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.

    I had several left flank pain, mild left testicular and abdominal pain. Went to ER and was admitted for 3 days. It took a few attempts but the pain is now being controlled by keyorolac. Once the pain med wears off the pain becomes intense again. Had Ct scan and ultrasound done. They initially though stones but then switched to kidney infection. I am taking an antibiotic for it. Been about 1 week. I don't feel like I'm making progress and I don't feel like I've been properly diagnosed. No pain or blood in urine. No epydimitris. Please let me know if anyone has had a similar experience and what the diagnosis was

      Sounds exactly like what I had- Shingles. They put me on antibiotics for a week, when I should have been on an antiviral. Deep burning pain in left hip, flank, groin and back.

    I am also on gabapentin, seems to help most of the time. So why not all of the time?

    Hi, please help!

    Just 3-4 days ago I was lying down and had this shooting pain in my groin and penis. I didn't think much of it until I went to bed feeling discomfort.

    The next day I woke up and was fine, but then my groin started to hurt and didn't stop. I tried paracetamol, ibuprofen and co-codamol in that 24 hour period - yet the pin didn't subside.

    That night was really the worst night to sleep since any position wouldn't let me sleep comfortably due to the aching pain.

    Later on I found some discomfort in my left testicle. I thought it was just hurting because of too much moving but then realised most of the pain came from there. I did my own examination and I think the vein that connects the testicle to the penis (I don't know the right term) has gone bigger than my left - but I may be wrong if this is where the pain comes from.

    I try to take ibuprofen now and it has helped. My groin is not aching as much with my leg - think it's a muscle problem possibly.

    But it is my left testicle that is hurting now and I'm panicking. Please help!

      You should stop self medicating and see a doctor.

      I've booked one for next week. But This pain just occurred spontaneously that I had to ask.

      My urologist eventually put me on gabapentin. Helps most of the time. A few months into it I tried weaning off it and pain came back. If your dr. comes up with something new me and the other guys are interested.

      Good luck.

      If you look at my earlier post, I've had the same experience. The only thing a far that works has anti-inflammatory medications. When I stop taking them the symptoms return. Hoping for a solution that will treat the problem once and for all.

      Do see your physician to be sure that the ligament that holds your testicle in place has not torn away from the scrotal wall.

    Hey Guys, I went to the GP on Tuesday and she said that I may have epididymitis and she gave me anti-biotics called 'ciprofloxacin', and co codamol. 

    The pain is going down, but these should get rid of the pain till next Tuesday, otherwise she has to investigate further.

    I've been suffering with similar symptoms for 5 years.  Drs tested me for everything under the sun, put me on all the antibiotics you guys have mentioned.  Has anyone had any success with anything other than the ibuprofen?

      They haven't found anything wrong? 

      Maybe take 400g or 800g ibuprofen? A higher dose should help?

    HI guys.... i have identical symtoms (the only difference is that my dull pain starts on my right testicle and migrates to thelower right abdomen and sometimes the lower back (kidney area) .I have seen Urologist,Gastro doctor,regular doctor,infection doctor and nobody can find what is wrong  with me . 

    ​My pain comes in waves and seem to be worse in the evening and better in the morning (resting makes it better.) I have a feeling it is an infection as well since my neck gland feels swollen .

    I have been battling this for 3 months now .....still no answer to what it is. All my blood and urine test are always clear.

    Have anyone ever found what is the cause of this????

      Anything like varecocle or epididymitis? 

      I've just had this pain for 2 and a half weeks but the doc just says it's common and my urine test came back fine. 

      My lower abdomen aches.

      In addition, I feel a pressure/swollen pain after I ejaculate.

      I'm going to ask the doctor if I should be scanned, then subsequently they will give me some other type of medicine. 

      But if that doesn't work - I'll ask to go to a Urologist. 

      I really don't like this at the moment.

      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

I use to.the pain wen away bt came back last night am going to the doctor today as am concerned the pain was almost unbearable last night I was praying to fall asleep. Left testicle n left leg hurts

      Hello 

      I have similar symptoms, going to get an ultrasound of the abdomen today. My left abdominal pain is on n off, my doctor says I have anxiety. I’m confused by this, hopefully I get a solution. Did anyone find any? Please advise.

      My advice would be to wait it out. I’ve had it now for over 4 months and it seems to be going away. Just don’t aggravate the area much and distract yourself. 

      For the abdominal pain (which I also have) I have no idea what to do. Maybe it’s the same cord that affects the testicle?
