It would be very unusual for epididymitis pain to entirely clear that quickly. And if amoxicillin were effective against the cause of a testicular infection, it would not have begun while taking amoxicillin. This makes epididymitis an unlikely cause of the pain.

Unfortunately often testicular pain is treated as epididymitis by some non-Urologists 'Also the drug of choice for it is not amoxicillin. I am glad you are better. Pl start wearing a good support underwear- it might help
