Hello Sarah,
I have had two clients with painful testicles which as they describes is
more excruciating than their back or leg pain. they both responded well to
treatment to their back the second one "fixed" his up completely with some
simple exercises I usually give for back pain.
its been 4 weeks now and he hasn't had another "attack" when he was
reporting at least one serious (sometimes more) painful episode a day.
Cheers,
Anna.

Dear Bernedette,
I have treated a patient with painful testicles. He responded to McKenzie
treatment for low thoracic / upper lumbar problem. He did not have pain in
his back, but the area was painful to palpation, and his testicular pain
resolved with treatment. I did nothing directly to his testicular region.
If you are going to use e-stim, I would recommend putting it next to the
spine at the level which includes testicles in dermatome. (Sorry that I
don't have time to look that up for you right now.)
Good luck & please let us know how your patient responds to PT Rx.
Sarah Fern Striffler, PT

Dear all,
An urologist asked for my help with a patient with painful testicles. He
can not find anything untoward. So he wonders if physiotherapy might help. I
have been bouncing ideas off my colleague and could not come up with valid
reasons not to try ultrasound (not a very nice prospect though),
interferential therapy or pulsed shortwave diathermy, for pain relief,
unless this patient is of an age where fatherhood might still be considered.
Does anyone has any ideas on this?
Bernadette Sangeelee.
