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
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
