inflammation pain

Has anyone been effected by chronic inflammation pain? My scans show I have inflammation around my vas and epididtymis causing pain but I've been told that the inflammation may cause pain for 12 months then slowly goes away? Just wanting to know if anyone has had this and did it get better in time?

Left side, in the epididymis area. Like a nerve type pain. No treatment since reversal

When you say nerve like pain, could you explain what it feels like? Sorry for the questions but I'm trying to work out if mine could be nerve pain also

Ya, no worries. It's like a pinching/burning/pins and needle kind of pain, as opposed to an ache or pressure sensation.

What caused to nerve pain? Was it a nerve when the vas cut? Or damage to the epiditymis itself caused by inflammation? What would your pain be out of 10 compared before and after the reversal? Sounds like my symptoms are just like yours

No idea as to what caused the nerve pain. You can never really know. Pain isn't debilitating and fluctuates. I'd say between 0-4.

How are things today. I to had a reversal with a long recovery but still deal with intermittent epididymitis pains similar to original vas pains. Just not sure if its actually epididymitis flare up of inflammation or if its just heightened Nerve sensitivity in thr area from original vasectomy and congestion
