You just had a whole message board full of know-it-alls rake you over the coals for a personal “family jewels” problem. What could be worse? I’ll tell you what, a severe problem with thine ballsack. When I die, I pray to god that the source of my demise is * nowhere near* my genitals.
You posted, you’re curious. We responded, we think you should see a doctor before you piss olive oil. You’re probably old enough so that every time you see your doctor he sticks his finger up your butt, might as well have him fix the part that matters most.
There is no shame, only the preservation of one’s ability to reproduce. I should coin that. Ok, I just did.
I was thinking maybe dehydration. I got that after someone said loads of beer (alcohol) gives them that same feeling.
Some pizza is really, really salty. Maybe more water would help. I don’t know why dehydration would give you nut pain, but dehydration can make pregnant uteruses contract…
But I just wanted to say that despite what horrors you may be feeling, you’re handling this thread quite maturely. I can feel your embarrassment, but I don’t think you should sweat it.
I’m laughing because I’m entertained by the amusing comments - not because I think you’re a freak.
I hope this is something quite simple. But I agree that perhaps a doctor might want to hear about this. Just in case.
Squid, your characterization of my diet and sex-life, apart from being juvenile and insulting, is wide of the mark. Do you really expect that someone who associates eating too much pizza with being kicked in the balls is likely to order it in more often than anyone else?
I’ve never been obliged to go without sex, although now that you mention it, the frequency of its occurance does seem to have dropped off coincident with my registration here in 2001… Hmmm…
Salt. You’re probably holding onto extra fluid. Groucho had the Answer: “If it hurts when you do that don’t do that!” Stop eating pizza and other very salty things.
Thanks Bosda, but I’m still not convinced. You said "The symptoms are the same. " … As far as I can see from reading through the links you gave, symptoms of MSG allergy/intolerance are pretty much confined to the upper half of the body (headache, breathlessness etc) and the only connection to gastro distress (assuming this to be at the root* of the Mudd Phenomenon) is a passing mention of slight nausea in one case.
Most good pizzas contain oregano. As well as documented gastro side effects, according to this site …
“Traditionally, oregano has been used to induce menstruation so pregnant women may want to avoid using it.” See? We’re heading in the right direction with this one, methinks.
