Hey guys,

Im a 22 year old dude, and im a sporty guy by choice. While I was younger I had 2 operations, 1 on each testicle for testicular torsion and havent had any problems all these years.
I have a sex life, well did and I never had a problem with it.

But before october this year, I did some heavy gardening, but i didnt notice any pain. and one day maybe the day later or so, after sex, my right testicle started to hurt.

I left it off for a bit, and went to see the doctor, he said it has nothing to do with testicular torsion and I thought so because it wasnt at all the same kind of pain. He checked to see if it was infected and it wasnt. He said it was swollen and that is the reason it hurts when it goes up, e.g need to go toilet, walking. It wasnt just the testicle that hurt, it was the top of my right thigh to right next to it and it was more of a numbing pain than a sharp pain.

So he put me on iprofen for 2 weeks, and it did get a bit better. but it was up and down. I didnt have sex with my partner, and i couldnt do sports, when I did it hurt more the next day. sometimes even the other side would hurt.

It seemed during moments of stress or lots of movement like an expedition/market while I have to constantly move I was ok, and the pain was gone.

But now its december and its still not 100%, i didnt masturbate or have sex for a week and I was thinking its better, but after today, i noticed afterwards its uncomfatble again. is it a mental thing? I'm not in agonizing pain, but as an athelete I need to be more healthy and I think long nights of intamacy are off the menu for a bit.

thank you very much and I hope I can get some help.
