Well fak, i came here looking for a funny story only to realize that i may have this ... :/
It happened randomly while i was chillin on this couch. And now my one testiclites is inflamed, hangs there like a lazy bastid, is cold, and has a numbing sorta weird feeling that kinda hurts at Times.
My doctress told me to get an ultrasound, this was 6 months ago. I still havent gone because it doesnt hurt imensley and im an idiot lol

[dupemaster]

How'd the ultrasound go?

I'm two weeks since having mine fixed. Right nut still hurts, but it's getting better. Otherwise in just sore from the actual surgery. So far so good.

I will say though... On Wednesday I thought I was going to kill someone at work my balls hurt so bad. I sat on the right one and instantly started crying in the office. I got up to head to the bathroom and someone asked if I'm ok. I said no, turned around, grabbed my keys and went home. It was 10 am and I had only been there for two hours.

Ice Advil and rest for the next day and a half seem to have been the ticket.

[Mr. Burns]

Thanks for asking dupemaster.

It's been a rough road...very rough. This type of injury takes its toll on you not only physically, but emotionally/mentally aswell.

I went for another ultrasound, and the radiologists say that my sack n balls are textbook beautiful, and they can't see a hernia, as I don't have a bulge.
Another radiologist said they found a 1mm hernia, but it's too small to cause all this pain.

I got so frustrated, so scared so fed up not knowing that I did some research of my own.
Found this speciality hospital in Toronto that has dealt with hernias ONLY since 1945...a 5hour drive for me to see them.

I recruited my mother(yes I'm 34:p) to make the drive with me to see these world renown pros.
Left at 4:00am got there at 9:39am
Still waited 6hours to see a specialist, and them saw the head specialist.
Both agreed that I DO NOT have a hernia, but a very bad groin injury, which in turn can offer assymptomatic symptoms as epididymitis and a hernia.
(The nut swelling/soreness)
But now it's down to groin pain/burning on the right side, sometimes referred pain to the left.

I'm to take it very easy for at least a month. And Advil/heat when it hurts bad.

This has been a freaking roller coaster of stress/anxiety but I'm feeling pretty confident that this is what it is. A bad groin pull/injury.

I was running ALOT, not properly stretching, and I'm a heavy guy(235lbs)

So I might of started the injury, messed up my back, limped a lot, causing more issues there, and finally physio goes and does it in.

I'm writting all this to educate others. It might not be a hernia, or a "non mechanical" issue...what I have (I'm hoping) is a "sports injury"

My sack is no longer swollen, but sometimes aches...but the aches starts in the groin...so ya.

Sorry about the novel, but I do hope this can help someone perhaps going thru this.

And for resources, look up "Shouldice Hospital" for hernia specialists. These guys are world renown. I trust what they have to say as its their speciality.

Cheers
Ryan

And dupe, really hoping the recovery gets better. Rest! And take it easy brother:)

Sad thread to read. Glad to hear your nuts are healthy :-) Im gonna go have my wife grab my balls now and if they are lump, off to step two.

[MattBimmer]

Does anyone else have those phantom pains in your balls. I have never had real issues with my balls other than getting 32 chigger bites all over my Di-Ack and sack. But occasionally I will have like serious pain and soreness like I just got hot in the balls, but nothing has happened. I will make room so nothing is touching them and it will still continue to hurt.

[Mr. Burns]

bringing this back up lol

so, been what...almost 2 months now?

STILL bugging me...ballsack pain has subsited substantially..thank god.

1 doctor (uroligist) said it's epididmits (swollen sperm cord) that seems to be gone now
1 doctor said small hernia (pretty much ruled out by the best hernia hospital in North America)
Hernia Hospital said it's like a really bad groin strain
Physio Terapist said could be a PSOAS injury (a huge muscle that starts in spine, runs latterally across hips, and down through your abdoment/groin)

if the psoas gets all funny, it can affect *everything* digestion/testes/ass muscles

SO...been doing some light stretches a few times a day...might be getting a little better...i'm really trying to be positive about it.

I actually walked 3KM last night, but the pain/burning started pretty back towards the end.

tomorrow I have a massage appointment where they'll likely do trigger point therapy of the psoas muscle...REALLY hoping to get some relief sometime soon.

I really miss running/biking living normally...

PSOAS pronounced "SO-AS" or SORE-ASS...

google that $hit...it's the devils muscle

[myinfernalbmw]

I missed this thread originally, now after reading it, your balls are in my thoughts and prayers Mr Burns.

[Roysneon]

Damn, man. I've got some kidney stones going on but that is killer, Burns.

[Mr. Burns]

nah guys, not killer! being positive about this!

currently I just get some burning within the groin area and some back tweaks...still not walking totally right, but everyday there *seems* to be slight improvement.

got a little worried yesterday during my walk when at times it felt like some guts where gonna fall back into my sack, but I think it's basically the muscle (psoas) acting up...

really gonna cross my fingers for tomorrow's massage...I really need to find a solution to this...too young for this nonsense!

[JRKOUPE]

ballsac

Im a DC....

I had epi'mitis back in the 70s.....


man it friggin hurts....wore a special belt...funny shit

have they ruled out a varicocele w/ you?


it could be psoas....

could be a lumbar disc..have u had an mri of L spine..and/or pelvis???.....I did not read the whole thread...

[Mr. Burns]

Nope. Would REALLY love to get MRI. But our health care in Canada is retarded and the wait time is 7+ months.
Plus, no docs have recommended it. I've only had ultrasound.

I can't rule that out as this all stared with a back issue on June 1st...

[ST1G]

Nope. Would REALLY love to get MRI. But our health care in Canada is retarded and the wait time is 7+ months.

That's what I've heard from multiple Canadians.

Good luck mate.
