hey guys not posted in a while. But a while ago i came on here seeking advice from you very knowledable lot and iv come back for more lol basically i recently visited my doctor to see if he could do anything for me as i have epididy-orchitis (pardon my spelling). And i also told him i was worried about testical cancer as for some reason i had got it into my head that could be a possibility. Iv been checked by 4 different doctors now all giving the same feedback from them that my epididymis is swollen/inflammed and it is having a radiating effect upon my other testical and the rest of the testical the inflammed epididymis sits upon. Now is it common for the epididymis to also have a point where it attachs to the testical at the bottom as well as the top and does everyone elses pain radiate into their lower groin occasionally and at parts of their thigh?

Now im really worried because i keep thinking about testical cancer and i made my doctor get me a cat scan cause im worried..i havnt been for it yet but do you think its worth the hassle or should i go with 4 different doctors diagnosis? How long do the effects of the swolleness carry on for. I have no identifiable lumps upon my testicals other than the swollen epididymis and the pain radiating..another question i have is would it also have a effect upon the testicals firm/hardness as the inflammed in question is slightly harder and tender etc..

The doctor thought it was strange i am suffereing from epididy-orchitis for so long now but when i came on to this forum i noticed many of you have been suffering for ages. Many thanks for your questions and i hope it may take the idea of testical cancer out of my head lol
