I've had frequent and painful burning urination at the tip for a few months now and my doctors dont know why yet. I'm STI negative and my urine has been looked at by 2 doctors and a lab and it looks completely normal, no bacteria. Any ideas on what might be wrong? Im scheduled for a cystoscopy next month but til then i have no idea what's wrong with me.
Have you been checked for kidney stones?

I did an ultrasound recently that my specialist hasn't looked at yet cuz of a mix up. My primary care doctor said it's possible but very unlikely, i have no pain in my kidneys and nothing shows up in my urine, no stones or signs of kidney stones. Im in my 20s btw and I dont have the best diet in the world but not the worst and I drink plenty of water.
the water explains the frequency
on the pain, do you frequently eat buffalo wings and not wash your hands before going?
other options, prostatis? extremetly tight hip flexors?

No when i say frequent i mean at times i feel a strong urgency to go every 20mins and i only pee a little. It seems my bladder isn't emptying.

Sounds like an enlarged prostate.
Call Roto-Rooter.

This. Get a prostatic massage.
Surprised docs didn't suggest pyridum. Analgesic for bladder and ureter discomfort (burning, pain, etc.) Available OTC or by prescription. Your pee will turn bright yellow but you'll get relief!
Had two cystocopies in the spring for stones, one in which they left a two-foot fishing wire (catheter) up by willie for five days. Don't envy you.

They don't tend to come out as visible stones early on.

Probably a stone is blocking the flow. You're likely too young for an enlarged prostate.
diabetes? check your blood sugar... frequent urination, thirst, and some painful yeast is a symptom of a life threatening complication called dka (diabetic ketoacidosis) often seen at new-onset

No - as people are already saying, stones are not visible until the exit the body. You are describing classic kidney stone pain; have you had your ultrasound yet?
People who have never had stones think (wrongly) that they work like this: the kidney magically/instantaneously makes a stone, and then once that happens you pee it out and it really hurts.
In reality, your kidney may have made a stone that was sitting there for a long time (ultrasounds can see stones just waiting to wreck havoc on you). For whatever reason - usually physical or emotional stress of some kind - the stone is dislodged and then makes a painful journey from your kidney to your bladder. It can stay there for days or longer, and this is likely where you're at now.
Once you pass it, which may or may not be excruciating, depending on the size of the stone, you'll still be in pain for a day or two b/c of the internal scratches. A stone that you can pee out without much trouble can still be incredibly painful when it's in your bladder.
