It's hypochondria you guys :)
You guys have succeeded in making a mountain off of a mole. I used to have the same issue when I started running more than 3 miles a day. I used to wear normal jockies which were good for regular wear. However, there was a slight amount of freedom of movement for my package which is common to jockeys.
I changed to athletes (sports tight) jockies and viola, the pain was no more.
Try it yourself ... and holler if it works for you!
If you have pain in your genitals, I think it's always worth investigating with a doctor. There's three pains you never want to mess around with--chest, stomach, and genital. Anything else is fine, but those three generally indicate something serious and can go south so quickly. Be sure to get checked if you have pain, okay? It is worth your time.
Thanks

My left testicle starting hurting as well, and progressively got so bad it would hurt when I walked. Oddly enough, it also felt like gas...and a good fart would relieve the pain from time to time. And to be more specific, that testicle was sore but it seemed like the tubing that connected them. My boyz also hang pretty low, I have big thighs and don't like to wear underwear so I figured they were just being punched around during the run, but that's nothing new. Like you, I didn't want to go to doctor and show my boys to a bunch of strangers, but I wanted to be safe. Long story short, the doc gave me an ultra-sound on my testicles to make sure my the tubing hadn't get twisted (its called Torsion) but didn't find anything. She also prescribed a round of antibiotics in case it was a urinary track infection, to keep it from moving into my kidneys. From there, I took a week off of training; I also started wearing those damn bikini briefs to prevent my boyz from bouncing around all day.
Today is my first day back and I did my first round of running this morning and heading down for my second; I can feel the pain slightly but not quite sure if it's the same. [In fact, I just changed my mind and am going to to the seated cycle instead of running because truth be told, running really is good for you body because it not designed to hand that type of prolonged impact, and its not worth taking the risk]. In short, own your training and don't let your training own you!
I would suggest going to the doctor just to make sure you don't have an infection cause by the jiggling that could spread to something worse.
Anyone had a similar experience?
Hello! I see that there hasn't been a post here in awhile. This happened to me as well and continues to happen. Like many I went to the doctor, got an ultrasound, went to an urologist .etc and everything was fine. In my case, it turns out it stems from lower back pain. Apparently a sore muscle or slight inflammation pitches the nerve where the signals from my left testicle feed in. Simply doing lower back stretches keeps it at bay. Sometimes after running when it happens just doing 30 sec. of a simple stretch like the cat stretch will make it go away (almost instantly!). All those doctors bills and I could have fixed it by just stretching, but definitely go to the doctor with any pain in your genitals.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
