I’m just leaving urology Mayo Clinic Rochester for the same pain you describe. Mine is now 21 months since the RP.
They think it is Lichen Sklerosus.
The treatment prescribbed for me is several weeks of intraurethral steroid ( clobetasol ) This diagnosis from cystoscopy and physical exam both urology and dermatology. I’m hopeful as I have been suffering for 21 months with no answers and lots of testing for typical uti type infections.
You may want to reach out to a specialist in urology because many urologists are not up on this and it is not so common a problem apparently.
I plan to update here after I get some time in on my treatments.
I wish you well.
Stay tuned.

I had the same symptoms after radical prostatectomy in September 2018.
It got worse with pain radiating to groin and into buttocks.
After 4 years without solutions I had to start hormone injections and pills to reduce PSA to zero.You know what that means.
Incredibly the pain in the penis and groin Disappeared.
Any experts out there who can explain it?
