It feels very strange to put out there that I've had the same issue, but it seems to be very common, and yet is rarely spoken about. I had the same path as you — infection, antibiotics (through an IV), and then a few weeks later the pain sort of disappeared! Now and then I wake up with the same pain, maybe twice a month, and it lasts for 1-3 days. But otherwise it's mysteriously disappeared. (I feared it may have been torsion/Bell Clapper Deformity or something like that.) I think you may find this article interesting: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/finding-help-for-pelvic-pain-a-patients-story-20090203212 https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/finding-help-for-pelvic-.... There is another article I found where two doctors noted that men in high-performing careers (ostensibly with a lot of stressors) often complained of chronic testicular pain. They had developed this sort of massaging device [...] which worked remarkably well for their patients, some of whom had even had testicles removed because of the pain, but oddly I can't find it now.
