You could say that. My lil' fellas survived, though I've been left with a mild case of orchialgia (chronic intermittent pain of the testicles and/or scrotum). Every once in a while (about twice a year or so), for no reason, it'll just feel like someone dropped a bowling ball on my crotch. Beyond painful, but it usually goes away in an hour or so. A small price to pay to keep one's testes. It's really only a problem when I have an attack while driving. Needless to say, I swerve a little.
I've had intense groin pain before, and it wasn't pretty. Luckily it was only inflammation and not testicular torsion. The pain felt like none other.
TESTICULAR/PROSTATE CANCER is a good testament of the old wise saying: "KARMA IS A b****" my prayer is with the OP. WISH U VIBRANT HEALTH~~!
