In January, I began having extreme pain in testical. I was diagnosed with epidydimitis (inflammation of a tube in the scrotum due to bacterial infection). I took a weeks worth of antibiotics and the pain was cured. I won't go into detail, but less than a week later, something happened that caused me to think: "Uh oh, that felt weird. I really hope that pain isn't coming back". Sure enough, within hours the pain was back. 3+ months and several rounds of antibiotics later, I was still in pain and in severe panic and depression over my condition. Somehow through prayer and destiny, I stumbled upon a random blog of a fellow chronic epidydimitis sufferer. They had claimed that the answer to their cure was found by reading the works of Dr. John Sarno. He referenced this forum as a great source for his support. Long story short, my groin pain is now gone for the most part besides a relapse every now and then when I start to dwell on the past. My main point is that without finding that blog, I never would have been able to accept my condition as pyschological. There really isn't any information about Epididymitis being TMS. That one guy that wrote that blog was what allowed me to fully accept it as TMS. If I had never gone down the Sarno path, I can't imagine the horrors that I would still be living. The epidemic of chronic epididymitis is rampent through the internet if you check medical forums. All these years and people still suffer without a cure, and demand that doctors put more research into this area. My doctor suggested that my only other option was to have epididymis removed, which would severely hamper my chance of having kids. How could our doctors possibly suggest such a destructive procedure for a condition that is blatantly a form of TMS pain? It gets worse, he at one point asked me if the pain had gone from one testicle to the other. It hadn't, but within a couple of days of him asking the question, it had starting hurting on the other side! It has also happened to others with the condition. How is there a physical explantion for this phenomonon? He fed me some BS about the nerves being connected or something. I guess my main point is that without the TMS approach, I would probably have eventually had that surgery after trying everything else. And shortly after, I'm pretty sure the pain would shift to the other side, leaving in all kinds of depression. Thank God, for the work of Dr. Sarno. I can only hope that other sufferers of chronic epididymits can find the same relief that I did. And if I am ever able to contact that blog writer, I would be willing to thank him for saving my life!
