  • Ache :(

    Hey im 17 years old, the other day i started to have a sore stomach, so i thought maybe i was just sick or somthing, because i was going toilet, also my whole body was aching so i thought i just had some cold or a flu. the next day i still had aching muscles, and my balls were aching to, but not much very dull, i also have a lower back pain. now its been about 4 days and my testicals are still aching dull, and im still having a bit of a sore stomach, but my muscles aches have nearly all gone, but i am still having aching testicals and a sore lower back, and somtimes stomach irratation, does anyone know what this could be , do i have TC . iv been stressed out and worrying for about 4 days now, iv checked my balls for any lumps and i cant seem to find anything ? am i not looking properly??

    Also the day before i started experiencing these things i had gone to a amusment park, so my dad is saying maybe i strained somthing from a ride maybe ?? please help
    thanks

    schedule an exam

    i had similar symptons - without sever pain in the testicles. i ended up going to the doctor for the lower back pain b/c it was so severe. the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes in my back - the earlier the detection the better - let me know if you need anything at all - i know this is very scary.

      yes it is very scary. im very very paranoid and im really worried.

      iv told my parents and they say it could be just straining from the rides. also my dad said it could be this type of hernia. iv checked for a lump everyday since the aching and i cant find anything. i dont have bad pain in my lower back it just feels tired and a little bit sore, but much better than the last couple of days, anyway

      thanks for replying I feel so much better when i talk about it im so worried

        hang in there

        hang in there my man - i'm sure your mind is getting the best of you right now - i know mine did. the best advice that i can give is to schedule a doctor appt immediately and let the experts diagnose you - it will eliminate lots of worry and stress. Remind yourself that even though testicular cancer is not fun - it's a very positive prognosis that is very treatable. i'm proud of you for using this site - emotional support is the best way to get through this!

          The odds are definitely in your favor that this is something other than testicular cancer.

              You very well could have pulled a mucle really bad or if your athletic you could possibly have a heernia.. There are several things it could be....As Scott said the chances it's Tc are very,very,very slim.......

                      Your dad could be right that it's related to recent physical activity, or it could be epididymitis or a similar infection. If it doesn't clear up, a doctor's diagnosis is the best route.

                          I would still get checked by a urologist. It doesn't look like you have a cancer issue but you still shouldn't have extended periods of pain.
