Pain around my right testicle
I am extremely embarrassed to ask about this sort of problem, especially regarding the activity prior to the onset of this issue, and I do not regularly see a physician (I only recently received health insurance). I am hoping that I did not cause myself lasting harm and that the problem will eventually go away on its own, but it would be foolish to not ask anyone, so I am hoping that someone here will be able to shed some light on why I am feeling the pain that I am.
I have an anal masturbation toy with a relatively large "knot" toward the end of the base. I had used this toy several times before, but I had never attempted to insert the knot completely, as it was on the larger side for me (2 in. diameter and 6.8in circumference at its largest), but I had been working up to fully inserting it. I guess I was feeling a bit impatient (and foolish) and decided that it would be alright to force it just a little bit, but as soon as I did so, I immediately felt a pain somewhere in the right side of my testes. I stopped and haven't used the toy since, but this must have happened about 2-3 weeks ago.
I am still having a dull, aching pain in that area, but I do not think that it is my testicle itself, as it does not appear swollen and does not hurt to touch. It feels a little more internal, and while I can't say for certain where the source of it is, my guess would be the vas deferens or epididymus. It seems like it would be the prostate, but I feel the pain more towards my testicle than anything.
The pain itself is not constant but seems to come and go, although some activities seem to aggravate it, or at least make it more noticeable. After working out (only push-ups and the like, no weights) and after masturbating normally (not anally) are two examples that I know of. Another thing is that after an orgasm, my right testicle seems to rise toward my body, but this is the sort of thing that I only began noticing after I had a problem to bring my attention to it, so I don't know if it is part of the issue or if I am just over-worrying.
I am very anxious about this and I am worried that I caused myself permanent damage. If I have to I will, but I would really prefer not to ask a doctor about this issue. I am 19 and am still under the insurance of my mother, who will want to know why I am going to see a doctor. Just knowing what is or might be wrong will bring at least some assurance to me, and I would be very grateful for any advice or suggestions.
