Hi fellas, I hope you are well.
I come looking for some advice, I had a unilateral orchiectomy nine weeks ago, and now my remaining testicle is hurting, it feels swollen and hurts when I put on a pair of jeans or trousers.
Is this normal, has anyone else experienced their remaining testicle hurt after orchiectomy, does the remaining testicle ever settle down?
Hi Wolvodave
Sorry for delay in responding. I sympathise with your pain, I am currently just over 6 years on from when my pain first initially started and I don't have answers to why I still have pain. I have been back and forth to hospital, scans and check to understand why I am feeling this pain but to date I have had no answer.
I can say for me, the less activity I do the less the pain but this is not ideal or good.
There does appear to be a number of us on this chat that are experiencing this on going issues so I would advise keep asking and pressing them for reasons why.
I hope you are doing OK and have support in family and friends. Each journey is different!! Take it easy and talk to people.
Regards
Oscar
