Left testicle, leg, and buttocks pain

I'm a 27 yo male who is who has been experiencing intermittant pain in left testicle, leg, lower abdomen, and buttocks.  Onset was sudden.  These symptoms began 2.5 months ago.  Blood, urine, swab tests came back negative for any STD (I have not engaged in sexual activity in over 6 months).  My PCP thought it was epididymitis, so he prescribed Floxicin for 10 days-pain did not subside.  This was followed up by two hernia examinations that were negative.  I began to notice that the pain in these areas would increase following running or situps.  So I went to see a sports physician.  X-ray and MRI were unremarkable for strain, growths, impingement, etc in leg, hip, and lower abdomen.  I'm now back to thinking that this is epididymitis and that I didn't take Floxicin long enough to see results.  I'm not sure what I should do next?  What do these symptoms sound like? Thanks-NNRC

Hey,

I've had these EXACT symptoms for the past while and i've been afraid to go to a doc. to get checked out( i know, i know). But I must say, i'm extreamly relieved to have not seen the word cancer mentioned in this thread. I recently had a friend pass away from leukemia and I had it in my head that my symptoms could be the result of some sort of cancer. I'm not throwing the possibility out the window, it's just somewhat of a relief. But what the hell could be causing this? I have pain in my testicles...mainly my left, but sometimes both, lower back pain, pain in my abdomen and hips and sometimes in my legs and groin. I work a pretty physically demanding job and it always seem to "flare up" after working a shift. Also, some one mentioned something about sitting for extended periods. 90% my job involves driving a forklift through a very bumpy yard and i'm constantly bouncing around. Could this be a possible cause? Anyhoo, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Doug

Hey everyone in this group. I've had lower back problems for the past 25 years. there have been times when I would twist a certain way and my left testicle would hurt so bad that I couldn't even walk right. after a couple of years of putting up with this I found if I twisted my back like when you put your hands on your hips and twist the top part of your body and let it swivel at the hips the pain would go away. later in life I hurt my back by working in landscaping and I went to a chiropracter and he shared with me that the third vertibre also housed nerves that went to my reproductive system etc. i am also right now enduring a left testicle soreness and it is also coming with lower back pain. I too am one that dislikes going to any doctor because I've recieve more hurt than help from them. I've researched a little on the web and have found out that cancer is not painful in the testicles but any lump or bump should be checked out. I had a friend that just told me the other day that he had testicle pain too and believe it or not he too has had some lower back pain lately. I hope this helps and I'll check back to see if anyone has found help

A lot of this sounds very similar to what I've been going through for the last 13 months. Dr's say nothing is wrong with me. It all started with lifting a 500lb+ patient(I'm a fireman) in an unusual way. Except for the loose bowels I've got all the symptoms shown. MRI, CT, Bone scan, and X-ray's all negative. They have not performed any of the pelvic manipulation tests yet. Here is the link:

I also have been bothered by recurring left testicle and abdominal pain. When one pain occurs it is always accompanied by the other. I made a visit to the doctor back in July.  My blood was tested and I had an xray of my lower abominal.  I was treated with anti biotic medicantion and the doctor said he would call if anything showed up in the tests.  Well he didn't call and I thought the problem was fixed until lately it started recurring again. Last Wednesday I went to see another doctor. I had blood work did again and also I had a CT scan and an untrasound of my testicles. My pain re occoured on Friday and again on Sunday. On my nest appointment I'm hoping to learn what is wrong with me.  I will let everyone know the results.
