Hi,
This might indicate a disturbance to blood flow there. Usually here, we expect penis to be erect and painful (priapism) rather than receding. Sometimes penis can recede hard when exposed to cold, but this should not cause pain. Kindly discuss with a surgeon / urologist for evaluation as this is painful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
