Hello dear,

Some drug has side effect of painful erection.

But you are not taking such a drugs that causes painful erection.

But you should visit the nearby doctor to look for the cause of priapism or painful erection.

In fact some drugs prescribed like flexeril is painkiller and will not cause painful erection.
