Testicular Pain
Hi guys, not exactly cancer related but I didn’t know where else to post for advice on this.. as it’s a testicular issue.. moderators please feel free to delete my post if this is not the right place to ask…
Long story short, after receiving oral sex about 6-8 weeks ago I woke up the next day with testicular pain, I’ve had epididymitis 3 times before so I knew that’s what it was (never had an std)
I took a week’s worth of doxycycline twice per day and the pain continued after that… a week later I then got a script from the doc for 2 weeks worth of doxycycline, and did that too, the pain continued. Important to note I was relieving myself every night during this time as I have a high sex drive and will wake up in the early hours of the morning if I don’t do this…
I went to the hospital about a week ago due to severe testicular pain, mostly in my left test and underneath/behind it, radiating down my leg. They did blood test, urine, and ultrasound and found no infection, no inflammation, nothing. They told me to “rest the area” and take pregabalin and other pain meds.
It has now been a week, with zero masterbation, an I feel the pain is worse, I’m having to take oxycodone just to sleep at night, and in the afternoons I’m struggling to walk due to the pain. I’m seeing a urologist next week, but for now I wonder what is wrong, have I caused chronic inflammation? (But none was seen on the ultrasound) or have I caused nerve damage by not resting the area while I had the epididymitis?
Will this go away on its own?? or will I need surgery etc, I’m already dealing with occipital neuralgia the last two years so I really can’t be dealing with another chronic health issue….
