thanks for your comment , i was worried last night and went to the a % e room and had some blood tests which came back normal and the doc who saw me said it was probably muscle pains , he gave me some co-codamol and said to take ibuprofen aswel , i was taking the antibiotic for 7days and the was no change in the epididymis after the first few days of taking trimethoprim i had alot of back pains and stuff so definately wasnt the right anti to be on so im gonna go back to my doctor for something else , thanks for the comment much appreciated .

not sure if i can help but sounds like its the epididymis. take paracetamol regularly and and anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen. perhaps your not on the right antibiotic. but definitely go back to your doctor
