My Spelling Might Be A Little Bit Off....but Im Sure
my spelling might be a little bit off....but im sure you will get the jest of it...Im a 57 year old male and 32 years ago I had been treated at a free clinic for gonnahrea im not sure if they treated me for chlamydia..after about 3 months later my left testecal started to hurt..i went back to the free clinic and was told that he never heard of this and told me nothing could be done..so I went on living with this pain for awhile and then I saw another doctor and he said I had epididimytis and that it was from chlamydia and gave me 14 days of anti biotics..it didn't solve my epididimytis..after about 2 years of pain and suffering I went and saw a urologist and he gave me naproxen and told me that I have a flare up and this will help ..and don't worry about it..that was in 2012 ive had more flare ups since then and went to my doctor and told him and he gave me thirty days of cipro and referred me to the urologist and when I saw him I told him my whole history and he didn't think that I had chlamidia or gonnahrea because I was treated 32 years ago and just take more naproxen and gave me smz/tmp ds 800-160 mg for thirty days and its just something I just have to live with. since ive been treated 32 years ago why do I still have epididimytis .. I don't understand and im confused over this
