I get paranoid very easily. I am 15 years old and about a week ago i accidentally sat on my right testicle (Not that bad) and it hurt. I sat up a bit and it hurt a little more. I stood up and it looked weird and i used the palm of my hand to just bounce them a very little bit and the pain didnt come back (it wasn't there as i stood up either). This is irrelevant currently, however. I do not actually think i did anything more than sit on it and it is fine now. But this lead me on a simple google search that would fill my head and make me paranoid. I had heard about testicle torsion and for a week i constantly check to make sure they're straight, im sitting weird and not how i normally sit to avoid any complications. And i was thinking about how isnt this more common, it SEEMS that they can spin around so easily. The paranoia led me to constantly feel my testicles at least once every 5 minutes, all day. And im thinking this might just be making them irritated as with any other part of your body.
So my right testicle is completely fine now, but as i was laying on my stomach before i was going to bed i was paranoid again and i reached down (still on my stomach) to check if they were fine. I dont know what happened but i think i just thumped it with my finger and i got a quick sharp pain near my left testicle, not the testicle itself, more towards the perineum and i sat up in my bed the pain didnt even last 2 seconds, and never came back. The next morning i noticed that my left one now sticks out a little further forward than my right one, maybe half a centimeter. This of course made be even more paranoid. But i tried to pass it off as "i hit it last night and maybe its swollen a little now" But it doesnt feel swollen, it actually feels pushed forward a little bit. I did not have any pain anywhere, it did not hurt to pee, i can ejaculate fine without any problems, and there are no discolorations anywhere. The only way i can describe this is having the butterflys in your stomach, except in my left testicle. Its just a feeling of being there. Normally you cant really feel your own testicles but you know they're there. But for these past 2 days i can feel my left testicle being there. And its no bigger in size than my right one (maybe a little naturally).
That was yesterday. Today i felt pretty good when i woke up and i had that very minor numb-butterfly feeling. But after i woke up i started to check if my left one was still a little forward than the right, it was. And then i was checking the veins to make sure nothing was flipped around. They both seem to be facing the same direction, but what i also did was bring my finger tips around the back of my testicles to feel above them (where that small glob of veins is) and since i was so paranoid i kept feeling them back and forth because for some odd reason the left veins felt bigger (not by alot at all). But i was just thinking to myself "ok well the left one hangs lower so there probably going to be more vein. But anywho i kept feeling them and the vein part start to get soar which made me even MORE paranoid and this is getting annoying. Im also aware that the testicles have very tiny veins all around them. Very very tiny veins. And for some reason i kept thinking i could feel them more on the left one than i could on the right one (again, not a major difference at all). So i took a warm shower to check, they felt pretty much the same and i saw no discolorations. Still not pain and it doesnt hurt to touch them.
So am i just thinking about it to much and messing with them so much that its causing them to feel like i wanna shake around? Like how you feel if your inside sitting all day and your legs feel weird from no walking.
My left pelvis is also feeling soar, like your lymph-nodes in your chin do if you have a tooth ache or if your sick. I know that all these nerves are connected, so again, is this just me messing with them so much?
As of right now
No pain
No pain when touching them
No pain in scrotum
No odd colors
Nothing different about urinating
Nothing different about ejaculation or semen.
I know nothings probably wrong, but every time i google for answers the poster always has previously suffered from something or they have some sort of symptom that i dont have, and then by reading it ill think i might have that same symptom and that leads me on more searching and more brain flooding articles.
Thanks.

Update:
As of right now my left testicle does feel a little bit more veiny, to be descriptive it almost feels wrinkly and it is a sort of dull pain if i push a little bit while im feeling the side of it and sometimes its a little sharp pain but nothing thats groin grabbing severe. Again, could this just be from me messing with the so much today? And moving the veins around so much while feeling it?

