Left Testicular and Left Leg Pain
Posted , 12 users are following.
Im in my mid 20s. I have been suffering from testicular and leg pains for almost 4 years now, and I have not find a way to treat these issues. My left testicle started hurt suddenly with a sharp pain. I went to my family medicine and diagnosed as epididymitis (I wasn't sexually active). So my doctor prescribed a doxycycline (antibiotic) and 600 mg of ibuprofen. After taking this medicine somehow the pain went away. Every time, pain comes back randomly, I got a same prescription, but the pain started to spread into my left leg, inner thigh, and center of my left bottom foot. It get's worse when I walk and sometimes I get pins and needles around tesicular area which makes me think it's a problem with the nerves. Sometimes the pain doesn't relate to how much I'm moving though, it can just randomly get bad, I actually first experienced the pains while laying in bed. I feel like sitting on the chair makes it worse. Since doxycycline did not work, I went to different doctor and prescribed a GABAPENTIN because he thought that lumber scoliosis ( the X-ray from 6 years ago shown minor scoliosis) causing a pinched nerve. At same time, this new doctor recommend chiropractic to adjust my scoliosis. I went to chiropractic for 8 month (which didn't help with pain) while taking GABAPentin. GABAPENTIN DOES reduce the pain, but it does not treat or cure the leg and testicular pain. I also had ultrasound 3 times (2 from family medicine 1 from urology) and diagnosed that I have tiny kidney stone on the left kidney, but doctor told me this size of kidney stone does not cause any problem or pain. Urologist told me that my left testicle is larger than right testicle (maybe this is a sign of varicocele?), but he said it is normal. Lastly, I took X-ray around my lumbar and sacrum area to see if there are any pinched nerve, but nothing was wrong.
What I realized is that when I put my pillow between my low back and upper hip for 15-20 minutes, it reduces the pain. My conclusion is either I have some kind of prostate problem (such as Benign prostatic hyperplasia because I have frequent urination and delay in starting urination) and varicocele. I really want to fix the problem and get rid of the pain. I'd be really grateful for any feedback, thanks.

I am replying here just for the benifit of so much pained people I read the posts about.
this problem comes due to poor blood flow in lower body due to lethargic lifestyle, frequent constipation and bad underwear. my friend had this problem and Yoga has clearly told the solution to lower body problems with few asanas. what he did and got ok is as follows:
this may or may not work for you. as a trial, next time it pains bad just do vir aasana for 5 minutes and see if it helps.

It sounds like a classic case of chronic Epiddiymitis my friend!

Here's a bit of an update on me. i had a scrotal and inguinal ultrasound done and i have a small hernia on the left side, so i have a surgical consult in a couple weeks to talk about that. but also they found a small vericocele on the right side of my scrotum, which is unusual, so i have to go get an abdominal ultrasound done to make sure there isn't a tumor or something cutting off the bloodflow. i have had trouble maintaining an erection lately so that's a little scary but we'll see what happens.
