testicle pain months after torsion surgery?

Question

My testicles are hurting and i had torsion surgery in july and the last two weeks they keep hurting and today the pain was so bad it felt like it did before surgery. I haven't stressed or overworked them our anything. I dont know if i should go to the ER or wait to see the doctor in the morning. Does anyone know what the problem could be. I couldn't go to the doctors this morning and the nurse i spoke with was pretty contempt to make sure i go to the ER right away.

Pain itself means that something is wrong.
Yes, ER right away.

That is just not acceptable. Whilst you had what sounds like a very difficult indirect hernia to repair (indirect hernias come from a congenital abnormality that leaves a weakness), and whilst the mesh method would be chosen because it stands a better chance of working across a large area, it appears either to have healed with possible adhesions or a hernia has recurred. As they sound so cavalier about your genuine concerns I'd even be worried in case they left a foreign body in there by accident! If you are not lucky enough to live in a country like the UK with a free National Health Service and a appeals process, I think you need to say you will issue a formal complaint unless you are referred immediately to an acknowledged expert in the repair of indirect hernias (even to a teaching hospital.) I've had a regular inguinal hernia repaired by the traditional method and after 6 weeks I was back to being OK.
