Hi. The chronic problem due to swelling of the psoas muscle, spleen, epididymis and the other picture you have mentioned is suggestive of Tuberculosis unless proved otherwise. Get appropriate examination, consult a General Surgeon, Get a CT scan again, Get all the relevant blood tests including God Quantiferon test for TB, Mantoux, ESR done. A therapeutic trial with an Anti-TB medicines should help you.
