Hope you continue to improve Mr P.

Decided to write mine off now. Bad job !

Review in April (on the flipping first of the month) but can't opt for more surgery with my son's condition, so will just have to put up with the pain, and no more long bike rides. Commuting to work and a quick hour on the bike at weekends. Gone are club runs or anything longer until/if this get's better. So no CC rides from me for the foreseeable future.

18 months of pain. Wrecked my Feb and March mileage and the whole of last year. Long live 60mg of codeine and 1000mg of paracetemol (or Red Wine). I've managed to sleep the last week as we've been so exhausted with looking after my son/hosptial stays etc. Now things are settling, and I'm back commuting by bike, up has gone the pain and the bad sleep.

Don't do it if you are thinking about it. PVPS happens in 1 in 10, and it will have you off the bike. Oh and don't go for an epididymectomy if you are a cyclist ! Big mistake. What's this friskyness you talk about ?

D-day today. Got to decide what to do, back in the Hospital at 4pm

Will see what the surgeon can offer but I've had no pain improvement since December. Said above I'd not want surgery, but I think it has to come to this to get a good nights sleep. Last few nights I've been codeined up again. Very uncomfortable just sitting at my desk.

Good luck - hope they find a way to sort it :thumbsup:

Back on 3 monthly reviews. Saw another consultant who again said it's common 10%-15% (I am getting tired of hearing this, and telling them the GP's don't tell you that before). Consultant recommended against any more surgery as the scar tissue will get worse (and this includes removal). Referred to pain clinic where I will see if they can offer nerve blocks ? The Urologist didn't know (obviously only specialised in his area alone).

I'm also going to leave my current GP as I am sick of them, so I think I'll need to act quickly as my referral for counselling will most likely not happen.
