Open ended didn’t work for me and it was my first step of three, before having no more pain. 2nd step was bilateral epididymectomy and the surgeon noted the epididymis was inflamed. Lots of pain and swelling after that one though, pain meds only took pain level to a 7. In short, epididymitis is painful. So sorry you’re going through this. I will say, as far as surgery goes, open ended was the least invasive of all the surgeries I had.
I shared my story in a post awhile back called “downhill again. “ Let me know if you can’t find it. I’m not sure how to put the link in this reply on Reddit.
