    Hi all, question

    Well let me start by saying I’m glad there’s a site like this to come to. I’m 17 and for the past few months have been having this pain the testicles and epididymitis (I think that’s how you spell it) for a while. So I go to the urologist and get checked out. He gives me ciprofloxacin, I finish taking it and the pains still is there. I take an ultrasound on my scrotal area. Apparently I have an enlarged epididymitis on my right testicle. It also seems that the right testicle has not fully dropped for some reason.

    Now for the past few weeks I have been noticing these lower back, groin, and stomach pains. Two weeks ago I have a back pain and went to touch it. It was then I realized that every time I have a back or groin pain there seems to be a lump/bump there. I remeber the urologist ask me some question about lower back and groin pain but I have never noticed it until now.

    I am going for a follow up appointment this Thursday. I am nervous. My entire life seems to be falling apart. I have stopped working out and doing the things I love. I just constantly think I have some sort of cancer that seems to be spreading rapidly through my body. My question is does this sound like TC to you?

    If it were testicular cancer, it almost certainly would have shown up in the ultrasound. I strongly suspect it's something else.

    If you've temporarily stopped doing things you love because they cause pain, that's one thing. However, if it's out of worry, start doing them again immediately!

        In the meanwhile, you'll feel better if you get in a workout.

          Hi, it's been awhile. Sorry, I forgot to post back what happened to me, lol. I have epididymitis, and an infected prostate. I feel a lot better now. I'm taking antibiotics. Thanks for the support and everything.

          Only thing now is that I have one testicle that doesn’t seem to drop ever. The doc didn’t seem to worry, but next appointment I am going to ask him about it just to make sure.

          Keep up the great site! It’s a terrific place!
