A question, need an answer fast

go to a doctor as soon as possible?

Well, no health insurance, and I already owe my local hospital over 2,000 dollars in medical bills for an emergency room visit, and a visit on mono. It's not that easy.

Some kid lost his testicle a few months ago. He was hit by a ball or something like that. It was swollen but went down. Unfortunately the swelling went down becasue the testicle died. You've received the proper advise so far. It's up to you what you want to do with it.

DOCTOR,DOCTOR,DOCTOR!!!

This might be what you've got. I don't know anyone whos ever had it, but according to that page it is very serious and needs to be treated immediately. so i suggest asking your parents for a few thousand dollars, and quick.

This doesn't sound like something to mess around with. I understand the concern about no insurance, but waiting could lead to loss of the testicle and require surgery to remove it (translation, more expense). Please get to the doctor now.

I think this is a guy thing not wanting to go to doc as soon as we discover somthing out of the ordinary. Especially if you need to be checked out downstairs it is always a bit embrassing i guess.As others have said there is a possibiliaty that nothing is wrong with your testical but it is way safter going to get it checked by a doctor and getting the all clear rather than wait to it gets worst.I had a lump in my groin - just on top of pube line. I had not idea what it was - so I was off to doc to find out what it could be. He asking it is was on testical or in the gorin. He then looked and did the herina check and it turned out to be a hernia. So nothing to major to worry about but it puts your mind at rest once you know what is happening.Better to be on safe side and gets an experts opnion though.

Well, I'm calling today to schedule an oppointment with a Urologist at a general hospital today. The pain is kinda gone at the moment, but they still feel kinda weird. I think I may have slept on them wrong or something instead of something serious, but I'm going to try the doc. If he makes me wait for a week or longer, I think I'll just try to tough it out on my own. If anyone is still concerned for me and my health, I wil gladly post updates in this topic. Wish me luck.

You are concerned about money but are going to a specialist at a hospital ($$$$$). Granted, a urologist is probably better, but couldn't you have seen a General Practioner?

This sounds pretty serious. It's one thing to have a dull pain in one or both of your balls - I think most of us go through that occasionally. But your pain is accompanied by swelling and it's making you limp? Get to the doc. No matter how bad your bills will be, do you really want to risk something serious?Let us know what the urologist says.Good Luck
