Hi All.
I am very pleased to have found this site to see other people are having simular symptoms as myself. Also I will add that whilst I fell very down its very clear that there are many on here that are in a worse place than myself.
about 4 months ago a dull pain developed in my left testical on the left hand side of it. Doctor gave me cipro thinking Prostatis. it did not work.Uroligist gave me cipro and Doxicycline with Naproxen. they have not worked. back to the Doctor and he has given me a course of doxicycline for another 2 weeks. they are not working. had an Ultrasound and all clear. Had blood tests and urine tests and they are all clear. in now experiancing pains in my stomach and my side. feels like a stich sometimes in the side. this can also spread to the kidney area to. i am taking Gabapentin to. just wondering if anyone has had simular and found a cure. is it an infection? is it a damaged nerve? kind thanks.

in the mean time get some olive leaf extract and start taking that ASAP...get tested ASAP. Like @Elduque Said you need to be on an antiviral. Shingles is a herpes family of virus.
i hope this helps...get tested for Herpes family.

The pain I have has died down, but the dull pain occasionally comes and goes.

Hi folks.
I've been looking for answers for years. Massive pain in my left testicle. Pain in my lower abdomen. And legs. Comes in waves. Sound identical to what a lot of you guys have been through. I'm 39. Vasectomy 8 years ago. All clear on blood tests.doc gave me antibiotics. They gave me thrush. Anti fungal have me mouth ulcers. Still in pain. Penis more sensitive than normal and burns a little when passing urine. Urologist says just take pain killers. Scan shows small nothing to worry about cists. I'm fed up with it. Seems you lot are too. Docs tomorrow
.. again. I'll post if there's any breakthroughs!!!

Fellas!
I posted here a while ago with the exact same problems went through the full body mot ultrasounds and all....no joy.
I found the answer (for me anywho, I hope this helps you guys) .
I have been going to a Chiropractor. Told him my problems. He came to the same conclusion as the physio "symphysis pubis dysfunction". To be honest I laughed his diagnosis off initially because he said many men don't get testicle discomfort I was describing and that was the reason I was referred to him.
Either way the chiropractor went down the same root, we did some stretches/cracking of my lower spine and around pelvis/hips etc... he gave me some exercises to do at home which I thought was a load of rubbish but I persisted every night after work.
I've been to the chiropractor 4 times in total and we never really started getting into the cracking till the 3rd time I saw him because it slowly started getting less and less I now have not noticed it for over a week and a half. Not even a tingle.
Again look into Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction ...common in pregnant women and male athlete's (I do no exercise at all in very lazy so just go with it)
I hope this helps lads.
Any questions give me a reply.
All the best.

Note: Breathing through the burning stretch feeling really helps and the strain slowly goes.
10 reps for all.
1) Sit in a chair, back straight, feet firmly planted. Get a soft football (kids foam type) put it between your knees.
Squeeze the ball for 10 secs. Then release for 5 secs but not letting the ball drop.
2) Lay on the floor with your legs straight up against a wall, with your butt up against the wall (like L-Shaped with the heels of your feet facing the ceiling).
Slowly letting your legs go relaxed and moving in a V-shape and go as far as you can. When you feel the stretch breath through it you can lay like this up to 5 mins if you can. Then feet back together. Do as many as you can holding v shaped as long as you can.
3) Lay on the floor with your heels planted...knees up. Slowly bring one knee to your chest then use your hands to draw it even closer. Hold for 5 secs and slowly release. Do the same with the other leg. Then do the same again but when your knee is at your chest, let that knee roll to the side exposing your inner thigh and hold. If you feel the strain breathe through it. It will pass.
All the best with overcoming this nightmare.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.. i am in soo much pain that im contemplating suicide. ive had this pain for over a year now. left testicle pain, and left leg nerve pain and lower abdominal pain. i have been to every doctor you could think of and all tests came back normal. tried antibiotics, tried epidurals, tried chiropractors. only chiro helped slightly. i was stabbed in 2012 and almost died, maybe that is causing something. no doctor has been able to help me, i am suffering tremendously and my quality of life is really bad. ive spent all my money on doctors with no luck and havent been able to work as hard because of the debilitating pain. the only thing that somewhat helps is hot baths. please someone give me some advice. i pray that everyone on this discussion finds the help they need and relief from their pain. please if anyone has ANY ADVICE that could possibly help me please reply!

Hi Austin, I had left testicle pain for many months and it is overwhelming. My uro told me it was epididymitis and that it would eventually go. (When he examined me, he pinching the epididymis area and I nearly jumped off the table!! One thing he did say was to ejaculate regularly. I was taking ibuprofen 400mg every 4-6 hours at its worst, and it only eased things a bit. I'm now feeling a lot better - still get mild pain first thing in the morning - but only 1 out of 10 now really, whereas it was 8-9/10 at its worst. I also found that briefs were more comfortable than boxer shorts. On a sunshine holiday in August this year, I noticed wearing swimming shorts made the pain far worse with everything swinging out! One guy on the video website - Gary Crowley - has posted some videos regarding testicle pain and exercises that can be tried. I read on this site about another sufferer who just wanted his testicle removed. That might be extreme, but it all else fails, it could perhaps remove your pain.
The pain is terrible but, as I've found out, it can wain and go. Hope you can find some help soon. Hang in there - as the old saying goes, 'When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on'!
Good luck mate.

After just over 5 years of sheer hell, 3yrs on palliative care doses of morphine and the hell of withdrawal when they swapped meds out and a large recent lift on pain I've finally got pain management to refer me to urology consultant to discuss radical bilateral orchiectomy.
They advised a month ago bar a ganglion of impar procedure (normally used post hysterectomy with great success) that they're now fully or of treatment options.
So on 29th Dec we'll be laying groundwork so that if ganglion procedure doesn't work then we can move to only option left quickly and then see my worst nightmare to come true.
It is desperate but after 5 yrs of constant pain, no real sex, a shot testosterone level, a shot vitamin D level leading to osteopenia and facing a lifetime of other opiate meds then whilst it seems like a desperate choice, the reality is all my choices were removed when I had that bloody vasectomy.
I hurt too much physically, mentally & emotionally to keep going like this, so I'm pinning huge hopes on this ganglion procedure.
All this because we were told safe, simple procedure - never have i wanted to turn the clock back so much and never have i wanted to plead so much against any man putting himself through a vasectomy.
It's not painful when it goes wrong / PvP..it's life altering & devastating pain....the sort you can't really imagine

So it sounds like you're going through something similar that I'm going through, I'm coming up on almost exactly one year since my girlfriends dog stepped on my left testicle while I was sleeping in bed.. have been dealing with constant non stop pain throughout the day and even worse at night when I have nothing to distract my mind from it.. been to a GP and got an ultrasound to check for torsion about nine months ago but everything looked normal for the most part, i don't think they scanned high enough up though around my bladder area I have what appears to be some sort of a scar tissue or lumpy mass just above the testicle and I'm thinking he stepped on the cords above the testicle and not the testicle itself, either way my pain will fluctuate from pain some days to burning sensation others to a constant sense of feeling like I need to go pee, I've noticed drinking any type of coffee or energy drinks or any bladder stimulants make the sensation much worse.. I'm scared to go in and spend a lot of money at a urologist bc I fear I will spend all this money and possibly surgery and still end up with the same pain and getting no where.. it has affected my quality of life as I'm constantly unable to get a good nights sleep and my sex drive has taken a significant hit bc I seem to flare up shortly after ejaculation around the injured area and the pain will last hours to days... this past 2 weeks the pain has literally not gone away at all and I'm not even masturbating but once a week now and I've been in constant dull/burning pain
