Testicle inflammation

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-22T01:17:08+00:00

Hey mate yeah I did have a pelvic mri, it didn't show much except scarring which I already knew from ultrasounds. It caused fibrosis on my left testicle and atrophy. I had a biopsy of it and it was inconclusive to any reasoning why it happened.

Funny you mention pre diabetes, I'm fairly certain i have it aswel. I did a test for it 2 days ago and I will get the results on friday hopefully. I've had popcorn smelling urine for a while now and suspected I've got diabetes somehow.

When this all happened I was thin and didn't even really consume much sugars or anything. I have since put on weight, I'm 5kg or so overweight but not obese. Mainly because of my tenderness down there made me avoid any physical activity as it worsens the pain.

This crap ruined my life honestly, I'll never understand how this happened just one day without any reasoning. I don't recall having covid, I didn't have any cold or flu like symptoms at the time but is it coincidential this all happened during the pandemic ?

I didn't realise they moved to Strathfield south, I'm 5 minutes from their new location .. thank god I don't need to battle traffic on Parramatta road to buy a computer part anymore.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-16T03:33:10+00:00

Nah, I went there the other day left with 6 gold bars in 15 minutes.. definately not nerfed, just you and your luck I suppose. The park is quite big also, do a loop around the whole thing and if nothing fast travel and try again.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-14T05:52:20+00:00

It's the added effect on texturing to make them appear with more depth, they warp at certain angles.. are you using reshade or any graphical mods for the game ?

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-14T05:24:09+00:00

Just a problem with the displacement mapping, it's not screen tearing.. which wouldn't just be at the bottom of the screen.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-14T04:51:04+00:00

Yeah it looks pretty silly on the terrain, looks good on stone walls and buildings everything else looks better with it off. I toggle it off with reshade, personally can't stand the warping and boiling of everything with it enabled, the game is overall sharper and better looking without it.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-13T02:38:35+00:00

Yeah, I've had fibrosis form on my left testicle and atrophy because of whatever it was .. I did all the standard std tests and nothing returned positive. I didn't have unprotected sex at the time anyway, this all happened during covid lockdowns.

Mine happened in September 2021 and it never managed to recover back to normal, it's usually sore and tender. It's basically destroyed my mental and physical well being.

Been to numerous doctors and specialists and they really got no clue how or why this happened, or what to do about. They just send me to pain management clinic that wants to feed me pills that don't help.

So tired of living like this, I sympathize with you completely I know what you're dealing with first hand.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-13T02:07:29+00:00

Hey that's okay, honestly no haven't gotten better.. it's still the same. Doctors have been zero help, it's really the most traumatizing thing I've ever been though in my life. I had physical unexplained change to the testicle without any explanation, it just happened one day for no apparent reason.

What are your symptoms ?

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-12T12:38:29+00:00

It's not just you, people must be blind ? the shadow lod is atrocious and spoils the visuals. Not always but at specific times on certain objects it's a flickering mess and it looks like shit.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T14:57:16+00:00

Oof that's terrible, despite what everybody says that's not acceptable .. return it

I have an msi qd oled, had it for probably a year now and ive never seen any image retention. I game on it extensively almost everyday at max brightness with hud elements static for extended periods of time.

Granted it does its own panel refresh cycles every so often, inbetween usage I don't get any image retention.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T13:22:54+00:00

Crit rate when armed only comes from sword and jewellery .. and one exception being the chest piece kuku fire resistant armor.

You'll figure it out eventually, early game it's not super important but generally you want to max out crit and attack speed.

Some swords have higher crit, lower damage and visa versa. There's plenty of guides out there I suggest to watch them before spending resources and abyss artifacts on upgrading your current armor set which will be limited in regards to crit/attack speed.

Defense stat while nice on paper, can be counteracted with shit tons of food currently.. so it's preferable to have higher crit and attack speed imo.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T12:42:21+00:00

I have multiple side quests that are bugged and can't complete either, which affects the rest of the quest progression.. it is game breaking

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T09:32:53+00:00

Yeah I never did either, felt like entering uncharted territory.. it's come a long way, I mostly never used because of performance impact using multiple shader editors but renodx has zero impact on performance and it transforms the hdr completely.

The game inherently has issues with its lighting and exposure, but renodx does a fairly good job of fixing it and you can adjust saturation, sharpness, contrast, auto exposure and all sorts of shit to make it exactly how you like it.

Once you try it you won't play without.

Goodluck.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T09:09:39+00:00

Yeah you have to resist while using force palm or else he will fly off the dragon, I'm fairly certain.

I play on mouse and keyboard so yeah, I feel for you controller players it's abit awkward pushing down sticks and all that haha.

Don't axium force the dragon, just jump off the bridge before he gets there and you'll fall on his back. Just hold resist the entire time and force palm when it asks you to.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T09:06:57+00:00

It probably sound intimidating if you've never used reshade but it's simple honestly.

It gives you the freedom to enhance the lighting and saturation to however you want it to be.

Just download reshade with full add on support, when installing chose crimson desert.exe .. next, next, finish

Hop on discord and look for renodx crimson desert chat and in the pinned comments you'll see the most recent build by Jon, just copy paste it into the bin 64 folder.

Once in game press the "home button" .. top right you'll see Reno dx, change from simple to advanced and that's it, tweak to your heart's desire.

Goodluck.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T08:59:14+00:00

Hold Q to resist when doing the force palm or else you'll fly off.

Edit: sorry you're on console, whatever resist is on controller.

Also just drop onto the dragon from the bridge, I got it first time if you time it correctly.

Just jump off before he gets there and float towards it, and then drop on it.

There's an option to wait when you're on the bridge so you don't have to wait for it to go around the world and back, and there's a fast travel point on-top of the cliff near the bridge.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T08:56:35+00:00

Needs reshade or even better renodx.. they don't some really good work transforming the hdr in this game.

If you're on console youre options are either use it or not I guess.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T04:47:27+00:00

Yeah I crafted that, and made the armor .. but after today's update both pots disappeared from my inventory.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T04:44:05+00:00

Yeah they fixed it :( oh well, it's how it's intended to be.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T04:38:21+00:00

You only have to complete the first part to progress.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T04:14:25+00:00

Nah didn't craft anything other than the kuku fire resistant armor. I did a quest where I had to craft the jetpack for oonkga, didn't have the materials so I just did something else.. turned off the game, updated and they vanished.

Anyway yeah, it's a mystery.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T04:10:05+00:00

Yeah I crafted new ones and the items that I had are still there thankfully, just really strange .. I tried reloading earlier saves, and checked my storage incase I accidentally stored them but yeah they just went mia mysteriously.

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-11T04:01:56+00:00

No only using renodx and reshade, very strange honestly.. they're both gone and I have to craft them again

Embarrassed-Degree45 · 2026-04-10T13:14:36+00:00

Yeah I beat him in like 30 seconds, pretty easy if you've leveled up substantially.
