Please help, is this herpes?

In late December I had a sexual encounter with a woman. Things seemed fine at first but a week later while applying lotion to my scrotum I felt a weird burning feeling. I have been using this moisturizer for years and have never felt this before. A few more weeks later I began to feel pain in my lower left back and left testicle. My left testicle seemed to feel as though It was being pulled down horribly. A couple of days later I realized that my right knee cap started to swell. So about two months after the first symptoms I have suffered from burning scrotum, pain in right testicle, swollen knee cap, and now small skin colored growths around the head of my penis (corona) So in around February I head into patient first to get tested for all STDs including herpes.All come back negative except HSV 1 but it was stated by the nurse that it was from cold sores when i was younger. I decided to just get treated for chlamydia. The pain in my testicle resided but later came back. It is now June 19th and I have still been  suffering. In between the time I have had no out breaks of any kind except for the seemingly irritated corona of my penis. The woman I slept with informed me of her having chlamydia but I was tested and treated for that twice! I was also prescribed Doxy from my urologist. I now constantly feel itching in my upper butt crack and crawling testicle feeling ALL THE TIME WITH NO BREAKOUT AND I CANT PEE PROPERLY! Its so hard for me to begin urination. I have some sort of urine retention and sometimes I urinate like 8 times a day with dribbling at the end Can anyone relate and help?? This is Hell pic added below

We don't look at pics, but the symptoms you describe sound like an inflamed prostate. Have you had a prostate exam? If you haven't, you should get that done. If your urologist didn't do that, you should get another one.
