I've never told this story to such a wide audience. Most people don't know this happened to me but I feel compelled to tell everyone about it, and maybe just maybe I can help some young 12-18 year old stud to cope with this extremely painful experience.It was May of 1993 (the link goes to things that happened in 1993 - good stuff!!!)
I was a ripe 13 years old and in the 7th grade. I wish I had some photos of me when I was 13 years old. I was extremely hot trust me with that. Imagine a young Gregg just entering puberty with a lean semi-hairless body! I was in a couple of basketball leagues and played sports on the side with my friends so I stayed very active. The day arrived and it was a warm spring evening. My brother, his friend Doug & I decided to go play some hoops (basketball - duh!) at Stonehill College.
We got to the courts and the basketball rims were really low. They weren't the typical 10 feet high - these were more like 9 feet high. Well we played basketball for a couple of hours. We played "Horse" "21" & "Around the World" When we were finished playing we all tried to grab the rim and dunk the ball. Well my brother and Doug had no problem doing it. My brother is 6'2, Doug is 5'11 & in 1993 I was 5'7. I could only grab the net not the rim. I tried grabbing the rim a good handful of times. Well on the ride home I started to get these stomach aches which weren't uncommon for me during this time. I would often get really bad stomach aches and then they would eventually go away. So as you can see I was thinking it was just another bad stomach ache. We got home and the "stomach ache" persisted for about 2 hours. I said to my mom my stomach ache won't go away and it really hurts, I think I need to go to the emergency room. So she called the emergency room to get info on if they could take me immediately and so I went outside and I began throwing up uncontrollably. My sister came out and tried to comfort me but I kept getting sick so she went in and told my mom. My mom, sister & I then all headed to the emergency room at Brockton Hospital.
We arrived at the hospital and they took us in immediately. They asked me where the pain was and I told them my stomach so they started to push on my abdomen, my testicles and stomach. They finally found where it hurt most when they pushed on my testicle and they determined it was either a twisted testicle or a tumor in my testicle but they needed to do x-rays to be sure. Now as I waited for them to get the x-ray room ready the pain was getting worse and worse. I've never been in such bad pain in my life. I was rolled up in a ball, squeezing my mom and sisters hands, yelling for them to get me some pain killers but no one could get me anything cause I needed to go into surgery.
They took the x-ray's and determined it was a twisted testicle and it needed to be operated on immediately! I was taken into emergency surgery and they untwisted my testicle. I later found out it was twisted 6 times inside and it was the worse case they had ever seen! If I hadn't gotten the surgery I would have lost my testicle because what basically happens is the testicle isn't getting any oxygen so it just dies. I was also the proud parent of 6 stitches in my testicle - ouch!
I went to a Urologist once a week for him to check it all out and on the last visit he pulled the stitches out - Ouch!
I hope you enjoyed my story. It's a story of the ages that the whole family can enjoy!

It is a great learning tool for other who do not know this. Like me!
Maybe I should be the national spokesman for twisted testies!
the internet has blessed us all with connectivity and interaction beyond our wildest dreams. I'm glad I could share my story of utter pain and distress with you =)
Jessie Ventura for President in '08!!!

You really will talk about anything won't you!! Nice diagram by the way! Really helpful and educational!

Young men need a role model and I'm ready to step up as one for the ball hurting community.

