Pain in left testicle when sitting down

Hello, I am 19 years of age. These past two months I've been having ongoing testicle pain while sitting down, it's like a dull ache and it comes and goes. I've been to the doctors about it and I was told I might have something called "epididymitis". However I am so worried about it as i've taken one weeks worth of antibiotics to treat it and the pain is still there. I cant feel a lump whats so ever but it feels a bit sore to touch at the tube? of the testicle. I've had all blood tests and the GP felt my testicle and said it feels fine. Im just so worried, I just feel like i need some type of advice.

 

To add, ive been having lower back pain when sitting/laying down and I've been having to clear my throat of mucus, I recently went for an X-Ray on my chest to see if there was any anomalys but my lungs were fine.

  • I am currently experiancing these exact same symptoms as the first post, I went to the doctor last week and he prescribed me antibiotics, I finish the course tomorrow, my lower back is also injured and the doctor did wonder if this was connected (pinched nerve maybe). Urine and blood all clear. Pain is mainly when driving in the car. I too have been having to clear my throat/lungs (clear flem) but I wonder if that is a reaction to the antibiotics.

    Anyway, back to the doctors tomorrow to see how the antibiotics worked (no difference after 8 days so far)

     

  • Hey Clark, sorry to hear that you're experiencing the same sypmtoms for me. After all the weeks worrying about my testicular pain, I realised I had major health anxiety. I was so scared of getting cancer and the worry just wouldnt stop, until the pain stopped. Its been around 8ish months and Im no longer having any symptoms. I guess I was just worrying about it so much that I was making it worse maybe? Idk, if theres any science behind that. I mustve messaged the doctors about 30 times a month nearly worrying so much about all these different symptoms but as time went on the pain just went. Also that goes to anyone else suffering from health anxiety, trust me it will get better I promise you.
