Been pretty uncomfortable for the last month.

I have fairly chronic discomfort in the L5-S1 region.

Last month had a flair up that after a couple of days started moving to the right and eventually ended up working it's way around to the front.

Figured kidney stone.

Ended up with discomfort starting from the around top of my pelvis running down and ending in right testicle.

About 10-12 years ago I had a Varicocele diagnosis which I assumed was causing my current discomfort.

Occasionally I get a couple of days flair up and it goes away.

This time it was not so off to the urologist who was thinking more Epididymitis. Put me on a course of Cipro and after a week there has been no improvement.

He scheduled me for an ultra sound on Monday.

Today my back is really bothering me and I feel a bit of discomfort on the left side of my body, pretty much a mirror of what's going on on the right but not nearly as bad.

So I'm sitting here wondering if what I'm experiencing is really related to my lower back issues and not what we are currently treating for.
