No, his urologist told him there are pills on the market but they do not work well, so he's just doing the DMSO treatments.

Your symptoms sounds vaguely like his...he started with the feeling of needing to urinate frequently and urgency. This only happened when he was on the road to work (road vibration) or when at work he was operating machinery (again, vibrations). The epididectomy just added a different and continual pain to what he was experiencing.

Good luck in whatever you decide.
