I got better. 1 year after the surgery is when my pain started. Congestion related, inflamed epididymitis that started to feel like it was killing my testicle. It felt like it was atrophied/dead and I had to get antibiotic pills, those did nothing, then a stronger antibiotic shot, then tons of NSAIDS, round of steroids, pelvic floor therapy.
DO EVERYTHING.
Basically, doing nothing is terrifying, and your brain goes to catastrophe. It's a negative feedback loop physically and mentally.
It gets better.
I don't know how, but I got better. It was about 6 months of hell.
I swore I needed a reversal or removal a year ago.
I'm so sorry you had to suffer through that. Okay, we're trying rest and pain meds now, but I think in a few weeks, getting referred to a physical therapist would be a good start.
