Varicocele, humira making it worse?

[JAY82]

I have been having pain/discomfort in my left testicle.. I have known for a few years i have a varicocele (enlarged vein/varicose vein in my scrotum) from my left testicle.. It has never bothered me.. For three weeks now i have been having the discomfort and pain, started off as just a heavy feeling and has done nothing but get worse, dr fist thought infection and gave me antiboitics, week later in the er the dr thought varicocele was causing it.. It gets worse the longer i stand or sit, laying down with my feet up is the only thing that makes it better. My job requires me to sit for 8-10 hours a day, this is getting crazy and i need something done asap.. My question is why all of a sudden this is acting up, could it be made worse by the humira, i see other post say humira has caused varicose veins.. The other question is how long should you be off humira before a surgery and or how important is that.. I have appointment today with a urologist, and will push to have something done asap, i can't stand sitting at work with this going on and don't have vacation/sick time to use for this.. I have a baby coming in a couple months and need to say my time..

Never seen that in the side effects. It soulds like a coincidence. It also sounds like your doctors so far as just guessing. I don't have balls, but if I did, I'd get someone to do every possible test til I found out what it was for sure, not someone's educated guess, because they've never seen any case like yours before.

Offer to pay if insurance doesn't cover it, and sign the forms.