IT IS TIME TO ELIMINATE ISLAM

Just watching the news from London is a reminder that we’re living in an age of terrorism. And, sad to say, almost all terrorism has something to do with Islam and Muslims, you just won’t find much of it that is not in some way connected.
Just look at a few:
First World Trade Center Attack: a blind Egyptian guy was behind it. No one contests it.
Oklahoma City: don’t forget that McVeigh served in the first Gulf War. There is good reason to think he was recruited by jihadists in Iraq who were active at the time.
9/11: Islamic suicide extremists, forget the other theories. They were Taliban zealots hoping for 172 virgins and palaces in Islamic heaven.
Spanish train bombs: more Jihad extremists, basically the same bunch as the 9/11.
London train bombs: not the same 9/11 and Spain guys, but more British Muslims from Pakistan.
Virginia Tech: This one is so sad. Psychiatry started Cho out. Then Islamic recruiters told Cho he would get infinite sex in Muslim heaven from the 172 virgins so he converted. By trying to destroy Virginia Tech he thought he was attacking Bush’s aggression in Afghanistan.
London night club bombs: Good for the Brit cops, they have caught some of the guys and it is more of these Pakistan guys and doctors at that, some of them were even psychiatrists. Maybe it is time to have a serious think about what to do about Pakistan. Mixing up Islam, Muslims, psychiatry and Pakistan is a recipe for mass murder and terrorism. Trust me on this one.
It is no accident or coincidence the bigots who oppose religious freedom are inspired by Islamic thought.
Just look at some of the fine people on www.religiousfreedomwatch.org. EVERY SINGLE PERSON on there is a zealot, bigot or extremist and you will find that most of them have extensive criminal records. Take a look at these criminal records and you will find the influence of Islam.
Charlotte Kates: this young woman is a card-carrying member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. They are kind of the poster child for Muslim terrorists and an inspiration to Islamic murderers all over the world. What is her problem?
Peter Alexander: this man makes hate films. He is also building some kind of an amusement park in the Arab Gulf. Is is clearly doing the bidding of Islamist extremist jihad promoting masters all the way around.
Patricia Greenway: this woman is Alexander’s business partner and lover. She likes to live the high life and Arab money helps out there. Word in Ybor City is that she has her eye on an Enzo.
Kristi Wachter: she puts out a daily hate newsletter. She has paid for the theft of materials from churches. She says she used to run a record company but how much money could it make? It seems to me she is getting her money from bin Laden and his friends.
David Touretzky: don’t be fooled. This man is not a mouse brain researcher, he is a bomb expert. Who is really paying for his research? Could it be the same bomb makers loose in Iraq?
Keith Henson: first, don’t forget that but for www.religiousfreedomwatch.org this man would still be on the loose. He’s not just a bomb expert but a proved bomb maker. And who wants to pay for bombs? Jihad extremists! Who is paying for him to be able to buy toothpaste in jail? Could it be a guy called Osama?
Tory Bezazian: she walked away from her husband of many years to engage in hate activities. Where does she get money? The answer is Islam. She is a directly funded agent of the Los Angeles Koranic Council.
Andreas Heldal-Lund: the man is proud to support Lars Gule who was behind bombings in the Middle East. That sort of speaks for itself now doesn’t it?
As to the site, www.religiousfreedomwatch.org, it is paid for 100% by my company, American Coast Title. I am one of the owners. The other two owners, Frank Berriz and Linda Blood are 100% behind what I am doing as is our parent underwriter Stewart Title. We also get pretty good support from our employees although it would be illegal of me to impose my political beliefs on them.
Does it surprise you that I am being attacked by Indonesians? Not a coincidence that Indonesia is an Islamic country. The company is willing to pay a nice reward to the person who will stand up and help me stop them. Please look at my site for details.
Props to George Ramirez. These guys came around to poke fun at the company. He stood up like a real man and sent them on their way. Can’t say for a fact that they were Islamic jihadists but the truth always comes out!
Expect without doubt a lot of trouble in Glendale. That’s where American Coast Title is located as well as a dense population of Armenians. The Armenians don’t like Arab Muslims so the area is getting very tense as the clock ticks down for Islamic terrorism.
So I am calling for the total elimination of Islam. Many other religious choices are available to those currently in Islam. Islam must go and no Muslim can be allowed to remain anywhere in the world.
All Mosques must either be destroyed or made into something else. The other day we did a title for one that was converted into a shopping center, now that’s a good use for one!
All copies of the Koran must be rounded up and burned or otherwise destroyed. If libraries insist on keeping them for historical reasons they have to be under lock and key and they have to post a guard to make sure no one copies them.
Conversion to another validated religion or acceptance of atheism are the only options I see. No other religion is associated with state sponsored terror as documented by the US State Department Report on Terrorism.
One thing that has to happen after is that women have to wear normal clothes. No more of these Islamic things. I mean local clothes are fine and kind of cute but no symbol of Islam can remain as it will just get cause restimulation of what started out as the worship of a giant magnetic stone by savage nomads. So get rid of all those crescent moons and so on!
This is a strong statement but it is time to end these attacks with bombs full of nails and gas. No other group does this. It is all and always back to Islam, Muslims, the Koran and groups like the Taliban and various sleeper cells.
Stand up with me on this one. Stand tall with me against Muslims who kill in the name of jihad and Islam and the false words of the Koran hoping for 172 virgins in a palace. Stand shoulder to shoulder with me to stop the next bunch of suicidal bigots and zealots from burning down your city.

I had the same thing about 2 weeks ago. everyone was laughin at the way i walked. but it was definatly my most painful experience
Brother, I feel your pain, when I was 12 I was kicked in the nuts and had to same symptoms.Twisted testicle. That was the worst pain I have ever felt. I was the proud owner of 14 stiches on my sack. Now I have another issue on the testicle that was twisted I have a large mass i'm freaked out and I need to have it checked, I'm really praying that it is just scar tissue and not a tumor. Do you have anything like that on your boys
This just happened to me today and it hurt like CRAZY! I was at play practice and when I told my mom what was happening (pain in my nuts) she just thought it was nerves for performing. But we went to the doctor and my right testicle was swollen like 10x bigger than the other one, and apparently it was blue? We went to the ER and I got an ultrasound and a needle providing me with fluids, then I went straight to surgery. Now I'm wearing a jock-strap thing. WEIRD.
I'm 13.
i had something similiar to that like 2 days ago, im 12, wat do u think i can do, coz it is really painful
