My bladder hurts for days after ejaculation, whether it's from sex or not. I have been tested for STDs and UTIs, and both tests came back negative. The pain is becoming unbearable and worsens each time. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have shingles and have been taking antiviral medication and Gabapentin 300mg tid with Motrin or Tramadol for three weeks. The shingles outbreak occurred on my left side, causing back pain, but now the back pain is gone, and my abdomen is swelling to the size of a grapefruit under my rib cage on the left side. The swelling feels like fluid inside a large mass and is extremely painful and uncomfortable. I saw a doctor who ordered an ultrasound. What could be causing this swelling, and is it related to shingles or the medications I'm taking?

What does this mean? It's from an xray and more tests are going to be done. Just would like a list of possible diagnoses so I can start educating myself. Subtle shattered perihilar reticular pulmonary marking without focal pneumonia, effusion, or pneumothorax. Subtle hyperinflation. Heart size normal. Osseous structures are grossly normal.

I'm taking Dilantin and Lexapro (generic). My Dilantin levels are elevated right now, and I feel like my Lexapro isn't working as it should be. Can the elevated Dilantin levels be the reason?
