Epididymitis: Epididymitis is often brought on by straining or lifting. It is always assumed to be due to infection although many times it is simply an inflammation. Would recommend that you see a urologist and get antibiotics. Anti-inflammatory meds such as Ibuprofen are also helpful. Scrotal support and avoidance of lifting weights until resolved are about the only things you can do. Good luck.
