Hello all of you lovely forum readers. I need your thoughts on a bit of a sensitive topic.
Over the past 8-9 months I have had the situation where, while out running, I get a severe pain in one of my testicles. It only really lasts while running. If I stop and walk, it is still noticeable, but not awful. Start running again, pain returns. Over these 8-9 months it has only appeared 3 or 4 times. Not common enough to figure out any sort of pattern. The only consistent thing I have noticed, is that it has only happened after 15+ km. I have been to a urologist who is as confused as I am as to what's going on. Per the ultrasound he did...there's nothing mechanically wrong.
So, 2 questions come from this.
1) Have any of you had any experience in something like this? If so, what course of action did you take to fix things?
2) I am looking for new running shorts that have a built in liner. Preferably a very snug, tight fitting liner. Do any of you have a suggestion on shorts? (I don't have any shorts with the brief-style liner, all of mine that have liners currently have the longer ones that also compress the thighs)
Thank you all in advance.
Tony
