There is no single correct answer for this. Pain management is highly variable and must be tailored to the individual patient. Some patients have a higher pain tolerance, and may require only very mild analgesics (pain medications), whereas other patients may be more susceptible to the effects of pain and may require agents such as morphine, propoxyphene, codeine, hydrocodone, or oxycodone. When a patient is evaluated by a physician for this condition, he should be asked to rate his pain on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain ever imaginable. Based on his response, and based on how severe the malignancy is (how much the cancer has spread in the testes), the physician will make a determination as to the correct pain management for that patient. It is important to note that pain management is different for every individual. If what your doctor has prescribed is not working, speak up. Pain can not always be eliminated, but it should at least be manageable. Don't wait until it is out of control, because the worse it gets, the harder it is to get it back under control.

I had testicular cancer. Roxicet and hydrocodone are the pain meds I got. After nerve sparing one-sided lymph node dissection surgery, I got morphine while in the hospital, on a drip that I could conrol. Then more hydrocodone when I went home. All of these are the kind of pain killers that people get addicted to, so watch it.I'm allergic to ibuprofen and stay away from all NSAIDS aspirin, naproxen sodium. etc . You mightt have more choices.
