Hey DRoseDARs, good luck. I'm actually going for a testicular ultrasound today for some swelling/discomfort in the groin coming on the heels of a possible urinary tract infection (rare for men). I'm not suffering, merely occasionally uncomfortable, but it's still nerve-wracking.

Thanks guys! The ultrasound went OK, but I'll have to see my urologist or primary care physiciian to get the results (ultrasound wasn't done at hospital). On the positive side, the ultrasound tech was a really pretty brunette named Lisa. Not that these circumstances are arousing, but a pretty face is always nice.

I'll keep you posted with results. Thanks for the good thoughts! I love this community. Best folks in the world.

Inflammation of the foreskin
reminds me of your smile
I've had ballanital chancroids
for quite a little while
I gave my heart to NSU
that lovely night in June
I ache for you my darling
and I hope you get well soon.

My penile warts, your herpes
my syphilitic sores
Your moenelial infection
how I miss you more and more
You dobie's itch, my scrumpox
our lovely gonorrhea
At least we both were lying
when we said that we were clear

Our syphilitic kisses
sealed the secret of our tryst
You gave me scrotal pustules
with a quick flick of your wrist
Your trichovaginitis
sent shivers down my spine
I got snail tracks in my anus
when your spirochetes met mine.

Gonococcal urethritis, streptococcal ballinitis,
Meningo myelitis, diplococcal cephalitis,
Epididymitis, interstitial keratitis,
Syphilitic choroiditis, and anterior u-ve-i-tis.

My clapped out genitalia
is not so bad for me
As the complete and utter failure
every time I try to pee.
My doctor says my buboes
are the worst he's ever seen
My scrotum's painted orange
and my balls are turning green.

My heart is very tender
though my parts are awful raw
You might have been infected
but you never were a bore
I'm dying of your love my love
I'm your spirochaetal clown
I've left my body to science
but I'm afraid they've turned it down.

Gonococcal urethritis, streptococcal ballinitis,
Meningo myelitis, diplococcal cephalitis,
Epididymitis, interstitial keratitis,
Syphilitic choroiditis, and anterior u-ve-i-tis.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

ajbera,

Anyways, it's true about pretty girls. When I was hurried to hospital for emergency 'surgery' for me hand, I was totally messed up from losing blood, I was in shock and pale as a ghost, well it wasn't dangerous, but I was out there from all the drugs and blood loss, on my back in this joke of an ambulance and the first thing I really notice is that I had ruined my clothes, they were so bloody but then I saw this pretty girl who held my arm. She was a medic, and the first thing I remember being back from the shock is (when I was mostly just quiet), 'hey, your face is getting its colour back.. how are you feeling?'.. it was very comforting to see a pretty face for some weird reason, I was totally calm too. Of course she had to go away after they dropped me there and I got this ugly male nurse so thats when I was starting to feel uncomfortable again .

But yeah, pretty faces it should be a requirement for places where stress is likely to occur.

How did I miss this thread? Best luck to you, DRose!

I believe I mentioned a while ago that I've got a (supposedly) benign cyst in my left bitestis? I had to take umpteen tests for testicular cancer and what not some years ago. Not nice at all, and the nurse doing the manual inspection was all old and wrinkly.

If you've got something similar, you might be in for a life-time of on-and-off pain and permanent sensitivity.

Put an end to popups!

Bump.

***Update Jan 4:
Diagnosis remains inconclusive. He believes the tenderness stems from an infection that I've received a 20-day antibiotic treatment for. The ultrasound showed what he and another urologist believed NOT to be a tumorous mass, but can't say for certain. As such, I'm schedulled for another ultrasound in a few weeks to see if there's any change and to allow the doctor to more closely examine the testicle. He wasn't able to do that today because it hurt so damn much when bothered.***

OP updated as well.

This is good news though, isn't it? Except for the part that you have to wait more to know what this is.. but it sounds like chances are it's nothing very serious, yes?

I'd be happy with just being able to sit comfortably.

Seriously, we'll see. There is a mass, that much we know from the ultrasound. Infections can leave lasting damage, but that's unlikely in this case. My gut feeling is that the infection and the mass are unrelated. That I went in to the ER for one thing and had something else discovered.

Scary stuff. Hope all is well.

I did the testicle ultrasound thing too. They didn't find anything. I was told that "hey sometimes your balls hurt, it's normal, no big deal.". FU too doc. I usually don't mind pain too much, but pain in the nutsack like that is rather scary.

That's really annyoing though, because you can't get away with it. It's like if you have a sore spot in your arm, you can get away with it. With this, not really.. No matter what you do, it's there.. you'd need to install a miniature pool in your pants and let the fellows swim in there to avoid collision and pain. I know this to be true, I once had a nasty case of .. basically I accidentally 'burned' my fellows once, the left one, because I had these POS boxers and we were marching a long day so they kind of rubbed against my thigh, and the next day I noticed it really hurt, it burned like inferno, and we had to do lot of walking the next day too so I was in agony. It was kind of embarrasing too. And it'snot even the same, you have it worse now. So you can't get the miniature pool, lotions won't help, so basically.. be on your back?

Were they made with recycled sandpaper? Cotton undergarments generally don't have chaffing issues. BTW, 'chaffed' is a word you can instead of 'burned'. I was so ready to NOT ask you how you managed to roast your chestnuts.

Pain.

Lots of it.

I was more or less fine until Wednesday this week when I got hit with the pain that put me in the ER in the first place, but much worse. I've been in a higher level of pain than Christmas Eve since Weds. I tried calling the urologist's office yesterday morning, spoke briefly with Misty, was told the triage nurse was currently busy on another phone, and I left a message for her. Then I called back 30 minutes later and was told that A) I called a doctor's office ( Wow! Really? No sh*t, Misty. She was probably filing/polishing her nails and chewing gum when she said that, too. Valley girls... ), B) they had 8 doctors (And not one of them, let alone my own doctor, could find 5 minutes to talk to me all day?), C) all of whom have patients (I would hope so; I'd be rather irritated if any of them WEREN'T busy all day...), D) that they all have messages to check (But...that's why you have a triage nurse: To tell people something - this part is important - USEFUL until a doctor can see them..), E) and that they would get to me as soon as they could...



5 hours later, the triage nurse called back:
"We're not ignoring you..."
- I glanced at the clock when she said that...
"Put some ice on it..."
- No, I said USEFUL
"We can't prescribe you anything stronger because it would be too powerful..."
- God forbid.

I shold note that, unlike my mother, I'm a very pleasant person on the phone. I don't DO rudeness when I'm trying to get something, especially when I'm in real need, so at no point was I combative with either Misty nor the triage nurse.

*Sigh*

So basically I'm bedridden until I see another doctor (either my urologist or a new one if this is how I'm going to be treated by his office). I can't work today, tomorrow, and possibly Tuesday if I don't get stronger painkillers. Vicodin simply doesn't work for me. Being flat on my back is about the only position that doesn't hurt, though currently I'm in a tilted-back chair that actually doesn't hurt much if I don't move around. The abdominal pain that put me in the ER in the first place that became testicular too is what makes verticle positions unbearable. The nut pain keeps me from sleeping on my sides, which is how I normally sleep. Grr...
