So a couple of weeks ago, during a shower, I noticed that my left tesicle was slightly tender when I pushed in on it. I immediately went crazy with anxiety and felt it all over and no lumps or swelling of any kind. This went away by the next day and was gone for 4-5 days until it occurred again briefly another day. I haven't had an issue with it since then (3-4 weeks ago).

Tonight, when getting out of a bath, I was drying myself off. When I went to dry my testicles, I noticed that when I pushed up/lifted my left testicle, I felt a slight pain in my middle to lower back, on the left side. When I stopped, the pain stopped. When I moved/lifted it again, it happened again. I noticed this happened mostly when I was standing up. When I bent over and tried it, I didn't really notice. During this, there was no pain in my testicle at all. It was like moving the testicle made my back hurt.

Are there nerves that connect both the testicle and the lower/mid back? Do I have a pinched nerve or something? I had no idea the two were connected in any way. Looking for some insight here before I go crazy with anxiety again.

Cheers
