Should a Varicocele Hurt This Bad?

2 sundays ago I noticed a pain a testicles, it wasnt bad just a constant ache, but it got worse, so I went to the urologist on thursday and he said that it is a varicocele. I was feeling alright that day, then 3 hours later I began to experience some of the worst pain of my life. The pain felt like it was in my testicles and shooting up into my bladder. Now I am a 26 year old man and can take some pain( I have passed a kidney stone and this felt worse), but this had me lying in bed crying at some points thursday night and friday morning.
I called the urologist immediatly friday morning and I had an ultrasound done. I was in such pain that I demanded that they give me something, so they gave me some pain pills. They said the ultrasound verified that I had a varicocele and showed nothing else wrong so they sent me home and told me to come back thursday. I have spent the past 5 days now lying in bed and having trouble moving. I have been feeling ill(with no fever) and it feels the whole internal part of my reproductive system is aching along with my testicles. I recently started having trouble starting to urinate, now I must sit down to pee and it takes about a minute to start and it feels like I have to push it out. I was in such pain I called up the urologist today(tuesday) to see if they could help me and the doctor said he could either operate and remove the varicocele or that I will have to deal with it. He also mentioned he had never heard of anyone having such bad pain from one. He sortof made me feel like he thought I made up the pain to get pain medicine. He said my later symptoms (right testicle aching and trouble urinating) were due to anxiety and I was otherwise just fine. From what I have read a varicocele will cause a "dull pain" and what I experienced was anything but. He never offered any anti-inflammatory pills or antibiotics which I would think would be the first things tried before surgery. So should a varicocele hurt this bad to put me out of work and life for a week straight? I still feel really bad, not to the point I was last friday, but still very bad and I would like to know if I should get a second opinion. Thanks in advance for reading this and for any advice anybody may have.
