pain In my pelvic area , along with frequent urination, even feeling like I have to pee right after I just went. My joints started to ache and and when I would sit down i would feel sharp pains in my testicules and butt . I waited till the 7th day after treatment and went back for re-evaluation. They retested me and said I was now negative for chlaymdia but yet I was still in pain and felt discomfort in the tip of my penis along with all of the aches . They gave me penicillin and Zithromax just in case. It still didn't stop. In the time of treatment I didn't have any sexual relations whatsoever to prevent re-infection or infection someone else. Another week goes by and I'm still aching and experiencing discomfort and I noticed the inside of my penis was slightly red and narrowed making my urine stream smaller and harder to come out. I regretfully decided to masturbate and the next day was pure hell. Out of nowhere I was super fatigue and short of breath and aching like crazy. I had no idea what the heck could be wrong so I went to another doctor a week later. Again my urine was clean and doctor gave me Zithromax just in case and told me maybe I was imagining the pain. I regretfully decided to have protected sex with my girlfriend who I did not get the chlamydia from a week later, the next day I was again aching like crazy throughout my body, mainly lower back and fatigue and short of breath. I went to another doctor who tried her hardest but just couldn't figure out what could be causing the problems I suggested prostatits so she checked psa and it was normal , I was very scared so I got tested for HIV twice , my left testicle it noticeably larger than my right and feels weird and is sensitive . She gave me 10 days on Cipro to see if it improves , it seemed to calm down a little but did not stop so she suggested 10 days on doxy, which calmed down the aching a lot and the discomfort in my penis but it did not stop. She then referred me to a urologist, after I told him my story he immediately said prostatits and prescribed me more doxy for two weeks, without any examinations . It seemed to get better but after ejaculation it would all be back as if I'm not taking medicine at all. I have had nonstop sinus problems and I can't last long at all in bed. As soon as I start I finish and the aching begins all over again. I went back after two weeks and he prescribed a month more of doxy . I don't know what to do , I feel like crap everyday . I got a urine culture done and they said its normal. The doctor told me I have a slightly low white blood cell count and vitamin D which I don't think are causing this because I was perfectly fine until after treatment for chlaymdia. My girlfriend drains my prostate for me and she says there's some tough spots sometimes . That sometimes it all feels spongy and sometimes she feels knots or hard spots . When she presses on it , It makes me feel like I have to pee. After I ejaculate I notice the inside of my penis gets a little red and the whole narrows making my urine small. It feels closed but opens up a little when I pee . I'm getting an ultra sound of my testicles done tomorrow, I literally don't know what to do, the doctors have no clue and it's costing me a fortune to keep going and getting no results. I don't understand how my urine culture and sample can be completely clean but yet I have all of these problems. Now I'm having all kinds of health issues like high blood pressure, my hands and feet are cold . I didn't mention that I also was having fever and chills but that stopped after antibiotics except a few episodes of chills but I haven't had fever since. I'm taking doxy twice a day , with naproxen and I take saw palmetto and probiotics which I just started because I'm noticing some plaque getting on the bottom of my teeth . Any advice I can get will help ! I'm miserable and desperate !!

Few things:
Did you get a culture done of semen and expressed prostatic secretions (EPS)? You should seek both from your doctor/urologist. I have chronic bacterial prostatitis. My urine culture are consistently clear. However, both semen culture and EPS consistently yield heavy growth of E. coli.
90% of UTI is caused by E. coli. Hence, for some symtom relief (urethral) its worth trying dmannose. Pick them up in a health food store. E. coli's ability to adhere to urinary tract wall is via a dmannose binding molecule . Dmannose in the urine adheres to the E. coli cells stopping their adherence, and they get washed out when you urinate. Dmannose wont cure prostatitis, but can assist in easing syntims and stopping spread to bladder.
