Testicles symptoms and conditions

My experience with Lisinopril is brutal! I'm 37 years old and was prescribed this drug for high blood pressure. After 2 yrs. on a 10 mg. dose per day I started having numbness in both of my arms I also had sharp pain shooting down both arms at night to the point where I couldn't sleep.And when I did fall asleep I would just wake up an hour later in tremendous pain. Ive been to three doctors. They tested me for carpal tunnal and told me I had it. But didn't schedule any plan of action, so I thought with some rest it would go away but it didn't It got worse. Then I started to have severe back pain that went clear through to my So the doctor wanted me to get an ultrasound of my testicles to check for testicular cancer. The test was negative. Since the pain was on the right side in my lower ribcage area they then thought it may be my kidneys. They then sent me to a urologist who wanted to go up my penis to scope my bladder with a camera and check for bladder cancer. Which turned out to be a very very painful experience. There was nothing wrong he said. During this time the pain was as bad as ever. Then they wanted to do exploritory kidney surgery on my right kidney. I was thinking my god am I gonna die.....I went through the surgery and the doctor said there was nothing wrong.I could not believe I was in this much pain and they couldn't find anything wrong. I thought I was dying for real. Then I decided to go on web md and try to find out anything that it could possibly be. I couldn't find anything with all the symptoms that made any seance. A few months went by with no relief... I decided one day to google my medication (Lisinopril) and joint pain, w/ arm numbness well. This site popped up and I started reading and Im glad I did. I believe that for the past year that I thought I was dying and no one could tell me why is because of this toxic poisons pill Ive been taking for two years is the reason for all of it. Ive spent thousands of dollars, had two surgery's ,went through all this pain all because of a little poison pill for blood pressure. I have flushed my pills and I,m never taking the drug again. I warn anyone who has high blood pressure if your doctor mentions the word Lisinopril tell them no!!!!!!!!! It is poison for the body.I believe it would killed me if I hadn't stopped taking it and not one doctor mentioned it may be the pill I was taking everyday for my blood pressure.

I have been on Levaquin for about 4 days now and i have been having a hard time trying to sleep and found myself being restless when trying to relax. I would get mad all of a suden and begin to force my body to move, which in turn caused my muscle weakness to increase. I also am now noticing that since i started this medicine, my testicles have had randome feels of pain as well as when my girlfriend decides to mess around w/ me, i find my self going up and down, incapable of keeping it up as a result. has anyone else had this problem? how long after im off this medicine will this stop?

60 YO male: three weeks on .4 Flomax

I went on it because after Parathyroid surgery for kidney stones, I was still having symptoms. Mostly a painful urgency to pee, with only tablespoons coming out. That would last for 3-6 hours. I started out with pyridium (the pill that turns your urine orange). That seemed to help, but I was still having some lower-right abdomen KS pain events with the urgency. The urologist suspects I still have some stones that have yet to come out.

My prostate exam and PSA were good. No signs of cancer. I don't think the size of the prostrate was measured or whether BPH was an issue because of the obvious Parathyroid issue.

I started taking .4 Flomax, got the lightheadedness that evolved into a feeling of being slightly high most of the time. And feeling mildly relaxed.
Flow was improved, maybe a few less pees per day. Still peeing at least twice a night; good stream, good quantity.

Not a runny nose, but a thicker discharge. This week (3 weeks in) the nose is better.

Lower volume and clearer ejaculate. After the last ejaculation, I went right into an urgency and lower right KS pain event that lasted 6 hours. I was uncomfortable, but OK on Tylenol and pyridium. My events frequently happen on Saturday/Sunday. I have tried to figure out what, if anything I might be doing to cause or break this cycle, but there seems to be no correlation. I was hoping to get rid of the painful and disruptive urgency episodes, but so far they are still here every week or so.

Dreams have been a bit weird.

I have a swollen knee and toe, but this could be due to some hiking while on vacation. I saw the posts about painful joints, but can't make a direct connection yet.

Since Flomax three weeks ago, there seems to be a low level feeling in my lower abdomen. Not a pain as much as a presence, a tension. I think it's in the testicles, but you know how that is; accidentally smack one and the pain feels like it's inside the body.

After my vasectomy I developed a horrible infection called epididymo-orchitis which is extremely painful accompanied by horrible swelling of the testicles. The ER Dr. put me on 500mg of levaquin once a day for 14 days. I am on day 6 of the antibiotic and for 2 days now I am experiencing extreme abdominal pain to the point of crying and collapsing, sever diarrhea but feels like I can't empty my bowels which makes the abdominal pain worse. Until I read some of these other stories I didn't realize that my knees and hands ache like I have horrible arthritis may be due to this med. I would much rather deal with the pain and swelling of my testicles than the side effects of this drug.

They can't get my Mirena out. I'm a 43 year old mother of two. I had a Mirena inserted in April 2003. I was a sleep-deprived new mum at the time so wasn't in the mood for sex anyway. Five years on and I was very happy with getting no periods, and reported to the GP to see about getting a new one inserted. She couldn't find it, and the examination was damn painful too. She said that I would probably need a general anesthetic to take it out. I started researching Mirena and suddenly made the connection - perhaps my lack of libido was due to this? I could hardly blame lack of sleep anymore and I hate having my breasts touched and never feel like having sex. I knew the Mirena was still there but she insisted I had to have an ultrasound scan t prove this. Sure enough, it's there, in the right place. I think the doctor who inserted it cut the threads too short. Anyway, I now want it out, and a tubal ligation to stop me getting pregnant again - still waiting to hear if they'll do both under the same anesthetic. My husband was prepared to have a vasectomy, but guess what, he had a botched hernia ten years ago which caused one of his testicles to atrophy so they aren't certain that a vasectomy will be successful - seems ridiculous for us both to be undergoing medical procedures so it's down to me again. Never got on with the pill - mood swings, weight gain, etc. I'm sure they never mentioned that it might need an operation to get the damn thing out when I had it inserted.

