Something you don't want to know about..

Ever been kicked in the junk, all day long, and it never stops?

Unfortunately I do.

Dude........not cool.

Have you been able to treat it with antibiotics?

Sorry to hear this. I hope you're able to find some relief.

My brother in law came down with it about 15-20 years ago, I had to carry him out to the car & take him to the doc's.....

He wound up in the hospital for about a week hooked up to IV's.

In the end he came out OK, but has 2 adopted kids.

I'm not joking, hope you get it looked at, its nothing to mess with.

Got anti biotics today. Had to explain to the boss (thankfully a man) why I had to go home today.

Already snipped, so I'm not worried about anymore boys. Trust me, you don't want this. Along the lines of a kidney stone in pain, but they didn't give me any morphine. Getting old ain't for wimps. Lonnie was right.

Good luck, Andy. Those antibiotics should get you back to a reasonable level of comfort level in a couple days.

Cool, glad your on it. My BIL was one hurtin unit for sure, & he is as tough as they come.

Been there, but with kidney stones three times. That never ending robogrip nut pain is a bitch.
Good luck and get well soon.

Port wine and m&M's helps a bit. All out'a pinners.

Had the kidney stone thing, if it's that painful my sympathies.



A definition: Epididimytis is an inflammation of the epididymis which are tubes that are located behind each testicle. Depending on the age of the male, the cause can be bacterial infections, such as std, enlarged prostate, usually in older men or following a procedure, such as cystoscope. It can also be caused by straining caused by heavy lifting. It is very important to have the cause diagnosed and treated



Been doing any heavy lifting????

Ouch! damn.....nothing is more sacred than the health of the boys! hope you feel better soon.............

Moved a bunch of 1.25" thick plywood Monday, 9 sheets, about 150 feet. Along with a bunch of 2x4's and 2x6's.That was probably the cause. Clean as a whistle.

Getting ready to build some work benches. I've been able to scrounge enough wood from the construction site to build about seven 8'x30" work benches. Looks like I'll wait a few days before any more heavy lifting.

Yikes dogfish,
My old man had that years ago and it took two different scripts to calm it down. Put him out of commish for over a week. Good luck and hope you get better.

I think Andy just came back from Panama....

Better save some of those antibiotics for the boys when they return. They will probably need them.

Ouch.

Just got back from Bartels. They do not have "hope your balls get better soon" cards though I looked.
So I hope your balls get better quick. That would suck.

I was thinking sucking might help.... and no, that is not an offer

Yow! Never heard of that, but it sounds really bad. Don't know about the medical effects of M&Ms, but I heard the green ones make ya' horny. Seems the doc could have at least prescribed some morphine to go with the wine to take you to a happy place away from all the pain. Next time have one of the kids help you pack the lumber and plywood; that's part of what they're for. 1.25" ply, now that's gonna' make some nice benches.

Take care Andy.

That heavy ply is just a nightmare to move around. Just about killed myself moving 4 sheets to the second floor on my house. I had the old snipperee right before x-mas myself.

Hopefully you get back to normal, maybe it's just your body telling you that you've pushed it a little too hard with those long weeks? Use the break to re-design a bunch of stuff.

You gotta stay away from those "Grays Harbor Hitchhikers."

Dude,

I'm married, so that automatically means I'm not sexually active.
