Men, have you ever had epididymitis?
How long did it take to recover?
How did you get it (the cause)?
What was your pain like?
How was it treated?
This is a first for my 73 year old body.
It took me a week to finally get the courage to go to the Urgent Care and deal with the relentless low level pain in my testis. Not an easy thing for me to confront. Kept hoping it would get better.
Last Monday I thought that I simply pulled a groin muscle at the gym. But over the next 6 days the low level pain (level 3) revealed that it was coming from my testis. And last night the ache kept my from eating dinner (nausea) and kept me awake most of the night.(despite 60 mg of ibuprofen).
The doctor asked me to tell him all the exercises that I did at the gym. When I told him about the “Hammer Stretch Glute” machine and demonstrated the movement he said, “That did it.”
Doctor said that besides infections, epididymitis can be caused by trauma and repetitive sports. And prescribed ice messages and ibuprofen.
This is the 8th day after the gym injury and I’m not any better. Hoping that the doctor got the diagnosis correct and that there isn’t additional injuries to my groin.
One these days I’m going to realize that I’m not 60 years old anymore. HA!
