Hello all i have the oddest condition now for the best part of 6/10 years and nobody can tell me what it is or why its happening the problems 

1- in my right testicle there is a pain if i could it if i nudge it anything it hurts the left is fine its really nasty and it very difficult to deal with even if my boxer shorts hit it as i pull them down

2- it comes and goes in severity but is always there

i have had 6 doctors tell me its epididymitis  and fill me with antibiotics for years and it doesn't work 

so they sent me for an ultrasound which came back clear but lots of little cysts 

so now im stuck in limbo pain every day with apparently a swollen epididymitis 

im going insane and i don't know what do do

    Hello Logan,

    Your problem is very common and I have it too.

    First did you try the antibiotic Keflex?  It is designed for our condition, epdidimytis and it works very well.

    Next, you can get what is called a scrotal nerve block injected into the epididymis. You can look it up on the internet. It is simple and can provide relief for several months and is then done again if necessary.

    Lastly, I have the cysts too. It is important to wear snug fitting underpants to keep the cysts from being hit. I wear a high quality jog strap which really helps.

    When the pain starts I take 2 Tylenol with codein and 2 nsaids and that helps.

    Good luck.

    Howard
