Hi, first post here.
The last few months I’ve been getting aches/pains in either my testicles and/or groin area. I have no injury. It’s not every day, in fact sometimes I can go several days without any symptoms. I have self-examined and can’t feel any lumps. Other symptoms worth mentioning; the aches/pains are sometimes accompanied with a tummy ache. I’ve also been getting some random pelvic pains, by random I mean they are often in different places each time (but still pelvic region). Another symptom that may or may not be connected is about 2 months ago I had some collarbone pain. Again, no injury. It actually woke me up one night.
Fast forward to today and I saw a doctor for the first time regarding these symptoms. Initially he was going to prescribe antibiotics (!) as he said I may have an inflamed testicle. He then examined me in case it was a hernia, but felt no lumps or bumps in groin area. He then got me (whilst lying down) to rotate my legs, presumably to see if it caused any pelvic pain - it didn’t. He then changed his mind about the antibiotics. Now I have to see a physiotherapist in a few weeks, and he’s also referring me for an ultrasound. Going by the current state of the NHS god knows when this will be.
Anyway, has anyone here had/got testicular cancer and do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
Many thanks for taking the time to read this. By the way, I’m 52 years old.
