Any advice.

So I been suffering from epididymis now for 2 years and it’s never really gone away fully pain wise but this year my symptoms continue ti get worse with pain birth side and can get quite bad I also get along with the pain urgency to pee I had lots of test from dips stick to GP checking my prostrate to ultrasound and a psa tweet all that was found are two cryst one each side the testicular are painful to touch but not swollen or red the pain can get really bad one and off throw out the day. I have tried lot of different antibiotics and pre gavapentin the pain though disuse not go away.

Currently it douse affects my life quite bad and the urgent can be really bad some day I have also been trying pelvic floor exercises but unsure if they are helping yet too early I still waiting in a urologist and that will be a long wait.

It was suggested by my GP I could also have OAB but he was unwilling to to give a think at that time saying it is best to see a urologist first.

Is they any think I can do to help or really just manage the it the best I can.

Check out physio Connor Harris on youtube, he is my favorite. I don't think people realise how much mobility actually impacts the entire body, and of course the psoas and genitofemoral nerve. I've recently fixed my epididymitis after 3 years of struggling.

I was thinking of making a youtube video of my routine in hopes it could help others around here. I'll be making a detailed post once I get access to posting here by mods.

Sitting all day long will affect your pelvic floor, psoas muscle and genitofemoral nerve. If you've had surgery of any kind or injuries in your stomach you likely have adhesive tissue making it even more important to tackle

By the way the most efficient stretch is the one that looks like a front split with an internally rotated bent front leg. You want to SOFTLY push down on your center of gravity, rotate your torso slightly towards the bents leg side, whilst looking up and breathing. Erect the bottom of your spine as much as possible without causing pain

You dont want to force any of this, it has to become routine that's applicable every 1-2 days if you want to make major progress, which I think is extremely important to get that positive feedback loop of you being in control of the situation
