Question from new member

About a month ago I noticed I was having a lot of pain when driving or sitting. The pain is in my right testicle and goes down into my buttocks area. At times the pain seemed unbearable. I went to a doctor (my regular doctor was not in town at this time) and he thought it was Epididmitis. A few days later I went back and told him the antibiotics he had given me were not working. He then told me that it was not Epididmitis but instead it was a hernia and sent me to a specialist. I went to the specialist and he said that it was not a hernia but was a kidney stone and sent me for a urinalysis. At this time I had researched and found your site. I had printed out pages and presented them to the specialist but he believed that I should check for the kidney stone, which I had a CT scan and it showed negative for any kidney stones. I am still in pain and cannot seem to find any relief. I go back to my doctor (who was back in town). During this visit I showed my doctor that my right testicle was swollen. She then shows me where my limp-nodes were swollen in my growing. She said this is an in infection and gave me antibiotics and pain pills. I took the meds, swelling went down, but the pain & discomfort from sitting was very much still there. I went back to my doctor and I was then sent to a Urologist. I had a sonogram done, which he told me did not show anything was wrong. I asked the doctor to look at the papers I printed from this forum and asked for a referral to the Neurologist that was listed in Texas, which my doctor agreed to do. My doctor said she did was not sure that my conditions were PN/PNE because of the swelling I had. So, this brings me to my question, does anyone know of any testicle swelling that is associated with PN/PNE or can someone provide some input on this.
I am a 41 yoa male and this degree of pain and discomfort is not something I am use to. During this process I have had all types of blood test, prostate test, hernia test (numerous), and am trying to find out as much information as I can. I am very thankful that I found this forum as it has provided me with a ton of information. I will be seeing the Neurologist in 1-1/2 weeks and will see what he says.
Thanks,
