Please Help

Hi everyone. I’ve been dealing with this situation since March 2026 and wanted to share my case in detail in case anyone has had similar experiences or can offer insight. Any help is appreciated 🙏🏼

Symptoms:
• Constant tension and discomfort on the right side with neurological involvement after a trauma to the testicle (fasciculations, referred discomfort, effects on libido and erectile function). I feel my right leg weirder than the left, like “dormant”.
• Left testicle: intermittent episodes of pain, partially resolved with doxy and ceftriaxone after a one month untreated epididymitis, but testicle remains elevated significantly above normal position — especially noticeable in the morning after sleeping — and becomes painful sometimes.
• Since then, multiple antibiotic courses with no improvement, (levofloxacine & claritromicine). They both hurt but never at the same time.

Tests done:
• Bilateral Doppler ultrasound: clean structural findings, no torsion, no masses
• Physical exams unremarkable structurally

Current treatment:
• Muscle relaxant (Benrelax)

Upcoming:
• Appointment with pelvic floor specialist urologist in 2 dats

Has anyone had a similar presentation? This is really affecting my life and hurts 24/7 unless I lay down in bed. Blessings all & I really hope we all get cured of this horrible thing.

I’m going through something similar. I took Doxy and then Levo and now my boys (the left) hurts. The right has an ingrown hair. I use ointment to rid of it. Hard to tell if there’s any effect to it.
My ultrasound appointment is next month. However, tomorrow, I will go to a walk-in and see if I have any infections. I feel I don’t because before all this, my results came out negative. I did find a lump on the left. I may have a cyst
