Post-op day 10 – severe testicular pain, anyone experienced this?

[Nick74]

Hey guys,
I’m post-op day 10 and honestly struggling.
Most people seem to be doing much better by this point, but I’m still in significant pain. I have burning / stabbing pain localized near the lower side of the testicle, close to the spermatic cord area. Nights are the worst I can’t sleep even with Advil (I’ve taken up to 4).
Doctor mentioned fluids/seroma, but this doesn’t feel like typical soreness. It feels more nerve-related than inflammatory. No fever, no major redness, but the pain is intense and constant.

Has anyone experienced:
• nerve pain (genitofemoral / ilioinguinal)?
• seroma causing nerve compression?
• pain this severe after day 10?

If so:
• what helped?
• how long did it take to improve?
• did anything specific make a difference (meds, positioning, time, drainage, nerve meds)?
I’m not trying to panic just trying to understand if this is something others have gone through, because right now it doesn’t feel “normal recovery”.
Any insight appreciated.
Thanks brothers.

Hi Nick, does it feel the pain moves into your inguinal canal. I have the same problem but not servere but constant discomfort and slight pain, also depends on what I am wearing. I am 10 weeks post surgery and for me it seems the pump is taking up space and interferes with testicle. Also soreness around the outside of ballsack.
