Feel like I was kicked in the balls

[drdmike]

I did my normal workout this week but had to use different machines because the ones that I used were being used. Now my balls hurt like fuck. Any advice on how to get the pain down?

Rest, stomach breathing. Your muscles might be tense/swollen around your inguinal canal, which might pinch off the nerve a little (or you did while working out), causing that kicked in the balls feeling.

I had hernia surgery a few years ago, and often (well, more often than I would like to) get this feeling. Sometimes it lasts days. One time it lasted a few weeks... Not sure it applies the same but it's at least somewhat possible.

Hope it's not hernia.

^Yes I agree with What23's response that this could be a result of tensed or swollen muscles. Give yourself about a day to rest that part of your body and see if it improves. If not you can always have it checked out just to make sure it is not hernia or some other medical condition.

Note the location of the spermatic cord. You probably have some workout related inflammation in your inguinal area like was already mentioned, and it is putting pressure on the groin.

You probably worked out that area too hard with the alternative machines that you don't normally use.
