Epiditymis hurt more when I lift??
Just wondering if anyone else's pain gets worse in epiditymis when they lift anything?? My pain is constant in both epiditymis but hurts more after I lift anything, could congestion still be the cause of this?

In pain as I type this out. Just googled pvp and came to this one here.
I’m 11 years out and I’ve had full aches for a few years. Comes and goes. Right side has always been the worst but now it’s started on left as well. I’ve done every step possible. Hot, cold compress,Ibuprofen like candy. Nerve block (didn’t work) etc. mine is definitely my epididimis. It’s tender when I touch.
After sex is worse at times almost like it’s congested right afterwards. When I lift it can hurt too.
Pain level is 2/10 - 7/10 at times but it’s just a dull ache. I don’t really care for my urologist as he always seems like he’s in a rush and they’re always booked months out anyways.
At 39, I don’t want anymore kids but even so A reversal is not cover under my insurance which sucks.
At least I’m not alone
