Hello, So About Four Days Ago, I Was Lifting Some
Question: Hello,
So about four days ago, I was lifting some items and hurt my back. From the next day to the present, I have a sharp pain in my lower right back and in my right testicle (which is identical pain to an inguinal hernia I had in 2015), as well as a pain in my lower right leg. However, I%E2%80%99ve seen two physicians since this injury who did physical checks and did not feel a hernia, and they believe it%E2%80%99s more of a back pull.
So my question is can a lower back pull radiate to the testicle?
