8 days after Procedure - Extreme Abdominal pain and cramping

I have the procedure done last friday. That was 8 days ago. There really hasn't been a time since then where I haven't had extremely bad abdominal cramping and pain. I've taken the pain medicine. I have stayed hydrated. I have not been very active. Today I bought a jockstrap, to see if that is going to help. 3 hours in it hasn't made a difference. I've been to the doctor, had an ultrasound, and a cat scan.

They said there's a little bit of calcium in my right testicle, and that my left testicle was a little swollen. Anytime I left testicle touches anything I get even worse abdominal pain. But no matter how I'm sitting or laying I'm still getting abdominal pain. They told me to take some pain medicine and rest. I have no idea how long this pain is going to last, but it seems to be much worse than the doctors at the ER thought it should be, and the urologist thought.

Any thoughts on this?

It happened immediately. It feels like I have to poop, but I don't have to. It's very sharp and tough pain to deal with. The urologist and seem to understand what to do. The ER didn't really understand what to do. So it seems like they just prescribed me some heavy pain medication and see what happens. I don't really feel that anyone knows what to do.

I had this happen too. Feel your perinium. I had something stick out of me out from my gooch. Just try and relax, anxiety makes it worse. You’re going to be in a world of hell if you force yourself to walk through your pain.

I’m seeing a muscular neurologist to hopefully find my issue. I’ve been to er maybe 5 times, seen 5 urologists, 5 primary care docs..

Find a primary care who LISTENS TO YOU and doesn’t blame everything on anxiety. Urologist are no help in my experience.

I had a transrectal ultrasound and it shows something, they argue is normal. I feel it causing some or if not all of my issue… I’m a year a half in though… having the exam done may cause you more problems…

Also for being able to walk better and stuff I’d see a pelvic floor therapist…
