Hi my name is Ryan and I'm happy to join your community.
I've been struggling with health anxiety since I was teen(now 28) and coping the best I can.
For the past 4 years I've been having groin pain on my left side. Basically perineum where your prostate is but on the left side. It's a dull ache and normally pretty unnoticeable at it's best. It also seems to coincide with a tingling in my left foot. It never seems to go away completely. If I lean more on my left when sitting it definitely puts pressure on it and the tingling/ache is much more noticeable.
The pain sometimes radiates into my left testicle and a doctor did sense it was epididymitis at the time or at least tenderness in the cord connecting my testicle. But this seems to come and go as well.
Extended sitting/walking seems to exacerbate the problem.
Went to the doctor again about a month ago and she said it could be a ligament issue. But she did not inspect much. (When the pain started I was working a job that required me on my feet for long hours moving boxes. So I feel I could have done some damage back then.) She prescribed muscle relaxers but they didn't seem to do anything. I will be having a blood test taken tomorrow the 4th so I will see if there are any abnormalities.
I'm scared of the worse of course...googling my symptoms yields awful results. Thanks again google... I will be shaking myself to sleep.
Thank you for any input you can provide. I'm tired of having this nagging ache that keeps my anxiety on high.
