Testicle Pain & Adex

I wrote this in hipsr4runnin’s thread on testicle pain + adex:

My story is dissimilar from OP, but does involve testicle pain and adex, so I thought I would share…

When I decided to embark on correcting my issues in June 2010, one of my symptoms was occasional dull aching of one of my testicles…when I started taking Adex in June, the pain pretty much disappeared…I started out at 0.5 mg/week and eventually bumped up to 0.7 mg/week…

Thinking I may my E2 aromatization issues under control, I stopped taking adex entirely at the end of January…

A couple weeks later, my left testicle developed the same dull pain, that seems to spike upon deep breaths…This has been ongoing for the past couple weeks…

It seems more pronounced after I take my Rez-V for the day, but that could just be in my head or a function of med timing…

Take this for what its worth, but I thought it interesting and somewhat relevant…

Basically I was having testicle pain before starting Adex, it went away, now that I’ve stopped Adex, it seems to have come back…

I’ve felt around for lumps, and am a bit concerned, so I am going to schedule an appointment with a doc in the next couple weeks to have the boys checked out…

On good news, they’ve been checked out as part of my first-visit routine by two different doctors over the past 8 months, and nothing was obviously amiss, so I’m optimistic that nothing is wrong…but better safe than sorry…

I also called Quest Friday and they told me all my labs had been completed and results mailed out to me on Wednesday…so they’re probably at home now, but I’m on travel until next Sunday so won’t get a chance to view them until then…

I really wish Virginia would get with the program and allow results released directly to patients–I would be able to view them directly on my blackberry remotely…
