first off i wanna say thank you so much for offering this service! this is a very helpful way for me to find out what my problem is before going to a doctor and i really appreciate it!
i am a 23 year old male and live on my own. i have no health insurance since i live paycheck to paycheck, and no one helps support me.
for almost 2 years i have been having these pains. the pain is only aggravated when i am standing for a long period of time. on my days off from work i barely ever hurt.
my first job is as a server. when i first get to work i am fine, but after about an hour of standing and walking i get a pain that is behind my testicals going back towards the anus (i'm not sure what the medical term is for this part of my body). its at the very base of my groin. it feels like pressure. it gradually will get worse as the day progresses, and only stops when i sit down for a little while.
my second job is data entry. on days when i am sitting at the computer, i have no pain. but on days when i am standing and opening mail (no walking or lifting), the pain is equally as bad as the other job.
the pain will also somewhat bother me down on the right side of my groin muscle around where my leg connects to my torso right above my penis (does that make any sense?). but this pain is not as extreme as the other.
it is even now effecting my penis itself. when i get an erection, it sometimes hurts. my penis will be sensitive, especially on the head of the penis.
the pain has been going on for almost 2 years. it keeps getting worse and worse and everyone thinks i am crazy for not doing anything yet.
but actually i visited a doctor about a year ago. i thought it was some sort of hernia since it will hurt when i sneeze. so i told the doctor that, and the doctor did a physical inspection. he made me cough while holding my testicals and said he didnt noice anything. so he referred me to someone else and they did an ultrasound on my testicals. they said there was nothing out of the ordinary, just maybe a little extra fluid and to come back on an 'as needed' basis.
like i said, i am a student working 2 jobs who is strapped for cash and these 2 doctor visits had me broke for a while. then one day i had gone to the emergency room because the pain was really bothering me one day. the only thing they said they could do was give me a CAT scan... but they said it would be VERY expensive and after waiting in the waiting room for 5 hours the pain had subsided. so i said forget it.
so now i am so confused on what to do. i don't know what the pain is.... i don't want to waste anymore money going to a doctor unsure of the problem... and more importantly i don't want to hurt anymore or do anything serious to my body!
please help me! :confused:
