since operation I've always had ball ache causing nausea but not really painful, unable to concentrate and occasionally bad tempered. Recently been back to urology for scan,found nothing sinister but scar tissue. The hydrocele was in right testicle of which at times is painful to the touch but when walking or sitting for 10 minutes the testicle starts to throb with pain and that's me for the rest of the day, I've been getting codeine which helps the continues ache but nothing for the pain in the testicle, in the last 6 months the pain is now in my right thigh when trying to walk. After telling the doctor that the testicle is stuck right up the sack and its getting squashed between legs as it's not free to move his response was "buy baggy trousers " I've been given another 3 month sick note and referred to pain management (January) with no pain relief for testicle, ongoing!
