It’s happened to me twice already…once with Avodart (dutasteride) and now with finasteride (generic Propecia). After a year or so I start to get all kinds of inflammation problems. These are:
-dull ache in prostate
-pain in left knee
-pain in left testicle/epydidimitis
Aspirin or other anti-inflammatories help, but what other options are there short of stopping fin altogether? Current dose is .25 mg daily.

What makes you think its the propecia. The only side effects listed are an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives).
Other, less serious side effects have been reported but usually resolve with continued treatment. Continue to take finasteride and notify your doctor if you experience
decreased libido (sex drive);
decreased volume of ejaculate;
impotence (trouble getting or keeping an erection); or
breast tenderness or enlargement.
I have been taking for 3 years and am very satisfied. You may want to go to a urologist, or a new urologist
