My ballbag really itches today...... i think its allergic to nuts !!!!

Hope you get it sorted sir.
Most blokes (myself included) tend to ignore things that perhaps we should go and get checked out until they are past the 'niggling' point. Also, you can't get appointments with your GP for weeks by which time it's too late. If you make an emergency appointment, it's a lucky dip as to who you'll get and, apart from 1 that I remember in the last few years, seem to treat you like a customer at a 'drive thru' restaurant!

Well I called up first thing this morning when they opened and got the usual no appointments left for today spiel. well I need an emergency appt then was my response. We can fit you in at 14.50 if that's ok. fools!

Dan good for you get it checked probably nothing more than too much self abuse I'm sure you'll be fine. When the doc asks you to drop your trousers tell him that's rather forward and you'd rather start with a drink and a nice meal first.
If he cups them in his hand and asks any problem in the performance department just look him in the eye and say "well I could make your eyes water mate"!
Best of luck

I had a hernia operation when I was 17 (after working my nuts off the previous summer on a caravan site near Heysham). They fixed it good and proper... a bit too proper. For years afterwards - 10, 15 years we're talking - I used to get really serious ball ache (same side as my hernia). No swelling, just felt like someone had kicked me in the nuts. Made my teeth ache, sometimes, it was so bad. Every couple of years I'd go to the doc and say, "Seriously, is this normal?!?" He/she'd say, "Yes, when they fix a hernia, they basically have to tie a knot in it. They do it good and tight so it won't happen again. Unfortunately, that can mean sometimes it pulls on other bits of your body, including your --------." Could happen at any time, but was most likely to occur when... let's just say, I was in an "amourous situation." Now, lads, can you imagine a bigger turn-off than the pain you get when you've been kicked in the nads? Cos I can't! Thankfully, last few years, seems to have "eased up a bit."

You're dead right to go to the docs, good on you. I cheerfully ignored a lump on my neck for a month, late '98, until my mum nagged me about it when I saw her at Christmas. Saw the doc in January, got referred, wait, biopsy, wait... 4 weeks later I was starting my first of 3 cycles of chemo, followed (5 months later) by a month of radiotherapy. So yeah, glad I went when I did!

Best of luck to you, chap.

another thing with the lumps, if a dog keeps trying to bite it then its probably cancerous, I read an article about it a while ago that dogs can apparently smell it

Glad I never got too close to any dogs then. Cancer they could fix... not sure where I'd've stood with a ripped throat!

Not ball related (I hope!) but I'm off for an MRI this morning to get answers to a 20+ year old problem....that I could possibly have gotten sorted out 20+ years ago. You've done absolutely the right thing, and top kudos also for having the balls to talk about it - many men don't and it's one of our biggest failings.

dan, thats (above) what I meant when i said referred pain - it might NOT actually be yer nads that are the problem, just something else has happened thats pressing on yer 'nad-nerves'

 

[telectrix]

was a case reported on tV the other week. lady's dog kept whining and nuzzling her breast. she went to doctor who found she had a breast cancer . after successful surgery, the dog's behaviour returned to normal.

 

[Pete999]

Yep good luck Dan, them Docs usually sort things out.

 

[dan86]

Thanks for not taking the pi** too much guys and also the good luck etc. At this stage I'm trying not to think about it as much as I can. I'm a firm believer in not worrying about anything if I can't change it. I wasn't gonna go to docs but after it happening for more than 4 years and 3 people in my family having testicular torsion, thought it best on the safe side and get it checked out.
I will of course let you all know what the outcome is. not really sure why I posted it here. guess I just needed to get it off my chest..?
anyway, in the meantime- best of luck for today Rockingit. let us know how you get on ☺
