Yeah, regarding doctors I'm not sure anything they suggested help. The first one I saw that it was an infection and gave me antibiotics. That didn't seem to do much.
Then as it persisted another urologist thought it might be urine backflowing down my vas deferens and I took beta blockers to improve my urinary flow.
Finally the urologist basically said that sometimes after you have an infection you can have idiopathic pain for a long time afterwards.
And maybe that was it. It pretty much went away on its own. I feel quite fortunate for that, because it really sucked. If it had persisted I suspect I would've seen quite a few more urologists!
- rriepe 6y agoI had something like this that landed me in the ER. I got a diagnosis of deferred kidney stone pain at the time. I too was all about which way to sit in a chair. I can't imagine that going on for weeks.
- andreygrehov 6y agoI had a similar problem, no urologist could tell me anything meaningful. After some time and a gigantic load of stress, I randomly stumbled upon a guy who had the exact same problem as mine. He did a shit ton of analysis, tests and scans. In his case, it ended up being a pain coming from a herniated disc. Coincidentally, he had the exact same disc being herniated as mine - L5S1. Once he told me about that, it all clicked for me, as I usually had pain sitting in a weird position. My brain just couldn’t identify the origin of the pain, and I thought it’s coming from my balls.
- autarch 6y agoGiven that it resolved itself on its own, I'd assume that wasn't the case for me. But it's very interesting how referred pain can be so confusing!
