    Hi Mark,

    Did your testicle ever manage to move freely like your non-operated one after your surgery, or did you find it was permanently sitting really high up? I ask because I had the surgery carried out about 8 months ago now and I'm having real problems going about my daily life due to the location and fact that it doesn't move freely out of the way, meaning it's constantly being knocked or squashed.

    Best of luck with your ultrasound!

      Hi Mark

      I went through very much same opp as yourself

      I ended up with sepsis and had to have re opp.

      I am only just getting back to some normal life but still having to take pain killers to help me through the day .

    Interesting! I had the opposite experience. I had had a vasectomy 40 years earlier and had the same dull ache. I had seen numerous doctor who didn't even examine me they just told I was among the 1% . Then I had the operation for the hydrocele which I believe was caused by the vasectomy. Now that dull ache is gone.
