Hello everyone, my name's andrew. I'm a 19 year old male from the beautiful state of Washington.
The reason I've come to the internet for help is because no one else can diagnose my ongoing problems. The pain started about 50 days ago during a run that I religiously have done for 2 years (about 6+ miles). It occurred during the middle of my run, and stayed with me until it was over. I pinpointed that the pain was coming from my pelvic
. The pain slowly died off, and went away that night, and I was able to completely forget about it.
The next day I decided to run the same run again. This was definitely a mistake, for the pain came back almost immediately, but me being the strong young lad I am decided to push through the pain, and enjoy my run. Enjoy I did not for the pain only got worse throughout the run. That night the pain was quite bad, and it stayed with me throughout the night. The following day I noticed that the pain was pretty much gone, or very slightly noticeable, but I was too scared to attempt to do any exercise.
After the second episode I decided to lay off the running for awhile, and take things easy, at least until the weekend which happened to be bumbershoot weekend (music festival). Like every other year at this festival I decided to get inebriated every day (alcohol). This didn't prove to be a problem, that is until the last day when everything seemed to go wrong, but before I mention that day I must also mention how me and my girlfriend had sex
in my friends car. This was the first time she had been on top, which I believe might have caused trauma, and explains why I felt the pain I'm about to describe to you the last day of the event.
The last day was about as terrible as it could have been. We both ate marijuana
cookies that I had purchased from a salesgirl in the festival. I don't know if the cookies were actually strait up THC, but they sure tasted green. Unfortunately my girlfriend really freaked out after eating these cookies, and had to be escorted out of the concert via ambulance. For sure this was the end to our 2 month relationship, a fact that didn't exactly role smoothly off my head
. I decided to stay and watch modest mouse and franz ferdinand, while she was being picked up by her mother at the hospital. This is when the terrible pain erupted.
While I was watching franz ferdinand I started to consider the fact that me and my girl had rubbed our genitallia against one another’s in the car the day before, and I was overcome by fear that I might have contracted an STD. This fear sparked a terrible sharp pain that emitted throughout my shaft (nagging, and at times sharp), and stayed with me throughout the concert, as well as a feeling of dread, due to the fact that I'd lost my sexy girl. The pain slowly went away that night, and I was able to fall asleep in somewhat peace.
The next day I noticed that the pain I'd felt during my run had returned. Right next to my pelvic region the pain was dull and aching. This pain seemed to increase greatly whenever I did any sort of exercise, but it wasn't there when I wasn't active. Needless to say this was very alarming for I was faced with the fact that I would be unable to exercise until this pain had deceased, but it didn't. The dull pain stayed, and seemed to get worse whenever I drank alcohol, smoked weed, or exercised.
Quickly I decided that I needed to see a doctor, which lead to me taking an STD test for Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea, but both these tests turned out negative. No STD's, which was a relief, but it didn't explain my pain. I suspected I might have Herpes, mainly because I'd been feeling slight penile discomfort, but my doctor assured me that he didn't think this was a possibility.
Now, about 45 to 50 days since the run I'm still feeling slight penile discomfort. It doesn't seem to get worse when I urinate, but it doesn't feel normal when I urinate (since about 4 days ago after the pop, which I’m about to describe). I've also come down with other symptoms that I can't explain that started happening about 4 days ago when I smoked pot and took an alive for my backpain. This combination seemed to not mix well for it sparked an intense pain (burning) in my lower abdomen that lasted for about ten minutes. It was burning, and it was damn near unbearable. I tried to get my mind off of the pain by going upstairs and talking to my grandma, that's when I was struck with a completely different pain that hadn't affected me throughout my month long hiatus.
While I was standing in my kitchen my heart was racing and I was watching television, that's when I noticed a pop like feeling within my head. This caused me to double take, and forced me to consider rather it had really happened or not. Freaked out I was, which caused me to consider ways in which I could calm myself down, so I decided to take a shower to get my head off the moment. While in the shower I noticed that pain was being emitted from the region where the pop originated, which quickly turned into a bad headache. The combination of my bad headache and stoned head caused me to nearly lose it, and i fell into an out of body state of mind (as though I was tripping). This state of mind stayed with me throughout the day, until I finally passed out (I was scared to pass out).
The next day I woke up with a headache, which stayed with me throughout the day. Once again I decided that it was necessary to go to the doctors, and see how he was able to interpret my episode. No explanation was given, and I was left with nothing to base my pains on (headaches, penile discomfort, stomach ache). Also after my popping episode, I've been experiencing unbelievably realistic dreams. Some quite disturbing, but quite lifelike.
This morning after waking up from a very vivid dream I noticed that I felt as though I was quite stimulated. As though I had taken a low dose of ADHD medication (Adderall (adderrall)). This really boggled me, considering I don't take it very often, and it had been over 10 days since I'd done it last, but something told me that I knew how I triggered this feeling. This is what I found most strange. After waking up, I began to get another headache, and a minor stomach ache. This is all going on while I'm still experiencing pain near the pelvic area. I must mention that the pain has decreased, but I still haven't done any sort of exercise, besides what I must do at work.
I did get an ultrasound of the region where I'm experiencing pain near the pelvic region, and the test came up clean. The doctor thought I might have an hernia. negative
What is wrong with me!?! I'm in damn near perfect shape. Almost have a six pack. Haven’t really lost much definition since I've stopped working out, but I have lost some.
Sound like herpes?
Also worth noting is the fact that the pain experienced during the run was precursored by a summer of continuous drinking, but I was still able to work out regularly, and maintain a healthy shape.
Note; my back seemed to hurt more than usual the next 2 days after the pop.
One more note is the fact that I did experience an episode similar to the bumbershoot episode at school a month after the first. It was as though I needed to ****, but couldn't get it all out, and it was terribly uncomfortable. Forced me to leave class. Although it didn't last long. 30 min
Please help!!!
I'm desperate, and I fear I could fall into deep depression if things don't get better.
