p.s. Try putting ice (Frozen peas are good) on your scrotum and see if that takes the edge off. If so it more likely that it related to the Testes, cords.

Banding is a pretty good way to unsure more pain. "If" you get to the point where you really do want to have them removed you want as much of the cord to be removed as possible. Banding and other (really dumb) do it yourself ways are the worst possible way to resolve Orchialgia.

Some people have all the luck! My brother is so straight laced I can not even imagine him jacking off.

Your pain could be caused by something else upstream from the nerve. Perhaps a nerve is pinched further up but your testicles are feeling the pain. Try Mr T's advice and get a spinal block, and if that does the job then the problem is someplace between the back and testicles. If that does do the job then it the problem nerve is upstream from the spinal block and maybe even in the brain.

Just a thought that popped in to my head after reading everyone else's thoughts!

If it is any thing else It is to the point that the doctors are not looking. I have tryed to get them to look for another cause and there not. I asked for a body scan, denied, I asked for a Emg , Denied. It is to the point if this doctor doesn't do something real about my pain I am just getting rid of my balls.

When I awoke this morning a single thought was in my mind, and that is....

What if you get castrated and the pain is still their?:dong:

Exactly!!! Be sure and "Prove" its the testicles or the cords by having them numbed up by an expert in pain meds. Then IF thats the source have one side at a time removed. Why be castrated if its not the source!? You sign up for sterility and life time reliance on HRT etc.

Do you know if the pain can be triggered by anything specific like caffeine, alcohol, or tobacco smoke. In my case all three could trigger it; the first event was incredibly severe with extreme orchitis, epididymitis, and prostatitis. When I was first examined the left testicle was so severely inflamed that the doctor was more interested in giving me morphine than he was in examining anything. They drugged me up for pain, put me on tetracycline, and took a urine specimen and sent me home. While the tetracycline was in my system the pain subsided, and I was OK until I went in for the follow up; when they took me off the tetracycline because my urine specimen was "clear," then everything got worse again. Because there was no "infection," they wouldn't give me tetracycline, but they would supply vicodine or demerol. On my own I learned that caffeine or alcohol would trigger it and so would exposure to tobacco smoke. I also learned that my "sterile" urine has lots of alpha-hemolytic streptococci in it but at high-normal levels. Because each flair up is presaged by a fine spread of small red dots on my chest, I suspect that it is an abnormal sensitivity to the "normal" alpha-hemolytic streptococci that sometimes gets out of hand (for me that is, even though the reading is still in the "normal" range) and can be controlled by antibiotics but no urologist will prescribe them. For the last few years I've avoided coffee, I never smoke and try not to be around smokers, and never have more than one beer every once in a while and have been pretty much asymptomatic except for Xmas parties when there are occasions to drink a little more and several days in sequence. Last year it suddenly flaired up, with incredible pain, my temperature spiked at 104, I repeated my history to the ER doctor, who took a urine specimen, scoffed at tetracycline as out dated and prescribed cipro assuring me that that would clear everything up once and for all; on the follow up my urinanalysis was "clean," the pain and swelling was gone, and the urologist was happy; I've had two minor flair ups since and have gone back to hot baths and not seeking help because the pain is manageable. I know what triggers it, can avoid it, and if I don't do something really stupid like drink a lot (for me more that 2 beers) everything is manageable.

I think you need to examine what you are doing before the flairups. Caffeine, tobacco, alcohol are irritating to the GU system; licorice is also bad for some. Pay attention to what is different about the time of an incident.

I may be wrong in my guess of idiopathic sensitivity to normal GU flora, but I've never heard a better explanation. One urologist was convinced it was an unknown virus, but frankly, why am I being reinfected with it when no one else is affected and why are cipro and tetracycline effective against the symptoms unless there is a real pathogen? Maybe none of this will help you, but that is my guess.

Have you had the Doctors check for Inguinal Hernias?

There can be Hernias or "bulges" (very early stages of Hernias) in the Inguinal Canal which push on your Cords and cause pain which feels like it is coming from your Testicles. It can be fixed by surgery.

Make absolutely sure someone checks for these types of Hernias before you proceed with castration... Because if Inguinal Hernias are the cause of your problem, castration isn't going to do anything for your pain!

Good advice! Need to add one thing though...there could be up to a day or so between exposure and the pain...(just to make things harder ), so I would keep a journal of things your exposed to and time of day...things like what food and how much, smoke, car fumes, etc.. also in the journal put down the time of day that the pain is the worst, starts, stops, and/or not as bad (maybe on a 1 to 10 scale). Then when the pain is at the worst go back and see what you were exposed to and pick one item and try that...then later on try another etc...if none of those work then then try combos on the list...the idea being that over time you can eliminate things that make it worse. This will take time which is why you need to write it down

And Wolf, before you start to band yourself, read "Mounds_dont" horrible experience doing this... a lot of pain...
