Hey everyone. I apologize if there is a better sub forum for this topic. I didn't see a health section. I apreciate any and all advice anyone can give me and I will try to return the favor. I will start by saying that I am 25 and i eat a healthy diet. I have been eating a lot of organic eggs lately, maybe too much. Nonetheless, I have been an extremely healthy eater for the past several years. I eat a good amount of nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables. I am a vegetarian and just recently started to eat eggs. I do some meditation and some gi gong, but not as much as I would like. I work at a job that I do not believe in and takes time away from artistic projects. It involves a lot of standing and biting my tongue. I feel like this exasurbates my problem to a degree on some level. The problem is that my left testicle twists sometimes and causes discomfort. It also raises higher a little easier than the right one. If I cough, the left one goes up a tad higher. The discomfort is slight. But I worry that this takes away from my energy/testosterone. When this occurs, I find myself lower in energy. I don't know if it is the direct physiological effect of the problem or if it is the fact that I am focused on it and worrying about it. I recently went on vacation to a wonderful spot in colorado between Denver and boulder. The people were so great, the energy was so positive and driven. It lifted me high. This problem was hardly apparent there. Really only the first two days. This problem is accompanied by a strange feeling in my left hip/lower abdomen area as well as a little bit under my left rib at times. I also feel a similar feeling in my lower back. My family doctor has said it is a nerve issue with a nerve in my back. First occasion, he said it was sciatica, the second time, he said it was a different nerve. He prescribed me anti-imflammatory medication. I did not get it because I don't like ingesting synthetic medication and I worry that that would just treat the symptoms and not the cause. I don't know if it would actually help heal me. It seems that qigong helps, but I have yet to have a qigong session over 15 minutes. This is something that is apparent in my life and I would love to get over. It makes me feel less powerful at times. I made another Drs appointment for Monday morning. My last one was several months back. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? Edit: I must add, I have been retaining now for just under 30 days. I don't think I have been moving the energy as well as I should and would really love to know the best way. I have been doing standing qi gong via the "stand still be fit" videos on youtube. I thought that I would be reaping the benefits of such a stint without releasing, but I have only on a few occasions. Second edit: although I eat healthy, I tend to put a little too much focus on food at times. Also, I over eat on occasions ( I regularly have 4 egg omelets and have even had a few 7 egg omelets). If I have some nuts, I tend to eat more than I probably should. With this being said, this problem seems worse when my stomach is full. After I digest it all and get rid of it, it tends to not bother me as much. I don't want to influence anyone's help or advice, but my intuition tells me hat I focus too much on that area with too much focus on sex and eating. But, why would this cause such a feeling that extends from my lower left rib, around to my back and down to the back of my left leg (upper hamstring below left buttock)?
