my scrotum on my left side has grown to the size of a baseball and hurts bad

I have had varicose veins in my lower right leg most of my life. I'm a 56 year old male. The veins in my leg have gotten worse over time . to the extent of my right leg increasing in size . to the point its almost twice the size in diameter. now I have a large swelling ,which seems to be a large sack of worms containing my left testicular to the point I have trouble finding it . I went to the doctor last week and all they did was take a urine sample and told me they would contact me the next day with results and they never did. today I'm scheduled to have blood work done.. the pain I have been in is unbearable to say the least. when I asked if they could give me something for the pain they just replied my insueane wouldn't cover it.  im on the Oregon health plan at this time. I even offered to just pay for them and I was still denied. since I was there last Thursday I have been basicly stuck in bed cause everyday movement is to painfull to handle. the left side of my scrotum is so big I cant get my whole hand around it. its huge and has gotten a lot bigger just in the time I has past since I saw the doctor last Thursday . I do go back in this morning for blood work not to see the doctor. I don't know what to do , I  don't feel im being done right and would like to ask what I should do. for the pain and size it has gotten. my preferred provider through the insurance is not even an M. D. she's a natural path doctor I'm going to try to see the doc again today cause last week I saw a different doctor cause my doctor had the week off shouldn't they be doing something more for me ? please give what advice you can so I can figure out what to do about this situation im  in. thanks for any advice you can provide

Yes, they should be doing something more.  They didn't examine your scrotum?  This sounds like grade 3 varicocele.  A urologist would probably be the best doctor specialty to see but I guess you have to go to your primary first? The first doctor doesn't seem to be very thorough.  Does ibuprofen help with pain?  Often varicocele will get better on it's own and you manage with ibuprofen or Tylenol for pain.  But you are in Such pain and have a history of vein issues.  You may require more aggressive strategies.  So, what kind of doctor are you seeing today?  PC?  Make sure they examine your scrotum and if need be, get your referral to the urologist! Sorry you are dealing with this!

I saw the lab doctor and I was scheduled to have a ultrasound tomorrow the reg doc wasn't there but came in to call me and percribe me pain meds and refer me to the ultrasound . My blood pressure was high and they did blood pressure check on all my limbs found one reading extra high  so I think they might be stepping up to plate and referring me to urologist also5 out of six places they tested were stollis I believe the upper number were 156 to 158 and the sixth was 174 so I guess there could be blockage in my right leg so I'll find out more tomorrow I hope thank you for replying I was getting a bit scared and truthfully I'm still scared but I'm giving it to good and praying he's still there for me . I not giving up thanks again I will add to story when I know more again thank you
