....Testicle, twitching??

[bartenda]

OK so this is pretty weird but maybe someone on these boards has had something similar. To get it out there yes I have seen a doctor and he said everything was alright.

So about a month ago I noticed a little twitch down there, didnt think anything of it.. but then about 2 weeks later it was STILL twitching. Went to the doc, he said nothing was abnormal, and now I am still dealing with it.

The weird thing is is that if im laying or sitting down and I move a certain way with my arm or neck I can literally "control the twitch".. like if i raise my hands a little portion in the upper right hand side of my right ball will compress, and when I lower it it will come back out. So maybe its a nerve damage kind of thing?

Since its been SO long, im thinking about going to see a different doc. There's no pain or anything, just this awkward consistent twitching thats drivin me crazy!!

never hurts to get a second opinion alright, worth the extra money to be almost certain the 1st doc isn't missing something

Well it's obvious some kind of nerve impingement. There's a start for ya

Is it the testicle itself moving up and down, or is it the sack contracting and relaxing? Or is it neither and feels more like something in the perineum (area between your balls and ass) contracting?

Muscles twitch for all sorts of reasons and these muscles aren't limited to the muscles in your limbs!

Probably a variation of the cremaster reflex, nothing to worry about. I get muscle twitches all the time.

Edit: Just to elaborate, your balls are attached to the cremaster muscle. When you are in the shower the muscle is relaxed and you balls hang low. Just before you ejaculate the muscle is tightened and your balls are close to your body. Any muscle like the cremaster muscle can twitch, the most common causes are anxiety/hyperventilation.

it's really the whole testicle.. but it doesnt feel the same as when its just moving up normally. It "twitches" with my movements.. like sometimes if i clench my fist or move my arm I can literally control the movement... squeeze in with my hand it it twitches quickly in one direction, let go and it rebounds.

This was starting to worry me so about 1.5 weeks ago I went to see a urologist. One of the best in my area. I don't have insurance but was willing to just pay for it. He basically told me he has never heard of anything like this and that he wouldnt charge me for this visit because he didnt feel necessary to examine...

3 days ago the twitch turned to pretty intense pain.. went to the doc asap the next morning and she diagnosed me with epididymitis. However, she said the twitching was unrelated, and told me not to worry and take ibuprofen 800mg 4 times a day for 10 days for the inflammation. She didnt prescribe be antibiotics like I have read is common.

Still kind of sore, but the bad pain has subsided. Still twitching when I move like a mother and is annoying/still slightly worrisome even though I went to the doc 3 times. Im going to give it a week and if its still this apparent im going to go back to the doc and request an ultrasound or x-ray.

Thanks for the help guys, this SUCKS lol

I had epididymitis and got antibiotics for it. Some doctors do prescribe nsaid for it but the inflammation is caused by bacteria so antibiotics is what you should have. As for the twitching, im not sure what it could be, ultrasound will be a very good test that can give a lot of information and put your mind at rest.

I wouldn't worry, I think of it as your body just cranking out extra test!

I know I'm really late, but any updates on this? I am currently having sort of the same issue with twitching down there.
