Intermittent Pain in my back and testicle throughout the day

Offline FoxxAdam over 4 years ago

Hello,

I have an intermittent pain in my lower back and testicle throughout the day also when I lay down at night it seems to get ever so slightly worse.

When I am sitting down it's rarely a problem.

I've also checked Mt testicles and I don't think I can feel any abnormalities

Should I be worried?

Sounds like a back issue. Whether that be muscular or a disc issue. Pain can go to the testicles, groin, down your leg, to your knee etc etc.
If it's really bothering you, go to a gp, then get physio. However, NHS physio is underwhelming. They aren't hands on at all and just send you away with a piece of paper with exercises. Exercises are good, but sometimes hands on can really improve things. But that's usually restricted to private physio.
