pain in testes, tingling and numbness in leg

hi, for about 3 months now i have been suffering with pain in my testes. its first started as just a dull ache, like my balls were trying to go back up inside me. gradually the pain  got worse until one night i was taken to the emergancy department with all numbness and tingling in my legs. they did a few test but everything came back fine. the next day i went to my GP and was diagonsed with epitdermis and given a course of anti-biotics. the pain in my testes went away for a week or so but then came back again. the doctors gave me a second course of antibiotics which this time didnt do much at all. since then i have had an ultra sound for hernia which came back negitive, i had an ultrasound on my testes which show nothign abnormal. all my blood test and urine test came back clean. i have had a ct scan of my lumber spine which didnt show anythign either. i am currently waiting for my uroligist appointment which is in a few weeks. the doctors have pretty much said they dont know what to do next. there is so many ppl on these forums with similar syptoms but no one ever has come back with a conclusion. i am so desparate for answers, if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated
thanks.

Hi! There is a chance that you have compression of the spinal nerves in the lumbo-sacral spine region. This can happen due to overuse of the lower back as in work requiring too much of bending, lifting weight, fall on the back, overweight, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. A MRI of the spine will be definitely required and nerve conduction studies may also be needed. The treatment is to remove the compression. You have to discuss the best treatment option with a neurologist, which can range from medication to physiotherapy to traction, lumbar belts, lumbar corsets or even surgery.
Another possibility is like saddle neuralgia or Pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) in which the pudendal nerve (located in the pelvis) is entrapped or compressed. Pain is worsened by sitting, and there is a sense of a foreign object (constant urge to urinate) in the urethra. Prostatitis-like urogenital pain is the hallmark of pudendal neuropathy. Diagnosis is by diagnostic block, MRI, CT scan, and Pudendal Nerve Motor Latency Test (PNMLT).
Hope this helps. Take care!
