Worked Out....Then This Happened....

[UltimaWeapon]

Hey guys, i really hope someone can help me here. Heres my painful story.
Monday afternoon, i decided to start a workout routine (havent worked out in like 8 months). Like the idiot i am, i didnt stretch properly. I decided that i would do some light leg presses (i think, where you push your feet forward and you lift the weights). i started really light, but i did alot of em, i knew i couldnt do no more after about 50, but i kept going till about 80 and straining myself.

After that, i did a few light upper body workouts, then i hit the treadmill for a 10 min jog. Went home, everything was cool. Next day i went to work, i felt the normal sore muscles. but i also had a pain in my groin area. Im thinking...well maybe i pulled a groin muscle, but it didnt hurt too bad at all and i thought nothing of it. I had a nice little masturbation session that same day after work, which actually was kinda painful cuz i kept hitting the area that hurt.. (yes, im that stupid sometimes).

Next day, i wake up in so much pain down there. I check myself out see if theres any bruising or discoloration but nothing was wrong. just felt like someone kicked me in the balls, and the pain went all the way to my abdomen. I start doing a bit of research and it still seems like a pulled groin muscle that i made worse by masturbating. =| I didnt work. And i took the next few days off work just in case.

on thursday, things got pretty damn bad. still no bruising or anything, just really bad pain still, i felt ok sitting, and laying down, but i could not walk without me being in tremendous pain. i took some muscle relaxers, and some perscription advils throughout the day. this only made me get a headache, feel loopy and killed my appetite totally.

Yesterday (friday) was one of the worst pains of my life. i went to pee in the middle of the day, checked out my stuff down there. and i almost fainted at the sight... one goddamn testicle is like 3 times bigger than the other. I start to freak out, and i start looking up info online, and i get stupid fuckin answers like i have an STD or something. i refuse to think its an std, cuz that makes absolutely no sense, seeing what i had done that week. Unless i got an std by masturbating LOL. Anyways, my fiancee tells me to go to the ER. but fact is.... i have NEVER gone to the ER or doctor for anything in my whole life. i have a fear of doctors and hospitals. every health problem ive ever had, i dealt with on my own. im not here to make those fuckers money for any little thing that happens to me.

By the end of the night, my (left) testicle was about 4 times bigger than the right one. the pain was horrific, and i could only sleep one way. on my back (the most uncomfortable for me normally). I managed to finally go to bed, but kept waking up every once a while. i also had a mild fever, but has since went away. Now today... i wake up im able to actually get up without an intense pain, even though there is still pain its nowhere near as bad. i still cant walk comfortably, my testicle is still larger than the other... but i am hungry right now, and i feel like i can eat!

So has anyone ever experienced anything like this or know someone who has had something like this happen to them? Im really nervous that i have damaged something, or that it may get worse.... i will go to the doctor on Tues if its not better by then, as much as it will freak me out. Im a little scared still, but i have some hope because the pain is not as bad as yesterday. Sorry my story was too long. =(

I know that you dislike doctors and whatnot, but if it was a matter of either losing a testicle (or worse) versus overcoming that dislike and going to a health professional to get it sorted out, then I know what I'd choose.

The muscle pain is probably just severe DOMS after that workout, should have cleared up about 90% and although you might have some lingering soreness, you should be able to move about and have fully restored range of motion.

I'm still a bit nervous on your behalf about your testes though. I wouldn't try and give myself a haircut (except if I was shaving it down), there's no way I'd trust a self diagnosis over the internet; but I've been pretty good with doctors and stuff so I'm not in the same boat as you.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

Sorry but that is the dumbest thing I have read on the internet all week.... and I have visited some stupid arse sites. Do you not go to the shops for food in case you make them money? Unless you plan to correct things down stairs with your pocket knife, just fucking man up and go to the ER before you are for ever known as "Lone Stone".

It is possible that you have a hernia (piece of your bowel pushed into your nut sack after straining during your weights) or you may have twisted your vas deferns (the cord that your balls hang off). If it's the last one you can cut off the blood supply to your testicles and will lose your ball if you delay too long.

Go to the doctor. Seriously. Is your sexual health really going worth taking chances over? I would rather trust the expertise of a trained doctor over the opinions of people on an online forum. Don't waste time posting here; go get checked out, please!

Oh, and once you're feeling better, report back and let us know that you're alright, and then have a look at this related BL reading.

This sounds like it could be a testicular torsion. Its a very serious condition which can result in the death of testicle. The fact that the pain is intensifying would point to this. Get it looked at ASAP!!!

I too feel great hesitance to ever go to the doctor or the hospital, but it sounds to me like your case merits a visit... A pain that gets worse over four days seems serious, I don't know anyone who has ever experienced something like that.
