A member asked:

I'm an athlete with epididmytis and it hurts to run! when will i be able to train again !?

Soon?: Acute epididymitis is often due to infection and resolves rapidly with treatment. Non infectious epididymitis is a bit more problematic. Should be treated with good support, warm baths, nsaids, and avoidance of triggers. Your guess is as good as mine as to when it will clear up.
