Hi fella's, I come looking for some advice, not car related though. Its another medical health question, and I thought who better to ask... another male I thought.
So here goes... Have any of you guys suffered pain in the testes/balls?
I have been suffering pain/aching in my right testicle for 10 years now, and its driving me nuts... excuse the pun. I've had 3 ultrasounds during that time which have all come back normal. I have seen a urologist back in 2012 which was a waste of time, he said it could be Epididymitis, or its something I may have to live with as sometimes men get pain in the testes and we have no diagnosis to why.
I've had several courses of different antibiotics to treat Epidiymitis, which relieves the pain for a short while, but then the pain returns in a matter of days/weeks. The specialist did say they could operate and remove part/or all of the epididymis in severe case's, but he was not 100% sure this was the problem. He also said the operation could make the pain worst, that the removal of the epididymis doesn't always work.
Lets fast forward 5 years to today... The pain has got worst, its becoming unbearable. As soon as I sit down I am in agony, even certain jeans or trousers I wear will trigger the pain, I suppose that is due to the high-rise of the crutch area or inner seam of the jeans/trousers. I reckon soon I will need to wear a skirt, at least this will not aggravate the condition. lol
I went to the docs last week and said I've had enough, cut my blooming balls off.
The doc is now sending me for another ultrasound which is this Thursday, this time I am hoping they can find what is causing the pain. The pain is always in my right testicle, and will travel to my inner thigh and down my right leg to my foot, at times my foot is in sheer agony which effects my walking.
This will be my 4th ultrasound, so its time to bear-all again to the lovely LADY specialist, we are getting to know each other quite well.
So... have any of you fella's experienced something so crazy as this?
