Background infomation. I was doing a postman job which required long amounts of walking mainly in the cold. I went to the doctors and they said it could be a epidydimytus infection. I tried doxycycline and cipro and neither of them worked. The swelling is mainly in the right testicle and i occasionally feel a small amount of discomfort occasionally in the right testicle. Normally if it swells too much i can have a shower and it will help to reduce swelling. I did have a swelling and pain in neck at one point and the doctor did question whether i had the mumps vaccination. However this swelling as been here for way over a month and i heard months should last like one week or so. Hope you can help
