testacle pains

Gazz

What we think and what should be are down to the specialists here.There could be a 1001 reasons for the pain,all i knew was that you defo needed a second opinion from what Dr dopey bollox told you.Without being to graphic does it hurt when,you know,you release yer little fellas?You might have a blocked tube somewhere,another problem ive known someone to have.What exactly are these tablets and what are there purposes?I cant see any reason to stop taking whey and creatine myself.

cheers gaz originally i was put on tablets for a urine infection then i've been put on antibiotics (Epididymitis). Then i got put on some for inlamation. The pills i've been on are naproxen, diclofenac, to name a couple. No mate i'm fine when letting me little fellas out. I was just wondering if any of my supplements would affect any tests i will have next week?

Inform them of what supplements you are taking because some can change the results. Also, some supplement interact with medication and those interactions can be complex (certain supplement increase or decrease the effect of other or other side effects).

give the consultant/doctor/hospital a ring and ask them they will know best as they are doing the tests

Gazz

You need to ask your Doctor at the first available opportunity about the effects of taking these medications in combination with food supplements like Creatine.There are reports that it's possible that creatine can interact with certain antibiotics.Bottom line: if you're taking any prescription drugs, it would be wise to ask your physician or pharmacist about any possible problems.Same for the tests.NEVER be affraid to speak the truth to your doctor or GP.Witholding important information about yourself could put you in serious danger.But im sure they will get to the bottom of it.

right, i had my ultra sound and my results are that my kidneys are fine and i've a simple cyst in the left side of my scrotum. They say this is harmless. I just don't know what to do now i seem to have had constant aches their since weel before christmas now. I think i'll have to go back to the doctors and tell him about the supplements i take and that i lift heavy weights. The thing i'm dreading tough is him telling me to stop for a while and see what happens as i start uni in september and have been training hard to have a decent body for around 2 years. I wonder if putting on 6 and half stone on in 2 years could be a factor for the pains? Or perhaps just lifting weights for 2 years but doing no cardio. Incidently, i stopped the training for a couple of weeks over xmas and i was still getting the pains.
thanks, steve

Glad you've finaly been given a viable diagnosis and all is well Steve.I very much doubt that training has been the cause of a cyst forming as these things just seem to be random.My nephew has not long come out of hospital after having a cyst removed from between his testicles,he does'nt weight train he's 3!

Good luck with rest of your treatment.
