shooting pains in testicles off-cycle, help!

[GPS226]

Hey guys..I am currently off-cycle after 12 week test/deca/dbol cycle and 5 week pct..it's been about 2 months since the end of pct and I am having recurring shooting pains in my testicles, particularly when I sit down it seems..this has been going on since late cycle/pct, so it's been going on for some time now. It seems to be less frequent as time passes, but it still is happening. I am wondering if anyone can shed some light on what may be going on and if so, what I can do about it. It is really quite painful at times..

Bro,..it sounds more like slight hernia...you might want to get that checked out.

Ya my thought exactly. Possible hernia. Get to a doctor and he will be able to tell pretty swiftly.

i thought of that, but i doubt that it's a hernia..i've inspected closely and there are no lumps or anything, and it is in both my testicles. No pains when I cough or increase abdominal pressure. the shooting pains seem really to occur at random times..I really believe that it has something to do with my cycle... of course I could be wrong and I'll have it checked out as soon as my health insurance policy kicks in, which will be soon.

Well if your certain its not a hernia. Keep a close eye on yourself ya know? Good luck bro.

I had the same pain happen. It can be caused by certian methods of training. This is common with training for agility such as with a halfback learning to do quick cuts or a sprinter trying to increase his take off in his first 10 yards. Are you doing your squats in an explosive manner or deadlifts this can also cause the pain. The doctor i went to told me it can be caused by the testicles getting quote "turned around", they are trying to go back to where they where.

ive heard that too. its called testicular torsion

[GPS226]

thanks for the response..that is probably it..I did train with heavy deadlifts and squats on cycle. i'm assuming it's more likely to occur when your balls are shrunken because it's easier for them to move around and rotate within your nutsack?..Cool, now I'm not as freaked out.
