Epididymitis

[pepciwi]

hi all, I recenty visited my doctor (july 2nd) because of testicular pain, he put me on Cipro. A few days later (wed july 8th) because I was having a side affect from the cipro (tendon pain) so he put me on septra, along with a referal to a urologist. I went to the urologist and he comfired that more than likly its Epididymitis, (no back pain, no pain in urination, prostate ok), its been a week since I have been put on septra and almost 2 weeks since i have been on a antiobotic, and I am still in pain.

Can anyone give suggestions? Should it take this long? is there anything I can do to help? Im going on a long distance driving trip sunday morning for college orientation and i dont think i can stand the pain from driving like this :( Help please

Hi,

I have gotten this problem several times. Depending on how bad it was it can take several weeks for things to return to normal. Should you still experience a lot of pain after about a month than I suggest going back to your doctor.

I have had occasions where it took more than 6 weeks before things started to feel OK again. It is best to get checked out again if you are in doubt.

All the best,

Ron
