Answer
Yes, it sounds like epidimitis which is an infection of the small appendage on the back of the testicle. Varicoele which is a varicose vein in the testicular area can often feel the same. See your doctor to be sure. OK?

Regarding your diabetes, cholesterol and hypertension, ask your doctor if Omega 3 at 2000mg twice a day might help all of these and let you cut down on some of your side effects. OK?

search www.nih.gov for Omega 3 to see the many things it improves when you make up for the omega 3 deficiency in all our diets due to the low omega 3 content of our modern food sources. OK?
