Pain Diary
Jgens –
Sorry for not writing recently. I need to stay up with my diary entries. Dr. Chen is an awesome Doctor, however he is a general surgeon, and general surgeons do not perform orchiectomies. Only urologists perform this procedure.
I try to do regular exercises like bench press, squats, curls, and pull ups at the gym. Running seems to set the pain off the worst, but activity in general seems to aggravate it (walking, sitting, etc.)
As mentioned before, I usually feel pain free when I first wake up. This iz why I think there is a nerve injury that gets aggravated as soon as I start moving. I just don’t know which nerve it is.
One thing I am sure of is that time is not going to make it any better. I have suffered this pain for a year now, and am suffering just as bad now as I was a year ago. So it will not get better on its own. That I am 100% certain of. It needs to be surgically fixed. I just don’t know if it can be. That’s what scares me. If it can’t be fixed, I will have to make a horrible decision. There is just no way around it. I can’t live with this pain.
