I don't know what to do.................

[Kaybi]

2 months ago I had a weird feeling in my testicle, on and off.. not pain.. just discomfort... its been getting more and more frequent.. recently it turned into my whole body in discomfort.... my testicles still hurt,, one time its the left, next its the right... i dont find any lumps by examinations but im not a doctor and i just dont know.im to the point where I'm feeling blatant fatigue... ive had a swollen tonsil for over a month, antibiotics didnt help....

I have no insurance.

I dont know where to go... a visit to the urologist is 300 and i can't get that money up myself without telling my parents (im 19 no job my fault i know) and i lost about 5 pounds in the past month or two

right now i just feel like ****, im going out of my mind... and trying not to panic.

These don't sound like typical testicular cancer symptoms, but there's obviously something going on. When you took antibiotics before, what did the doctor have to say?

You don't think the testicle discomfort is from the "kneeings" you mentioned in your other posts?

the doctor was pretty useless... i couldnt bring myself to tell her about my problem down south, so she just "treated" me for the tonsil. she said if its a bacterial infection, it will go away, if not... its viral and theres nothing i could do but wait... i took the 3 zithromax pills... nothing... she said it might be mono, but my syptoms are yet nowhere near the horror story that is mono.

as for the kneeing thing... maybe.. but it stayed with me for 2 months and still gives me trouble, i can't walk around, feel it, and not know what it is....
i also seem to experience the tenderness in the breasts, as described in the symptoms, but no enlargement (or am i scaring myself? hjeeeez)

what do you think might be the most efficient set of diagnostics that could tell me what the hell is wrong with me... the oddest thing is, whatever i feel, i cannot describe as pain.

you know when u run a lot ur side hurts? i used to be pretty in shape, now i run 20 feet my side kills me....

if i find a free clinic in my area, will that be a good first step for me? or do they only deal with STD?

i apologize if it seems im making a big deal out of nothing, i feel like an idiot worrying about possibly nothing among the men who actually went through TC
theres just so many things that a serious medical condition will affect in my family, largely because i have no insurance ( college insurance is a joke )

thanks for even reading this

p.s.: while there was definitely change within my sack, veins that seemed to appear out of nowhere, etc... theres only one thing that resembles a lump, and it is not even where i initally experienced discomfort, not even on the right testicle... i cannot even distinguish if it is part of a vein or if it is even attached to my testicle... where can i read about what a lump feels like, where it is found, and how big it is...

going to the doctor now...

That's the right thing to do!
Let's hear what came out of it.

Kaybi:
Your doing the right thing getting back to the doctors. No matter what it is the sooner you get it treated the better off you will be. I'm concerned with the nipple tenderness, that was my sons first real symptom.

[Kaybi]

i went to the doctor.. general practitioner.. woman..

told her of the problem... she examined me, but, not to sound like a perv, didnt get too into it...

said she didnt feel anything abnormal...

i was really nervous in the office. she told me to relax but

i dont know if i can... my nuts feel weird and i dont feel at ease...

should i trust the doctor? or get a second opinion at a urologist?

Hi Kaybi.
If you are not comfortable with your GP's examination, then a visit to a urologist is the next logical step.
And if that is what it takes to put your mind at ease, then it's what you should do.

Kaybi:
It's not really a matter of trust, a urologist is the correct doctor to see.

Kaybi, what ever happened with this?
