Testicular Pain/ Scrotal Pain

[paininthenuts]

It started in March 2008 with a burning and sore penile gland. Just in case, I got tested at the local GUM clinic. As suspected I was clear, however the pain continued. I got re-tested just in case but all was OK. After a few weeks the pain subsided but spread to my right testicle. My doctor was a complete waist of time and it wasn't until I begged the GUM clinic to help was I sent to see a urologist The first one I saw didn't have a clue and told me I would have to up with it and just keep taking pain killers. It all became to unbearable, so I went to see another doctor who put me in contact with a private top urologist He confirmed what I thought and that was non bacterial epididmitis caused through heavy lifting. I had been treated for bacterial epidimitis along the way, however the drugs did not help. He suggested I have a bi lateral epididmectomy (removal of the entire epididymis). This was done 8 weeks ago and the whole experience was quite daunting. Nobody had prepared me for the change of colour and bruising I went through, not to mention the fact my wound got infected. Well here I am nearly two months later in the same pain I was in before. I have been told that the next step is to remove my testicles, but needless to say there are hormonal complications with this operation. Has anyone had a similar experience or any ideas they can share ?
