So this week (wednesday) I was diagnosed with Epipdidymitis, I had some pain in my left testicle on tuesday morning, come tuesday night the left side was swollen to 2-3times the size of the right side. I was very worried as you can imagine, the next day my GP quickly diagnosed it and prescribed me some Doxycycline, he gave no advice for pain relief so later that night I ended up in A&E due to extreme pain where I seen another GP and 2 Doctors (I seen the 2 doctors because there was a remote possibility it was testicular torsion but both doctors agreed it was Epididymitus and told me to take paracetamol along with some iburprofen which are doing a great job at removing the pain)
Anyway, i'm now sat at home with a tescticle the size of a tangerine worried out of my mind, how long does this take to clear up? although it doesn't really hurt (much) anymore its still extermely uncomfortable and i'm unable to sit or lie down properly, i'm taking the Doxycycline twice a day (when I wake up and just before I go to sleep) and taking the paracetamol + Iburprofen combo every 4 hours.
