Thought I was Going to DIE.....

[kc261]

My first thought reading your post was kidney stone. Those can be extremely painful, and the pain can start and stop very suddenly. If it passed, you might never have an issue with it again. But some people, for reasons I don't know, have a tendency to get them, so you might get one again. If that is even what it was.

Other thoughts... if you were in pain that bad... why did you drive yourself? That is dangerous!

Also this probably just reveals that I'm a female that has no real idea about these things, but I interpreted your statement about feeling like you got kicked in the testicle as a metaphor to explain the intensity of the extreme amount of pain you were feeling. Other people seem to be taking it more literally. But would you feel that in your stomach?

Since it might be something serious, I'd at least consult with a doctor about it. Explain to the doctor as you did to us that you don't want a lot of tests done for nothing. If the doctor seems to think there is a concern and still wants to do tests, then you can at least listen to his/her reasons and make a decision from there.

Lesson time! Most people don't know this, but for some reason we learned about it in health.
As you know, every fetus starts out with the genetic plan of a female, the Y chromosome changes that and switches everything to male. However, when the Y chromosome takes effect is NOT right away, therefore the testicles were already starting to be formed as ovaries. They immediately changed and moved to a new route to become man parts. However, what was left behind was the nervous system connected to that region. They were first made to be like an internal organ (which ovaries are) act like an internal organ, and FEEL like an internal organ. What I'm getting at is that if a man gets kicked in his testicles, the message sent to the brain is not the same as being kicked in the shin. The message indicates you were kicked in an INTERNAL ORGAN. Which obviously would not be pleasant and oftentimes numbs or causes a shooting pain on that entire side of the body. :]

So basically, ouch. Sound familiar boys?
Sorry if that was illegal for me to explain or something. D: I just don't see a problem with talking about that kind of stuff.

Please make sure you go and get this checked, even if the pain was gone he may be able to get a clue what happened by your description and details of the pain.
We can't loose you!

my testes are pretty big like grapefruit, so sometimes just walking around hurts...but it sounds like it could be a number of things, go see a dr.

That sucks Patty. I still would have gone to the hospital and been like wtf is wrong with my garbage.

Hope the baby makers are all good bro.

Sounds like testicular torsion.
One of my sons had this happen when he was about 12 years old. By the time they choppered him to the mainland (we lived on an island) the twist had untwisted and further action was required. It has not re-occurred with him.
If this is indeed what happened with you, I hope it does not re-occur. The doctor likened it to labor pains a woman has; however, it was a male doctor so I'm not certain how he knows this...

I don't think this is true. So far as I know there are no internal organs that have nerve endings capable of transmitting pain.

Any doctor types care to clear that up? Thanks.

And Pattimus, if it hurts that much, you're doing it wrong.

Seriously.

Well, I dont know if its nerve endings or what- but SOMETHING sure as hell hurts when I'm on my period- to the point where it will make me puke (I'm not going into detail as to why, but there is a medical reason for it).. That may have been a bit TMI, but my point is, it can still hurt!!
