Varicocele surgery complications?

I had bi-lateral varicocele surgery in April '99. Since that time, I've been experiencing a lot of pain in my right testicle. THe epididymis really hurts. Subsequent ultrasound was normal. My urologist said everything looks normal. Tried Elavil to no avail.  No infection, etc. I do have a herniated disc at L4/5. Would this cause the pain? The testicle seems to be riding higher than before the surgery. Could the surgery have caused this and the pain? Could the testicle be put back wrong?
