I'm very nervous. I had been having some pain in my left testicle for a month or two. It would come for a couple of days and then be gone for a week or so. I have had some anxiety/depression problems and had some psychosomatic pain in my head that an MRI proved negative. So, I thought this might also be psychosomatic and I didn't want to go to the doctor and be somewhat embarrassed again when it turns out to be nothing.
So, I went to my doctor. She felt around and didn't feel any lumps or irregularities. I have done the same numerous times and felt nothing. She said it might be epididimytis (sp?) and gave me antibiotics. It stayed the same, hasn't gotten any worse. I have noticed that when I stand up straight and then lean backwards, it feels like something's pulling on my testicle.
But, then last week, I noticed some pain/sensitivity in my left nipple. When I leaned on something, it hurt, just a tad. When I feel it, I can feel some tissue under it and it is sensitive. I am very overweight, 5'9" and 250lbs, so I figured this might just be gynecomastia. But, I read online that this sensitivity is one of the signs of tc.
Anyway, I called my doctor and asked her if she could set up an ultrascan for me, just in case. She said of course, and I had one today.
I should hear the results tomorrow sometime. I'm very worried. I'm not sure what I'm hoping for by posting here, but I have read this forum for a while now and it is such a nice place. I could use you'lls moral support, I suppose.
I'll be sure and post the results when I hear them.
