Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Meth can interfere with the blood supply of different organs in the body. The kind of severe pain that you have described can be due to reduced blood supply to the testis.

It is an emergency and should not be neglected. I would suggest that you visit the ER. Please also refrain from using meth again.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Preeti Parakh
