Testicle pain - is there a cure?

I've had pain in right testicle for 12+ years now, the pain also goes down my right. The pain is horrendous and I find it difficult to walk at times, certainly clothing will also make the pain worst. I cant sit down, I cant stand for too long, even walking will make the pain worst, I'm actually becoming housebound. The only time I get relief is when I lay down, but as soon as I stand up the pain starts again.

I've had 5 ultrasound scans which have revealed some small cysts and varicolceles below 2mm in size, the Urologists say these are not big enough to be causing the pain, so they don't want to operate???

I was offered a nerve block injection last November, but I stupidly cancelled the appointment. The pain specialist explained that the nerve block may not even work, or may only bring some relief for a short time, a few days or a few weeks, so I thought what was the point????

I'm now due to go back to Urology next week to see what they want to do, my fear is... what if they do offer a surgical approach, but what if the surgery doesn't work, or make things worst???

Reading members posts on the forum, there doesn't seem to be any success stories, its all quite worrying really.
