we don't have shit. not that I know of anyway.

ps. my dad is from ireland too, he still has his accent and everything - he's always talking about how fucked the healthcare is over here compared to there. if something actually was wrong I think I'd head over there to get it taken care of. we'll have to meet up if that happens. I hope it doesn't happen - no offense. haha.

Lol none taken yea i hope it dosent happen either. Cool where abouts was your dad from?
 
Ha yea a dub accent would be hard to shift especially a thick northside one

yeah haha.

so update time:

a few months ago I broke up with my girlfriend - not for any super epic reason, I just wasn't feeling it too much anymore, but today I just found out she cheated on me right before we broke up.

lolz @ her sluttiness, not lolz @ if whatever miscreant she fucked had a disease. hopefully this isn't linked to my ball pain. Couldn't get an appointment until Wednesday, but good thing I made one.
 
I was going to bench press some weights today.. and I sat down too quick, and sat on one of my nuts. dude, I've never jumped to my feet so quick in my life.
 


seriously, get that shit checked out immediately. And yeah, no health insurance sucks, im in the same boat =/ i had HI until i just recently turned 18 and now i will only go to the doctor if im on the verge of dying

+1 to getting that shit checked out immediately

with as long as you've been having the pain, best case scenario is probably a hernia. they can be life-threatening, but not too often, and are fixed with a fairly simple surgery.

worst case scenario, you have testicular cancer, and the fact that you now have discomfort in your abdomen could indicate it's spreading to other parts of your body. either way, your situation is serious as fuck, and i wish you the best with it all.

what even is a hernia, anyway?

edit: just looked it up. makes me cringe. I'm not too worried about the cancer anymore cause I deduced the spot of my lump - it's actually on the like.. cabling behind the nut haha, and I read that lumps on that stuff are not cancerous. There's no lump on the actual testicle itself. maybe it is a hernia.
 
yea most likely then

i had 2 hernias when i was 5...one on each side of my sack. i had surgery on the left side, then a week later had a hernia on the right, likely due to surgeon's error, and was back under the knife as soon as the 1st surgery healed. i watch out for my testicular health pretty well now though, because they say that having hernias greatly increases the chances of testicular cancer.

i'm not so much worried about losing one of my nuts...you can always have a marble stitched in there to fill things out, but that shit is DEADLY

I wonder how much time out of work I'm going to need if I need surgery?
 
Go to a doctor. I have a varicocele and when it flares up every couple of years, it makes me a seriously saaaaaaad panda. The good news though is that sometimes all it takes is an anticoagulant and I'm good to go. You may be in the same boat if it has lasted this long. On the bright side, testicular cancer is usually painless....so if it hurts, chances are it's not cancer.
 
sorry guys, lost power here for a few days (and my studio flooded :( but that's another story...)

anyway, verdict is not cancer. had a nice teacher-looking lady feel my balls for a few minutes.

she said, no joke, "my! this certainly LOOKS healthy enough!" hahahah

but yeah, she said she didn't feel anything indicative of a hernia either but said if I was really concerned about one I should go to a somethingsomethingologist, because she didn't have a lot of experience with hernias(this was a sexual health place not a GP)

should have STD test results back in a day or two, but she said she doubts that as well.

guess I'm just gonna deal with it and see if it goes away, can't afford to be seeing 500 different people about this.

ps. thanks for the words of encouragement everybody. I <3 this place.
