Hernia... Or?

Hi,

I worked out at the gym yesterday, and when I was doing the leg press machine I felt my left nut jerk upward. It didn’t really hurt, a little pain, but it was a sharp jerk upward.

I was like “Wtf Im working my hips here not my left testicle!”, and then everybody in ear shot turned around… no just kidding I thought it.

So I was wondering if I have a hernia, or do nut sacks occasionally join in on the fun of weight lifting? So far no real pain, but I do notice it feels a little weird, like not 100% normal. I do know that testicular related hernias can be serious.

My workout partner has 2 Hernias, he goes in for the operation in a week. This all started from a squat session. I hate that the weights are at his house so I have to ask to workout without a spot. I heard he start back with light weights 3 weeks after and yes it is in the nuts.
