I've had pain in the testicles for 16 months now. I don't know how much more I can take. I have constant ache in both testicles which ascends into extreme pain for 3-5 days after ejaculation. Needless to say my sex life is over. I'm on my second primary care doc and 4th uro. I've been diagnosed with prostatits, Interstitial Cystitis, Orchalgia, epididymitis... I've also been told it's all in my head.

All lab tests negative: Urine Culture, Semen Culture, Urine Analysis, Chlamydia, Ghonorrea, Ureoplasma. Scrotal ultrasound negative except for moderate hydroceles on both testicles. Prostate ultrasound and biopsy negative. Cystoscopy and bladder dialation for Institial Cystitis negative. I get some relief from hot baths. Ibuprofen does nothing, even at 800mg 3 times per day. Low grade fever comes and goes but have constant chills. I have gotten some relief from an antibiotic called Avelox. Took it for 6 weeks and felt pretty good, but pain came right back after being off it for 2 weeks. Tried the fenugrek and fennel herbs that was posted but didn't help.

Some questions: How many of you guys actually have had lab tests come back positive? If so, what were some of the bugs that were found.

What about Hydroceles, anybody have them and do you think they contribute to the pain? Anyone have a hydrocele drained or removed?

What if any antibiotics work for you?

Any other advice would be appreciated.

I'm dying here...
