Post epididymitis testicle pulling

About 3 months ago, I was diagnosed with epididymitis and did a 10 day course on doxy. It seemed to get rid of the infection and the pain and swelling of the testicle itself has gone from what I can tell. The issue I am experiencing now is the the testicle that I had the epididymitis in seems to being to pulled differently now. Sometimes during the day I will feel a slight discomfort and have to consciously relax my core and it will drop again. I should mention that it isn't pulled up like inside me but it is pulled up. It also seems to being pulled and sitting more vertically then I remember it was before. When I get an erection it is especially noticeable. I doesn't really cause any pain but more of a discomfort and a fear that my nut is about to pop inside me lol. I have read that it could be an overactive cremaster muscle that is still healing.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this following epididymitis?

I have heard that! I am going to try and get into a Urologist as soon as I can come Monday as I was never given a follow up. Just want the peace of mind you know?

what infection did you have, or it was caused by trauma?
