Title: Has anyone heard of swelling from PD
Post by: paul.karen on August 12, 2009, 12:35:06 PM

This is kinda strange to type but i am having swelling in my scrotum.  It started today and im wondering if anyone has heard of this.
My PD nurse is gonna call my Neph.  She said he may want me to stop PD.  I dont like this option at all.  I said can i just be dry during the day and see how that goes.  So i have been waiting and wondering.
So figured i would ask people here if they have heard of this..

I haven't had this paul.karen. I hope it isn't a hernia, but i think you'd know if that was the case. I had a hernia about 6 years ago, not fun. Never been confident lifting things since.

I have heard of it, but know no more about it.  Good luck.
