Yep. Hurts, itches, acts like a bad allergic reaction. When I went into the doctor, she wasn't sure that I had herpes because I didn't react to the pain of having my sores swabbed for the test ('bounce of the ceiling' was actual words that she used); turns out she was wrong.
The pain with urinating is because your getting urine in an open sore - squatting in the bathtub makes it less likely that you'll get urine on the sores plus you can splash cool water on yourself when you're done.
You really do need to be tested. The testing is best done while you have an open sore. If you have herpes, you need to know so that you don't unknowingly pass it to someone else.
