What Causes Swollen Epididymitis?

Hello. I have been experiencing bad pain (from 5 to 8 on a scale of 10) for the past month or so. The pain is from what seems to be a swollen epiditdymus asee well as the cord that connects my left testicle to my body. There is a spot along that cord that is hard like a stale gummy bear and about the size of a cheerio. That area radiates pain from my scrotum to my lower abdomen and down the front of my leg. I am going to a urologist later in the week but I wanted to ask what questions I should ask him as well as how to manage the pain in the meantime. It has gotten to the point now where I need to ice my groin while I drive.
