At age 22, gonorrhea and chlamydia are the main causes of epidiymitis, but some cases are caused by other urinary bacteria, which can be resistant to ciprofloxacin. Tuberculosis and fungal infections also are possible, and some cases are not due to infection. You need further expert evaluation by a urologist and/or infectious diseases specialist. Best to avoid weight lifting for now. Good luck.
