The swelling of epididymitis is due to inflammation caused by bacterial infection. Though the infection has been eradicated, the inflammation takes time, usually 4 to 6 weeks, to subside completely. If it does not, further investigation may be considered.
Painful and swollen scrotum could be due to infection or sometimes vascular problem. Assessment by a urologist is appropriate to arrive at a diagnosis and secure the proper treatment.

The symptoms could arise from the testis, epididymis, nerves and blood vessels of spermatic cord and lower ureter on the left side. You need a urologist to sort out the problem.
In general, the chances of recurrence for medium to low Gleason score carcinoma of prostate ten years after radical surgery is very low. In case of doubt, continuous regular monitoring may be considered. Repeating the test in another reputable laboratory is an option to ascertain accuracy.
Prostatitis is one of the differential diagnosis of the symptoms mentioned. To confirm the diagnosis or exclude other conditions, the opinion of a urologist is helpful.
