Question: Penis pain, urine retention, side pain....

Sorry if this is long. I'll do my best to keep it short.
Around Mid april I'd occasioanlly feel a burning sensation in my penis. Soon this was accompanied by an odd feeling in my bladder. Not really a pain, perhaps a pressure. Around the 20th I'd have these feelings and feel as if I needed to urinate. I would only go in small amounts, so feel the need to urinate frequently. Perhaps a few hours later I would be able to urinate in healthy amounts again. The next couple days there was no problems. Then on a sunday night they came back with a force. The burning, the bladder feeling which turned into pain. I was unable to urinate and would only manage barely a dribble, which also felt like razor blades to pass. The dribble I could manage then turned pink, then from that time on every dribble I passed was accompanied by one or two blood clots.
I went to the hospital. Was put into a room, they checked my vitals. After talking with me took blood, gave me a few pills and took the dribble of urine I could manage to pass. Eventually from the pressure I was cathatorized. After being cathatorized nothing came out. She sought the DR and he did something manually and I guess it dislodged blood clots which were blocking me up. I had a bag or two of water hooked up and they flushed me out. I was sent home in the morning with a 7 day prescription of Biaxcin, bioxin... something like that, 4 pills a day, at 500mg. Days after I would still have the issue of only managing to pass small amounts of urine frequently. I need to note that at no time except the one night with the blood clots did I feel any pain while urinating.
I saw a urologist and he came to the conclusion I probably gave myself a serious UTI by having unprotected se and not urinating afterwards.
About mid last week symptioms came back. Felt like I needed to urinate, could only pass small amounts which I passed frequently. Later on I'd be able to pass normal amounts. I'd get sudden little pains in my penis and bladder, not a burning this time but little pains. So I got to the hospital thinking I'm getting another UTI. My urine came back clean. He gave me an ultrasound and my bladder had almost nothing in it yet I felt a pressure. He told me to make an appointment with the urologist and put my on a 14 day trial of ciprofloxacin, 2 pills a day at 500mg. He also checked my prostate.
Juring this last episode, and days prior to the urine problems coming back I'd started getting a little pain on my left side, not in the back but right in the love handle. Later the night of its first appearance I felt it in my right side. And have periodically over the past week. Not often. Not sevear.
I need to note I've been checked for STD's, blood and the penis swab. I also need to note that I'd been drinking alcohol over the weekend, everyday. But that then, and juring the last spell when I drank alcohol I didnt feel any pains and I never had any issues urinating, I'd also urinate to what I'd think would be a bladder full at those times. I started the Antibiotic last last week and drank alcohol on friday night and saturday night, quite a bit. And yesturday (monday) I had the worst pain as of yet, and the most retention. Yet today the pain feels better.
I'm 24, male, had my gallbladder taken out about a year ago. Have Diverticulosis and a fatty liver. There is a history or kidney and bladder problems on My mothers side.

I'm sorry I forgot to not that jusring this spell I feel like a stinging in my urithra. Sort of like I did for the few days after they pulled the cathator a month prior. Its not often.
And something else I noticed was the next 3-4 days after they pulled that cathator out I felt like a tickle. I little tingly from what seemed like my anus on the inside up into my penis. I've felt this one or twice this time.

I'm sorry for making this longer but I've had no feedback and stuffs happend. Since taking the cipro... Antibiotic my symptoms havent gotten much better. The penis pain is little more then a slight occasional sting which is good. And the bladder isnt really havin any pain but dose feel like its full. The side pain on the other hand has gotten worse. Last night I wasnt hardly able to urinate at all and I felt full. I went so often and would only manage a small amount but was determined to make it till the morning to go to the hospital. I went to bed around 4 for having to go so often. When I woke up in mid morning I could manage now to pass more, not much, maybe half a measuring cup.
I went today to the hospital thinking maybe its a kidney infection, they took urine. Clean, took blood to check my kindeys...clean. checked prostate again...all good. So I'm left in the dark.
