<human>: my husband woke up with severe pain at his left lower side abdomen he is complaining that his testicles hurt along with his left leg going numb. He is a tough guy and is screaming in pain crying. Please help us to know what is wrong, we are stuck in an ice storm and cannot make it to an ER
<bot>: Hello, Apply ice. Ask him to use tight underwear as it can sometimes relive the pain. He can try taking painkillers. However, if the pain persists even after all these, I will suggest NOT to delay treatment as it may indicate "Torsion of the testes" which is a serious issue and needs immediate medical attention. Other causes may be infection, kidney stone and simple muscle spasm.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
