Thanks for the detailed response! Great help, hopefully if it's going to happen they go through the groin as that sounds a bit better than the neck.
What symptoms did you have before? I've been having lower back pain and around the coccyx recently but didn't think that was linked, the heaviness in the nuts and fatigue is my issues I'm on my feet all day and walk usually 7-8 miles as well so it's becoming a struggle!
Many thanks again!

No problem.
Symptoms included lower back pain, lower abdominal pain (apparently the tubes from your balls stretch all the way up to your stomach/kidneys, hence the aching). I also had a heaviness/pulling in the balls and a discomfort when moving them (juggling in the shower). I also had a prostate infection (prostitus) so had a pain in, er, prostate too. That went following antibiotics though.
Have you been referred to a urologist? I was referred before being recommended (by the urologist) for surgery. I was supposed to be there for a few hours having all manner of tests (including a tube down the japs eye into my bladder - didn't fancy that one) but they didn't get this far after asking a few questions on how things were working (peeing ok) and feeling my man brain (there were obvious ropey lumps).
Wearing tighter boxers helped a bit, as did trying to 'adjust' oneself when sitting for a long time (i.e. driving or in the office). Generally the pain/aching went when I shuffled around. Much worse when being on my feet all day (i.e weekends).
Symptoms sound very similar. I knew I had it a few years ago after I went to the docs panicking about a ache down below I was sent for an ultrasound which confirmed it but nothing was done then as it seemed to calm down but I've always been aware at times.Symptoms included lower back pain, lower abdominal pain (apparently the tubes from your balls stretch all the way up to your stomach/kidneys, hence the aching).

I've been referred yes to a urologist(I gave the wife a heart attack by telling her oncologist
) but I'm hoping to sort it out quickly through BUPA as my wife has cover for us all and I'm pretty quiet the next couple of months.Hopefully no japs eye intrusion happens I might just put up with it a bit longer!

Ha! Well at least it's sorted.
Good luck with whatever happens next - what's the expected treatment likely to be?
Thanks mate you've been a great help, the guy who done the ultrasound reckons he will do the embolisation as well through the groin he said he very rarely does it through the neck so fingers crossed. Been impressed with the service from bupa(wife has cover though work) but it's 3 weeks wait at the moment for the procedure so looking at January.
