Hi PianoMan,
I did experience soreness of both testicles for up to 3 weeks, but it did gradually mitigate. There was also pain in the area that my prostate use to be, but that too gradually subsided in a month or so. Sitting on a soft pillow helped.
Again I will mention that if the pain you are experiencing disappears as soon as you lay down (on your back); there is a good chance it is from a hernia.