I was doing some research after finding that i had a dull ache going from the top of the left testicle into my left thigh and found that a groin strain can be the cause of this. I am not that well fit, im not over weight, and yesterday i did get up and run a half a mile on the treadmill for no reason without stretching at all. I had been inactive sitting at my computer all day the 3 days before that. Im convinced i simply pulled a muscle/strained my groin during this run and thats what im worrying about. My hips also sorta hurt and my lower back did earlier today. This is a day after i did the run, i did not have this pain on the day of the run and i know it usually takes 1 night of sleep for muscles to start to ache after exercise.
Again, no abdominal pain, colors, etc etc etc.
Has anyone had anything similar?

Keeping this updated
My left groin and inner thigh still hurts, along with what also feels like my lower back. My stool today was alot darker and when flushed it spread apart almost like tar. I read veterinary supplements with iron and dark foods could cause this, or it could be bleeding. I did take a supplement containing iron a week ago. And i have been constantly drinking tea and green tea.
Is this all an extreme coincidence? Its also been summer and ive been eating like crazy for the hell of it which is making me have some diarrhea today, and diarrhea is usually dark. Ill recheck my stool again later because the lights in my bathroom are almost yellow and they tint the room a darker color.
Again
no pain when urinating/ejaculating
no discolorations in/on anything
still left groin and inner thigh discomfort, and small amount of lower back (left) pain
No pain when touching testicle, and no direct pain in testicle.
I got that numb feeling in my left testicle when i started to research all this again and started panicking again.
I really hope someone replies.

Well it is good to hear that you are fine now.
I hope that you will pay more attention when sitting. :-)

Im still extremely paranoid about torsion though. I walk slower, i sleep on my back real still and make sure my testicles are aligned right before falling asleep and i sit while im at my computer and usually have one hand holding them still. It seems like the testicles are a flawed organ, seeing how easily they can twist. I even tried to calm my nerves by trying to find out if there was maybe some resistance or anchorage to the testicles. To do this i closely monitored and slowly twisted my own about 150-60 degrees and kept my fingers on it the whole time. It was really easy to do so it didn't calm my nerves one bit and made me more paranoid.
I don't play sports and i dont exercise that much and i wear boxers.
Im getting annoyed.

Well maybe a visit to a doctor could ease your mind. If he doesn't find anything wrong that you have nothing to worry about.
Have you considered this as an option?

Hey there Paranoid. The testicles are actuall not as flawed as you might think. they are somewhat anchored to the inner tissues of the scrotum to help prevent twisting. while one can manually twist them the connective tissue inside the scrotum is enough to help prevent them from twisting on their own. also there is a wall of tissue deviding the left and right side of the scrotum called the scrotal septum. this prevents the left and right testicles from twisting around eachother.
You will be fine sleeping and walking as torrsion, if they occur at all are almost always caused from exercise/sports withour wearing any form of jock support.
I hope this helps calm your nerves a little as you seem fairly knowledgeable about conditions but you tend to overthink about them and then scare yourself.....
This happens to me sometimes too..... it use to alot more when i was your age and younger but now im 22 and have a biomajor so i think i have been able to analize things more and help put my own mind at ease for a lot of things. but sometimes it sucks knowing so much because then you always tend to think of the worst possible problems/or causes of a problem when issues arise. 8)

I only worry about them twisting when im relaxed and my scrotum is really relaxed also.
Loading...
Yup thats understandable,
But when relaxed and your testicles rotate some, the way they are designed allows them to automaticaly untwist/rotate.
if you get a torrsion there is sudden extream pain sometimes with nausia and or vomiting. one testicle is elevated/raised a fair amount higher than the other and it is usually quite swollen.
even when your testicles and scrotum are relaxed they wont twist enough to get stuck.
when they are relaxed i take it they hang pretty low if you are able to sit on them. have you tried whearing diffeent types of pants/underwear? such as gym/athletic shorts which are really loose or jeans which are tighter and stiffer? does one style of clothing seem to prevent you from sitting on them over another?

I dont usually sit on them and i havent really tried any other underwear.
When i sat down that day i was squished in my chair trying to arrange my legs indian style and i pinched my right one under my thigh (my right hangs lower).
