Worried

Hello to all 

 

I am 29 years old verry worried because i might have a testicular cancer. I have almost all the symptoms and i fit in all risk factors( undescended testicle, age, race,..)

 

It all started about 5-6 days ago with testicular pain on the right side. Pain is almost always there and it increases when i sit for a long time or when i walk. The pain itself is not very sharp but its definetely very dusturbing. The only time i dont feel it is in the middle of the night when i wake up and maybe first couple of hours in the morning. 2 days ago i developed some groin and pelvic discomfort(same side) and its gets worse with walking. I also have lower back and leg discomfort on the same side, but that was there for months. I dont even know how to describe this but the worst is when i try to sleep i just cant find the right position for my right leg(every time i move it it feels like it was there for hours even though its totally new position).

 

I also have some late stage TC symptoms like headaches, shortness of breath(it might be anxiety), chest tightness and so on.

 

I have ultrasound in 4 days but what do you think? 

 

Thanks

  • Welcome to the forum Shd77 although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    It's always a worrying time when we find ourselves contending with unusual symptoms but it's good you've sought out medical advice.

    Hopefully the ultrasound will be able to provide some answers and peace of mind but until then I hope the tips and advice given in this article will help you whilst you wait. 

    Fingers crossed for a good outcome Shd77.

    All the best,
