1:30 am I was woken by feeling that I'd been kicked in the balls. I've had this before but not so bad. My doctor said that it was probably some infection causing inflammation last time.
Everything checks out: No hot spots, no lumps, no swelling, just really painful tubelets. Last time I made him have a grope to double check for bollock cancer. They are ordinary bollocks, I'm pleased to say.
Ibuprofen in the night plus Tramacet let me sleep again at least after about 90 minutes, but boy does it hurt still!
I'm walking like John Wayne, and my head is totally fuddled from the opiate like effects of the Tramacet. It took me 90 minutes to update the site with three simple stories today!
I rather feel for e's puppies when they hit puberty.

You haven't contracted mumps, Timmy?

I imagine it would be more than ball-ache?

Ouch! If you feel like my puppies when they hit puberty, I definitely feel for you. Oddly, I was also experiencing some pain down there about the time I started writing the story. I also had the doctor give me a quick feel and everything was fine. It was more of a dull ache, though I too walked a little gingerly from time to time. It lasted about six weeks and the best we (my Dr and I) could come up with was that I was sleeping with mine between my legs and they were being mashed overnight. I changed positions slightly and within a couple weeks everything was back to normal.
Think good thoughts,
e

Well, really just the right one. Apart from getting over the acute stage with ibuprofen (inflammation) and tramacet (floaty pain med) this has got no better. So I looked it up online.
It seems that inflamed balls and inflamed epididimis can also be linked to inflamed prostate (or can cause it), and lead to many nasty complications. So I am taking my scrotum to the doctor just as soon as they let me in through the door.
I'm walking like John Wayne, but putting the horse back there woudl be very uncomfortable!
The testicle/epididimis combination is about 150% of the size of the other one. It seems to be epididimis because that is hard as a pebble and the other side is soft.
Now, a question for you:
How often do you have a good firkle round feeling your own bollocks for unusual things? Do you know what to look for?

I check about very six or eight weeks, after a warm bath when everything is relaxed. I'm looking for anything "unusual", but specifically anything either tender or a hard lump.
I do also gently massage my right testicle for quite long periods from time to time: part of my disability is trapped and squashed nerves, and one of the nerves that gets squashed is the one that serves the testicle and groin. Net result is that when things get bad it often feels as though I've been kicked in the right ball, even though it's actually pressure on the nerve where it enters the spine. A gentle massage of the apparently-affected area helps, by providing a contradictory nerve message.
Sympathies on your problem - sounds really unpleasant!

Dear Timmy,
I do hope that can be fixed soon. It sounds horrible.
In answer to your question: I don't think I ever do a specific hunt around looking for anything. I wouldn't know what to look for except a lump.
But I have a shower every morning and occasionally wear a cockring and just putting that on and taking it off would soon reveal any swelling or lump.
Love,
Anthony

Just come back from the quack with mega antibiotics. This is less than pleasant. Why some folk compress their bollocks for pleasure is quite beyond me!
Pass me the epidural!

Well this is still unamusing. With the left one the size of a nutmeg and the right one the size of a tennis ball sitting, standing and lying down is all rather painful.

Now I do realise that no-one cares. No-one seems to care about this board at the moment, after all.
But for those who are interested, it still hurts, but is now close to golf ball sized.

Really I was thinking that folk seem to have abandoned the board, at least for the moment. My balls seem to be a symptom!

I'm sorry Timmy but ever since reading of your ailment, I have been holding onto both of my balls and wincing in pain at the thought.
It's very much like watching a movie with your friends and a guy up on the screen gets whacked in the balls. It seems that every one in the theater grabs their jewels in sympathy for the guy that just got whacked.
My back went out this past week, so even if the pain is in a different place, I can still sympathise,
Hope you feel better soon and the 'twins' return to equal size and your pain goes away.

Or for pain!
I have to say that e really put me off when puppy got whacked in the balls. Reading about it is unpleasant enough. Having the pain without the rest of the frisson is just unfair!
Love,
Anthony

Hahaha! Yup. Though I must admit I can find no way of understanding those who like ball torture.

It does rather give an ache in the groinal region. I don;t recommend it at all! 1:30am tomorrow it will have been a week of being kicked in the balls by a mule.
Where do they train these mules?

Oh joy of joys. I am at the end of the antibiotics, so I went back to the doctor. There's now a rock hard lump in the collection of little tubelets, so I am awaiting an appointment for a scan at the hospital.
It's not 100% pain free at this stage.

I wish you good luck with the scans. May they find nothing bad. I will be thinking of you while you wait for the result.
Good luck Timmy.

Well, I own a pair. Even if one has to be removed it really is not a big deal.
The main thing is to act fast when things go wrong.
Thanks for the good wishes.

My thoughts and prayers go with you Timmy. Being no stranger to pain and worry, I hope everything works out for the best and you can get some rest from all the worry and relief from the pain.
If you stand for Freedom, but you wont stand for war, then you dont stand for anything worth fighting for.

Hugs you. It's more that it hurts and I feel ill. It's only a testicle. Even if I lose both I can have testosterone shots, so none of this is a truly big deal. The question is "do I have the prosthesis or not" assuming it has to go. No idea on that one.
