On December 17, 2013 I went to the ER for blood in my urine and they found that I had a major bladder infection and I was told to see a urologist. A little later that day I had sharp pain and swelling in both testicles and then major pain in my right side. It hurts to walk at a normal pace and running is out of the question. They found a 2mm cyst on my right epidimius and a 4mm kidney stone in my right kidney but the cyst shouldn't be causing my pain (according to the urologist) and I have past a few kidney stones before and I never had pain like this. I had a cystoscopy done Feb. 18th and many blood and urine tests done with STD tests included and everything came back normal. I just had an MRI done 2 weeks ago on my lower back and found a herniated disk (either L4 or 5) and found that my cartiledge is drying out but according to my PCM, the herniated disk "shouldnt be the cause of my pain." I've been dealing with this for over 3 months, have been on 4 different antibiotics the entire time, and am finally going to be able to see a neurological surgeon next month. I have no idea what is going on and I'm thinking maybe this might varicocele? Are there any other possibilities?? Please help!
