jordansahls Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 So, about 4 months ago, after a hard workout, I noticed (when I got home) my groin hurt. I went to sleep and woke up the next morning and could barely put my pants on from the pain. Basically, I had a burning sensation in/around the pubic area, some pain down the medial left thigh and tenderness in the inguinal area as well as some pain radiating down my left testicle (nice, I know). I don't believe it's a inguinal hernia because there was no mass or lump in that area. I have not run in about 2 months and the pain has lessened significantly, but I can still feel it on most days. I have a tough time performing lunges and squats. Hiking doesn't seem to bother it. Anyway, There was no specific acute trama that leads me to think that any one exercise was the cuplprite. There was no *pop* or tearing feeling. I'm not sure if I should go see a PT, a sports medicine specialist, or a urologist. Any ideas? Sound familiar to anyone?

bstach Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Move to Canada. In this socialist utopia, you can go to see the doctor the next day for free so you don't need to worry about it. I'd go to my GP and get a referal to the appropriate specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhalteke Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I had that after I got shot. It was a varicocele for me. If your scrotum gets super inflated on your left (most common) and feels like a bag of worms, you will know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I suffered a groin pull in a large aid fall in Yosemite some years back and it healed after a month or so. I was out of commission only relatively briefly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordansahls Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks for all of the advice, It's much appreciated. akhalteke, I remember reading about varicoceles and when the pain was the worst it did seem like i had the whole "bag of worms" thing going on. However, it seemed to resolve itself and I can't notice any major difference between my two "boys" except the left one aches at times. If you don't mind my asking, what did they do to fix the varicocele? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 so do your balls still hurt or did you bother seeing a doctor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 There's a nerve in the lower back that when inflamed, can make the boys ache pretty bad and burning around the groin area. Ice on the lower back and advil help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
