Oh dear poor you I hope that you feel better soon. I had a wee look at your link on Epididymitis and was intrigued with the following comment:- Treatment otherwise comprises pain killers or anti-inflammatory drugs and bed rest if necessary, and symptom control by resting the scrotum in a supported position. I'm sorry but how does one support a scrotum, a sling, a wee table in a convenient position, a helpful hopefully female friend who is free to offer some handy support? I'm sure that the ans is quite reasonable but if its ok with you I'll just let my mind wander with probable solutions :-) Look after yourself Tom.
