They call me Sore-Balls McGee

So, shall we talk about my testicles?

If you haven't already realised, if you don't want too much information about me and some of my more personal habits, you may wish to stop reading this post. Actually, if you haven't SMSed me with your details, now would be a good time to go back to my post from yesterday and read that, if you haven't.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Oh, yes, there is a female equivilant, but I am going to let someone else enlighten you.

There is?

I guess that with my low libido it is not something I've encountered.

[hespa]

Afraid I must second both the question & the explanation. I'm intrigued.

If we are talking about the inflammation, there most definately is a female equivalent and it bloody painful. However, I doubt it''s from lack of sex. Quite the opposite. If we are talking about the need to have amidextous sex, then there is an equivalent female condition too.

And that's all I'm saying on the matter. Go ask Mr Google.

... manipulate the mango?

If it's bright orange, I don't think it's your balls that are the problem *looks innocent*

It's a similar deep low ache to the one you have for a while after being kicked in the nuts.

Y'know, this sounds exactly like the chronic pain I get. Which, BTW, is known as orchialgia. If this continues, talk to a GP about it. (Then get a referral to a specialist when the GP goes "Wha?", which they almost certainly will.)

If this is not just a fleeting thing, I recommend keeping a mental note of what assorted actions and activities have an effect, good or bad.

For me, I find that walking makes it worse. On a middlingly bad day*, just walking 3-4 metres will cause a flare-up that will take 20-30 minutes of sitting down before it fades away.

I also find that Spring is the worst time for it, 'cause inflammation all through the body is higher due to the damn pollen/other irritants in the air.

Nurofen is great for this, Naproxin is even better, cause it lasts longer. Remember: Don't take NSAIDs on an empty stomach, though.

(*) On a really bad day there's nothing to be done except take a bunch of analgesics and try to sleep it off/

Also: *offers sympathies and hugs*

and

Y'know, I think you may have missed a euphemism or two. Possibly.

[delicious_irony]

Yes. Yes there is.

As far as I can judge, it isn't quite as acutely uncomfortable as your rambutans sound.

My private theory is that the Bartholin's glands get annoyed with me. I'm probably wrong.

[mrs_roy]

I'm quite impressed with all that slang.
