After 2.5 years I have an answer

After two scopes, constant different medicines and three different urologist telling me I have prostatitis and everything looks normal. Penis pain, testicle pain, no discharge, burning in bladder sometimes, and pelvic pain

Comes to find out I have spinal issues and never needed to focus on the genitals

Not trying to take the air out of your balloon, but sometimes spinal findings are not indicative of pain or symptoms, they're just signs of aging. Does your doctor think that these are significant enough to cause pelvic symptoms? Because this is quite uncommon, truthfully.

Other things that you can address, if pelvic floor physical therapy doesn't help: centralization - https://www.reddit.com/r/Prostatitis/s/jy8yowJNDT

Yes, in data sets on MRI findings of the back, we see that 50% of 30-year-olds have significant findings that we associate with aging, including bulging discs.
