Pain in left testicle when sitting down

Hello, I am 19 years of age. These past two months I've been having ongoing testicle pain while sitting down, it's like a dull ache and it comes and goes. I've been to the doctors about it and I was told I might have something called "epididymitis". However I am so worried about it as i've taken one weeks worth of antibiotics to treat it and the pain is still there. I cant feel a lump whats so ever but it feels a bit sore to touch at the tube? of the testicle. I've had all blood tests and the GP felt my testicle and said it feels fine. Im just so worried, I just feel like i need some type of advice.

 

To add, ive been having lower back pain when sitting/laying down and I've been having to clear my throat of mucus, I recently went for an X-Ray on my chest to see if there was any anomalys but my lungs were fine.

  • Hello I am 27 and I have a similar story, with pain in my right testicle when I sit down, yet related to varicose veins. 

    I have varicose veins on both my legs, and over the last year or so I occassionally felt pain in my right testicle when I sat down with tighter shorts / trousers / underwear. Pain occured about every 2 weeks. I went to check if I had varicocele by an ultrasound scan about a year ago and nothing was found. The doctor inspected and also couldnt find anything. 

    I was strongly convinced that this pain must be related to the varicose veins, which are slowly getting worse with age, as so was the pain in the testicle becoming more frequent. So I decided to get the vein in my right leg removed. 

    2 days ago I had the varicose veins removed in my right leg (using a local anestetic, local injections around the vein and a lazer to burn it out). Vein removed from knee up to the groin area.  I had hoped that this would help with the tesicular pain, however it has done the opposite. Now, every time I sit down I feel pain in my right testicle. I went to the A&E last night for a doctor to see it (in case it was a post surgery blood clot or something) yet I was just told to take some pain killers and go home. Urine sample was clear and nothing was found.

    Although the foot and leg will probably feel a lot better due to the operation, I deeply regret doing it as it has worsened the testicle pain. It is only 2 days after the surgery, I hope that this pain will gradually leave.

    I have a desk job so I am also deeply concerned how things will be when I return to work. 

    I hope this will help anyone in a similar situation who is considering surgery. And thank you guys for sharing, im glad to hear that Im not alone in this. 

  • Hi,

    I'm so sorry to hear about all the discomfort and pain you have had to deal with recently. 
    I hope that will time things will calm down for you and improve. Pain is such a difficult thing as it is something that can't be seen so others around us find it difficult to understand. It's good to know like you said you are not alone in this!