I first started to take Flowmax about three years ago and took it for about a year. I had most of the symptoms mentioned but also had swelling of one of my lymph nodes in the neck, also a nodule appeared next to one of my testicles (which I presume was another lymph node as it has now disappeared) , severe sore throat which had me off work for nearly a month. Together with all the other symptoms I thought I was on my way out! - Then I had reason to go away for a long weekend and forgot to take the Flowmax with me and most of the Symptoms disappeared!! It was only at this stage that I actually looked at the side affects of the drug on the packaging did I realize what I had put myself through. Never again will I take for granted that medicine "will do me good" I harsh lesson. My neck gland is still the size of a golf ball, and now through ultrasound they have found nodules in my thyroid gland. Is this all part of the same thing I ask myself? (ps I did not get the painful erection which was more or less the only one I did not get)

I was prescribed doxycycline for an infection in my testicles. After 5 days of taking 2 pills a day, the pain was diminishing and I was feeling better. However, I never took the pills with food, always took on an empty stomach. Everything was OK for those first 5 days. It was the 10th pill I took that I felt bad pain in my stomach and lower esophagus, a burning pain just below my rib cage. I could not hardly eat as the pain was so bad as food reached the end of my esophagus. I have stopped taking the pill and 4 days later each time I eat food as it passes through my esophagus and enters my stomach, I still experience bad pain. Its funny because there is no pain until food has traveled a good ways down.. It feels like doxycline has burned that connection of the esophagus with the stomach. I

I had some signs of a chlamydia infection and tested positive for chlamydia antibodies, so my doctor prescribed a 7 day course with 2 refills (total 21 days) of 100 mg twice a day. Almost immediately (like within a day or two) of beginning the doxy, my testicles swelled up, became painful, my joints began to ache (even though they had already done that to some extent before I started, they got a LOT worse on the doxy). By the time I finished the 21 day course I was a lot sicker than I had been before, I was weak, had a pounding heart, and even though it has now been a month since I stopped, I feel only slightly better, if at all. If someone could email me and give me some hope that this will go away and I will feel better, I will be very grateful.
Thanks.

I was prescribed Sulfameth for an inflamed cyst on my back. It was a 10-day prescription. The first symptom a few days after starting was unusual fatigue. This was followed by severe itching on my feet, though initially I didn't make the connection between the itching and the antibiotics. This itching then moved to my testicles, and the day after the prescription was finished I noticed redness on my testicles, small red splotches on my penis, and a large red splotch on my left elbow. At first I thought it was psoriasis, but I have no history of that and the only change in my usual physical/dietary regimen is the Sulfameth.

shrinking of testicles-hot sweats-loss of urine control-very tired,loss of sexual drive-currently taking 120 mils a day,any input would help

22.5 mg every three months for prostate cancer. hot fllashs, sweats, body took on female appearance, hair loss on upper torso, swollen breasts, sensitive testicles, shrunken penis, Low back ache, weak legs, loss of equilibrium. Second opinion urologist took me off lupron, said it wasnt necessary. No problems with prostate at any time. Reaction disappeared except for low back ache, weak legs, equilibrium, shrunken penis which I have had 4 years and may be permanent.

After taking Levaquin 500mg daily for seven days plus one injection:

Side Effects:
- Body Aches and Sore Joints - especially the shoulders
- Nausea
- Night Chills
- Swollen & Achy Testicles
- Swollen, Sore, Stiff Right Foot, protruding up through calve muscle

With four days of medication remaining I called my doctor and told him I could not continue. He switched me to Zithromax and most of my symptoms have disappeared. After being off Levaquin for four days, my foot is still very sore, to the point where it effects my ability to sleep.

shrinking of testicles

As i said before as guest #4939/40, i forgot to tell you that at 55 years doctor discovered a small prostate cancer, was given since july 1975 to feb 1997 4 to 5 shot of LUPRON, every 3 months, I got side effects of:Hot flashes, my penis reduced,no erections(has to take Viagra)in order to have a 75% erection,My breast grew a bigger size like a B cup, with tenderness poain on my nipples, after finished the treatment doctor said they will come back to their size, but not still there, feel frustated and angrybecause that small cancer at age 55 could have been treated with seed implants, my testicles got small,the semen is minimum and a lot of thinking that it worries me.

I am on my 3rd day of Levaquin, and I have decided to switch my medication to Augmentin. I have taken Augmentin before 875mg for my sinus infections, and it seems to clear my head up fine. Although I have had a previous sinus infection come back after taking Augmentin this Winter, my doctor thought that Levaquin would do the trick.
As of my 3rd dose, my sinuses feel better BUT:
My neck feels like I've been doing shrugs all day
My back itches
My wrists hurt
My testicles hurt from where I had a Vasectomy
I'm anxious
My throat it as dry as the desert
Headaches that come and go
Sore leg muscles
Trouble sleeping
Tightness breathing
What I do is call my doctor and tell them that "I know my body," and when my body doesn't feel right, I need to change my meds. I know Augmentin has worked before, and I believe it will work again. Guess what? They changed it!
I will never take Levaquin again, and I will tell anyone that this pill is nothing but an experimental dose that us humans are testing for Alien life. I don't know what to do with the rest of my pills, since I think they will POLUTE the Earth if I throw them away.
