He knows that all prior treatment failed, from medicines to cord injections...Conclusion was that if my test results are good there must be no pain.

Any advices....

thanks

Am I you? (imported) wrote: Tue Dec 23, 2014 1:30 am I am scheduled for 0600 tomorrow to have a bi-lateral testicle removal.

It has taken about 3 years and 2 liters of everclear to get to this point

I complained to my urologist about a year ago and he told me to see my PCP

The PCP said I had an infection and he gave me some antibiotics, which of course

I knew what was going on.

I had a routine appointment with my Endocrinologist who has me on TRT. He told me

to see my Urologist which I did. I complained of them being hard, achy all the time ( like I got kneed

in the nuts), Having sharp stabbing that radiate up to my upper groin. He sent me for an ultrasound

which was very pleasant, as a hot looking guy fondled them for about 30 minutes.

The US showed a mass in both of them. The urologist said he was going to do a biopsy. We talked about

it for a while and he finally agreed that complete removal through the groin should relieve my pain.

I agreed and it will happen tomorrow

I accomplished my goal with alcohol and then CaCl injections. I went to my primary care physician first, and he diagnosed infection after a couple of alcohol injections left them swollen. When the swelling did not go down (because I continued injections), he sent me to a urologist. I stopped injecting when I knew the damage was done and let them shrink. I then complained of fatigue, which is a symptom of low testosterone, in top of the pain. Doc did ultrasounds that showed they were infarcted (dead inside), and he did a couple of testosterone test that showed my testosterone had fallen to the 200s after alcohol injections and then less than 40 (when it should be 300-1000) after CaCl injections. The urologist tried three nerve blocks, but I kept complaining of pain.

You can't hurry a doctor. As my urologist explained, they know you'll be sterile if they castrate you. They also know that it will stop testosterone production, which is a big deal to doctors whose goal is to make everything function. The trifecta of pain + noticeable damage + they're no good use anyway = castration. And even though, you will need to suggest it, because they do not want to. Hope this helps. Let me know if you want to chat more.

Then I notice the failure a half hour later and find out that the TENS unit is shocking the crap out of my leg through a WAY too short path-length and tiny contact patch and is putting far too many miliamps through far too little meat and then I've got sore balls AND a sore leg.

If you're willing to buy electrode-laced leather jock straps from a hardcore sex shop, the unsuitability of the usual TENS electrodes might be worked around. However, I can't afford this, so I cannot provide firsthand reviews. In the mean time, I'll throw it out there because someone may be willing or able to give it a shot.
