Epidydimitis?

[jagerbombme]

i have aquired this wonderfully painful infection since december 2005. i have been on different antibiotics on and off since then with three different doctors trying to get rid of it for me. only reason im posting this here is because i read that steroids can possibly cause this. i have not used steroids yet, but has anyone had this and how did they get rid of it. one of the docs thinks my prostates enlarged and causing the spermsacks to be inflamed. this is not nescessarily an infection either, it could just be inflamation. i don't know if its' due to increased test production due to the intense workouts over past year and a half and have started stopped started stopped due to wrist sprain and a neck injury. any body know anything or had experience with this pain in the balls. i feel pain from my right nut all the way up through my abdomen around to my back. one doc thinks prostate could be causing it, one thinks it could be a nerve in my back. i haven't a friggin clue. antibiotics don't seem to have a consistent impact on it dissappearing and reappearing.

thanks

Same with me bro ... its the shits. Mine from my job, running a front end loader all day and boucning up and down on the gooch. A spasmed PC muscle can stay aggrevated for months (especially the colder ones). See a urologist bro, get your tests ... ps how old are you?

i am 29. been lifting hard for last 1.5 years. this started 10 days after i fell on ice hard. hard enough i got whiplash and low back pain, then this started.

how long you been dealing with this. i used to drive a highbay forktruck myself about 4 years ago. the ones you stand up and drive. how long you had this, what do you do,? have you cycled with this problem?

the more i read, i think it's a pelvic muscle issue or back issue. because im on antiB's right now for almost month, 2 a day bactrim like 1000mg twice per day and it just came back, it seems when im doing strenuous stuff it pops up. or my toolbelt at work being tight. and lately it's always bad right after i take a crap.

I feel your pain bro. I had a testicular tortion which caused my right testicle to swell up the size of a grapefruit. Thought the pain would kill me. I was misdiagnosed with epidydimitis, suffered for the six worst weeks of my life before finally finding a competant urologist. Ended up losing the testicle.

awe damn dude. sorry to hear that. unfortunetly this isn't that simple. i've been checked like 5 times for that now. hopefully your not in any pain anymore

My guess is you have Prostatitis (could be bacterial or non bacterial) or Levator syndrome.

levator is a big negative. prostatis could be, the one urologist did a supposed massage to get prostate fluid out, and left me shaking in tears, i couldn't pull up my pants for ten minutes, i couldn't move, it felt like my insides were wrecked. i started taking a saw palmetto product with ginger and other stuff in it. hopefully it will start working on it if it's the problem. cause man, this just sucks, and what especially sucks is not knowing what it is.

well, i think i might have it figured out. i think i do have torsion, i just looked up the symptoms as they are back in full effect on me right now and the symptoms hit the nail on the head. epididymitis symptoms are steady, burning pain. this is sudden out of the blue very bad pain going from right teste all the way up into stomach. i don't know if these dipshit docs know how to tell if it is or isn't, but right now my ball is aching and i think im going to the emergency room.

Yeah good call bro ... I get worried, so I always tighten my abs, when I do that the right on rises, thats how I know everythings in the right spot.lol

Bro, the surefire method of determining whether you have a tortion is to listen to that testicle with a stethascope. A tortion will choke off the blood flow to the testicle, so if you have a tortion, you won't be able to hear a heartbeat in that testicle.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you. Hoping for the very best for you bro.

holy shit dude!!!!! id rather loose an eye than go through that an loose him!!!!!

im sorry to hear of your loss.

Torsion is very painful, and urgent, must be opened up and untwisted very soon or the nut dies, if its from december, it would be a dead nut.

Losing a testicle isn't nearly as bad as it seems. Once you get over the emotional thing, it's not like you tend to dwell up it that much or consider yourself anyhow different. In fact, I was in so much agony that I couldn't wait to get rid of it if that was the only way to relieve the pain.

Girls couldn't care less that I have one ball. I have a prostetic, but it's not a very good one, too small.

And most won't belive this, but having one testicle actually has some sexual advantages.

 

[jagerbombme]

well i didn't go, i fell asleep, couldn't decide on waiting for doc appointment next friday or not. the pain is only when the nut is bumped and then it's severe pain. i donno.
this effin sucks though. i would get rid of it right now if i could then not have to deal with walking up a ladder and all of a sudden feeling like i got stabbed through my nut into my stomach up to my ribs 35X a day.

 

[spikemydog]

your crazy!!! get to your doc asap. think whats goin on!!!! right????

 

[jagerbombme]

i went and they sent me home saying i had a hydrocele and a small cyst on the epidydimis. also telling me that isn't what's causing my pain and i don't have intermittent torsion which they didn't even check for? doctors i tell you!!!!!!
