Is Ibuprofen Recommended For Sharp Shooting Pain In Back After Having Had A Vasectomy?
Hi, I'm a 28yr old male. I had a vasectomy about 9 months ago without complications. Since the surgery, I have had on and off sharp shooting pains in my testicles that come and go at random times. I am now concerned because I found a lump a little larger than a pea in my right testicle. It is sensitive to the touch. I'm expierincing a sharp stabbing discomfort feeling that feels like a spasm. Now I also have extreme back pain (about 8/10) on the left side. I have taken ibuprofen with no relief. Also, about a week and a half ago I had some urine leakage after urinating. No burning or pain with urination, and it has not happened since. I'm more concerned about the lump on my right testicle with the discomfort and the severe pain in my lower back on the left side. I also have had no recent injuries or traumas. Any information would be great as I can't get into the urologist for another week and the pain seems to be getting worse.
hi. post vasectomy you should not experience pain,rarely due to neuroma you may get some pain. your left side pain looks unrelated to vasectomy. it may be due to stone in kidney/ureter.you may take buscopan for pain relief till you see a urologist.other alternate is to see a surgeon or emergency physician
