Need advice

pelvis to the right of my penis. I have been to the doctor many times
since but they never have any answers for me. I have looked in many
books to try to diagnose my problem myself. It seems that my pain is
coming from the vas deferens on the right side. It's a burning, pulling
sensation that starts at the top of the scrotum on the right side and
goes up into my pelvis. When the pain comes on I can alleviate it by
adjusting the scrotum (freeing it up) and by applying pressure to that
area of my pelvis. As long as I stay active I have no pain, but if I am
sitting for a while such as driving it comes on. Also, the right
testicle seems to be higher up in the scrotum than before the
vasectomy. I have been told that this might be a reaction of the
muscles to the pain.
I went back to the doctor who did the vasectomy and he told me the cause
of the pain is due to scar tissue. I'm thinking it's all due to
pressure build up in the vas deferens on the right side. My questions
are: Pressure build up of what? Why does it only effect the right
side? What can be done about it? I don't want to live on pain killer
drugs.
TIA,

I have a similar condition that came up after my vasectomy 10 years ago.
Sometimes my pelvis also "gives out" when I'm walking, and I have alot of
difficulty getting an errection. My doctors are all uninterested in helping
me, saying it's psychological. I know it's physical. Have you had any more
success? Do you have any suggestions as to how I might find relief or who
could help me with this? Thanks!

erection although it would be even better if I didn't have any pain down
there. I have being doing more investigating recently. It seems that
most of my problem might be occupational in nature. I drive alot on the
job. My car seat is such that it puts a strain on the inner thigh
muscles of my gas pedal leg. I have found that I can alliate most of
the vas deferens pain by sitting on a pad. Also, I think I also have a
problem with my bladder that is somehow affecting the vas. I must
urinate frequently. It feels like I have to go bad and then when I go
it's not that much. I have for some reason got into the habit of
straining my abdominal muscles. It's like when you have to go but are
holding it in. Well, I had got into the habit of doing this all the
time.
I am now taking septra and concentrating on relaxing my abdomen and also
using the pad on my car seat. Things are improving except for the
urinating problem. I may go back to see the doc over it. I hope he
sees me because my last appointment I screwed up and went in with a
preconceived notion of what my problem was.

the urination problems--plus some of the pain you have had (and how it is
worsened when you sit alot--sounds like it could be related to a prostate
condition ofsome sort.

This could be a prostate problem. Have you had your prostate checked lately?

Thanks for your advice. I'm starting to see what's going on here. Tell
me if this link may apply to my condition. It sounds exactly like what
I have. http://www.prostate.org/muscle.html

You may be on to something here. And it sounds as though you could try
out the recommended remedies yourself, without doing any harm. Maybe
that will clear up the problem. But I would still go see a doc.
Prostatitis is notoriously hard to treat and apparently not well
understood, and patients are well advised to educate themselves about
it--you should take a look at the prostate website we reference at our
site below (I think the link you mention is part of it) and the
associated newsgroup for more info. But it is best to have a doctor
working with you, so he/she can at least rule things out (including
cancer). And that takes, at the very least, an educated finger. (I will
avoid going into details!)
Good luck!
