Aching testicles, anyone?

Hi, my partner, Bob has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He has had a bone scan (results not known yet) and he has an appointment with an oncologist on April 27. Bob had his ultra-sound and about 10 samples taken for biopsy on March 9. I'm not sure how long after that that his testicles started aching. Not every day, but might ache for a day or more at a time. Bob is convinced that this was caused by the ultra-sound/sample-taking. Has anyone had this, and if so, did it last for a long time? Could it be caused by the cancer?

Thanks so much for your replies each time I post.

All the best, Karlen
