Ducy; I think it's time to decide to stay on the Circus Wheel here or to go out on your own. Maybe get a place with a roommate? Not certain. A while back I told Oedi he was sitting on the fence and had to pick the side. You are beginning to climb the fence and have to decide; can you live w/your parents are is it time to move out???? If you stay at home; how do you "fit" and still be an adult?

Hey Ducy, I totally empathise with you having epididymitis. I went through a spell of this Myself last year. I ended up having 11 weeks off work during which time I was on major pain killers and had a left testicle so swollen I had to move it out the way for fear of sitting on it! For those that have never experianced it, it is a whole new world of pain!

I wish you well and hope you get it all sorted bud )

Oh yea, I was never able to close my legs the entire time I had it. And I find I still have some trouble keeping my legs together and many a time I have harmed myself while changing positions while sitting lol.

Not sure how, but I came down with this Tuesday night, and let me tell you how much pain I'm in.

Pain started Monday morning, swelling didn't start until Tuesday, by Tuesday afternoon I started to freak out and called my family doctor, he saw me and called over to the urologist who then sent me to the ER. The only plus was that my doctors called over to the ER to tell them why I was coming, so they had a wheel chair waiting for me. And I only had to wait for 2 mins in the waiting room. Ultrasound came out negative, meaning that it wasn't something worst (there's something worst!?!). About three hours later they gave me some sort of antibiotic and a prescribtion for more. They asked me if I wan't something for the pain, I said no, but now I'm wondering why I said no.

Wednesday I notice the swelling is actually worst, could this be because I was poked? I decided to wait it out, Thrusday it wasn't better, but it wasn't worst either. Had to call first thing in the morning to get an appointment with the urologist. They didn't have a time open, but was nice enough to take me anyway. The weird doctor didn't really seem that concerned, but had me go take another ultrasound, he suspected that it would turn out the same as the one on Tuesday, but wanted to rule it out. Turns out it was the same.

Today (Friday), still not better, still not worst, the pain is still there, thank god the pain is not as bad as it was. I was able to run to the store to get stuff for breakfast and lunch, just had to make sure to protect myself. That's the first time I've been anywhere public besides the doctors and the hospital.

I go back to the urologist on Monday for another follow up, maybe by then the antibotics will actually do something.

I'll ask the urologist on Monday, but if anybody had it in the past, how long did it last you? I see Master Bulldog said 11 weeks, I'm hoping it's not that long for me.
