Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
This is not unusual since epididymitis may recur and it may take few weeks to completely cure.
However, I'd suggest you to do some more tests to rule out other diseases such as STD or prostatitis or even inguinal hernia. So you should get done STD panel tests and Ultrasound of testicles and prostate for an initial evaluation in this regard.
Let me know if your having any further queries
Wish you good health. Regards
