Pain in testicle, lower back, and stomach
Hi,
When I run/jog or work out hard for more than 10 minutes, I begin to experience a dull ache in one or both of my testicles, which then develops into sharper, shooting pains for up to an hour after I have finished running. About a year ago, my doctor diagnosed me with Epididymitis (swelling of the tube on the back of the testicle) on my right side and I took Ciprofloxacin (500mg twice a day for 10 days) and the very severe pains went away. My doctor also said the pain in my lower back when I run might be due to sciatica - swelling of a major nerve that runs from the lower back into the leg. He told me to take ibuprofen after my workouts if it still bothered me, and I've been doing that off and on. But still, most of the time when I run, I continue to get the dull ache and it usually develops into tenderness in one or both of the testicles. It doesn't matter whether I wear breifs, boxer-briefs, or boxers. Running is supposed to be good for you, but it really is getting to the point where it almost doesn't seem like it's worth it. Also, I don't want to do any permanent damage to my testicles or other reproductive organs, because this really seems like it's something that shouldn't be happening on a regular basis. Does anyone know what could be causing it, and if it can be caused by something by sciatica, and if it can cause permanent damage? Thank you for your help!

Hi All,
I am 39, and I have been researching on this topic thourougly, and I finally found something that makes sense. I signed up to this sight today in spite that I find a lot of you that are going through this, I thought I was alone, and I am very concerned. Thank you for posting your experience with these symptoms.
I first RAN into these symtoms before my 20's and back then i was seen, by my general Dr. a urologist, and I even saw a gynocologist. I also found blood in my urine. I was told back then that I had a tract infection and excessive calcium crytals(took vitamn C) were causing the rupture of my urethra, that was were the blood came from. I was treated with antibiotics and cured. But it has come in my mid 20's, at 31, at 38 and recently a month ago. I did not have testicle pains the first time, it was very , very mild almost none, this outbreak includes the lower back pain, and lower right leg pain.the pain crawls, from my testicles upto my lower back on the right side. I have had the tingling sensation, the burning sensation and the stabbing pain also.
Do any of you workout regularly, even with these symptoms or do you guys stop? Hernias a usually related to lifting a weight o a bad posture while lifting something heavy. I feel healthy and have an unformal workout rutine, that means, I don't have a trainer or do I go by a book with a written number to hit. I have to say I am a very demanding when it comes to being in shape, I am not a bodybuilder, but battling with these symptoms, tend to throw me out. All the symptoms that were posted under this thread I have suffered. I have also considered Acupunture. I would like to know, if you guys think that there might be a relation with unbalanced energy in the body? I believe in alternative medicine but have not tried anything yet.
I am confused and concerned, some of the articles I have read also relate to cancer nad that freaks me out.
Thanks for sharing your experiences,
JC

Hey.. if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Im 22 yrs old. Ive had 3 inguinal hernia surgeries. My last hernia repair was 6 months ago. I have been sexually active up until 3 months ago. My testicles have become more reddish and when I masterbate it seems more difficult to get a full erection. This cant be Testicular Atrophy can it??
Anyone have swollen left chest/breast area in relation to swollen left side epididymistis ?-----also,anyone familiar with "DES"..thanks
lol okay brother
I am THE BRAIN, i just received my next sharp painful experience with my epididymitis. ITS BAAAAAAAAAAAACK . just went to a doc and got some vicodines and some antibiotics for the infection. i also strongly believe that it is a case of backed up sperm that causes infection. i like to have sex once a day but i haven't in a week and BAAM it hits all of a sudden when i was lifting something heavy (once again). but it is a very common deal so don't trip out. we need to just live with it and give the lump a name like i did. GL to all you sore nutted compadres. My father had it too but it was just a dull pain and he feels it come on when he does vigorous running. We just need to baby our nuts. We are healthy young men with swollon nuts, that's all. Get some antibiotics and some vicodine and take some time off work. For treatment, if you dont have insurance, i suggest going to a walk in clinic and when getting your scripts make sure to ask them if they 'MATCH" prices so you will pay the smallest amount possible for your antibiotics. make sure to get 'generic' everything too. I'll keep you updated on my next shot of pain, ice on the nuts helps too. peace.
Well i got tested for STD's and my testicle pain has been moving from left to right, and i was given azithromycin for chlmydai and azpo-ciproflox fro gonorrhea, but i had taken the meds wdnesday at 5pm and my testicles are still in pain
IM worried
does anyone have any idea when the pain should stop
