[Leigh2018]

The pain I had started gradually immediately after the constipation. The pain is mostly on the right side of the right testicle. The pain may radiate a little higher and sometimes I can feel it on the right flank a little. (Hopefully I am describing it correctly). It seems like it helps to stand up when there is some pain sitting down and walking for a bit. One thing I didn’t say was after my last surgery about 12 years ago, the surgeon went in and removed some scar tissue which helped a lot. I was completely pain free after that except with some occasional short lived pain which I attributed to scar tissue. When I had imaging studies before my last hernia operation more than 12 years ago, they didn’t show anything. I really don’t want this done again because it is time consuming, etc. I am really in good shape and prior to this pain, I have been extensively working out for a mountain climb this summer which looks like I will have to postpone. I am age 70 and look like I am about 55 to 60.
