Desperate for Epididymitis Help
Well I was diagnosed with epididymitis back in June on just one side, took ceftin for a week and it was completely gone.Then it came back two weeks later out of nowhere -- in both sides now, so I got another prescription, this time 10 days long. Pain did not subside, but the pain was never as bad as the first bout which was about an 8/10.
Then I went to urologists, who took another urine test/sample which tested negative, and an ultrasound which showed no tumors and that both my epididymitis was indeed flared.
28 days of cipro were prescribed (2 pills a day, 500 mg x2 i believe). Pain did not get any worse and did not get noticeably better. This prescription started in late july.
Now its October, and I have not gone to the docs since July. My urologist is a dunce, who seems to be shocked that the antibiotics didn't clear up the epididymitis when hundreds of people have had the same problem as me.
I have taken Vitamin E, C, and cranberry supplements to no avail. I have also taken "candex" which is an antifungal enzyme supplement, which seemed to help slightly, but no lasting results.
So what can I do to solve this?
And do I even have an infection if it has not gotten worse and worse since ending my antibiotic course? The pain has stayed at about a 2/10 spiking to a 5/10 occasionally since then.
Other things to note:
-marijuana and alcohol significantly increase pain.
Marijuana makes the pain more constantly spiking, and more painful
Alcohol makes the pain worse after 8 hours or so from the time of consumption, and the pain stays at this higher level for about a week before dropping to the usual 3/10.
My plan is to try alpha blockers in case some nerve is being blocked, but I would like to hear advice from anyone who has experience withh this issue.
It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
