Hey guys. I first should say that I had this problem for two years and I never thought it would get better and it ruined my life. The pain was in the whole testicles and up into my lower abdomin. After seeing many many doctors I found a anethitist (how ever you spell that) who worked in a pain clinic in a downtown toronto hospital. He began to give me nerve blocks (freezing) in the nerves in my lower abdomin and at the top sides of the scrotum. It would freeze for a couple of hours and go back. Every two weeks I would get the shot. And slowly the pain subsided and then the shots became every month, then two months and after a couple months it was completely gone.

I was told that the problem was that the infection which causes the epodidymitus caused the nerves to be damaged to the point that even after the infection was over the pain stayed, and probably would still be there had I not found this doctor.

I will post this on the main board as well so everyone can see it. Hope it helps you out, I know what you're going through. Email me if you have any questions.
