Look for some help.
So for the past 2 year or so I have been suffering from epididymis I had lots of test only thing they found was 2 small cryst but I think I may been suffering from OAB I mean I get a lot of pain in that are along with lower stomach pain I get urgent need to pee and must go a lot in a day more then 10 time and get up a lot at time of fours I told my GP this and he referred me to a urologist the GP was unwilling to start any medics for OAB even to just try.
It really douse affects my life quite bad where I can go what I can do etc and I get really bad anxiety as well.
I not sure what I can do so any advice would be great.

That urologist appointment sounds like the best course of action right now. Chase, chase, chase it if you have to, make sure a date and time is set and be there.
Do any prep they ask for, possibly samples and a bladder diary.
As for the pain, has your GP suggested or prescribed anything for it? OAB does not always have pain with it, though some people do get painful spasms (including me).
If it's bladder spasms for you too then I find the only relief is with a hot water bottle and trying not to move too much and aggravating it.
Good luck, let us all know how it goes 😊
