They made an incisionIncision for abdominal laparoscopy Incision for lung biopsy Incision for pleural tissue biopsy Incision for thyroid gland surgery next to my scrotum and performed the surgery in that manner. I was on a local anesthetic. During the surgery I was bleeding profusely and it would not stop. Finally the headHead and face reconstruction Head injury Head lice Indications of head injury Radial head injury doctor was called in and resolved the issue, but I will find out in 3 months weather this complication will cause me to lose the functions of my left testicleTesticle lump Testicle pain Testicle ultrasound. I had to stay overnight in the hospital and was in extreme pain for the 1st two days following. I was unable to walk and it is still incredibly painfulPainful menstrual periods for me to walk, so I have spent the past 5 day in bed or on the couch. My left testicle is slightly swollen (not so obvious in the morning, but swelling shows around mid-afternoon). I have also had a slight fever everyday that starts around late afternoon and I feel poor for the rest of the evening. I started antibiotics immediately after the surgery and was taking a strong prescription pain killer, but now I am taking ibuprofen (6 tablets a day) and the fever is still measurable while taking the ibuprofen. For the past 5 days I have on and off experienced lower back pain and a pulling sensation in my groin area. I know that my post surgery outcome is not normal, but I don't know if I should contact the hospital or doctor to let them know of my consistent condition. Has anyone else experienced this - especially the inability to walk? I can't even walk to the toilet.
