This doesn't sound like epididymitis at all. Even if you have epididymitis, masturbation would not be harmful. Keep working with your doctor(s). Good luck.

Do not get depressed You will be fine soon. Wear a good support underwear. Take Ibuprofen for 4-5 days. Use local heat for 15-20 mts 3x a day drink water. Hold masterbation till pain is gone for at least a week. Good luck
