3. It warranted a morphine drip.
Particularly during the testicular ultrasound.

39. You'll only get a fractured testicle if you've been doing something wrong.
Have you?

Ok, bad question. What is it that you've been doing?

40. likewise
I almost typed "ditto." Think I might have lost one, if my better half knew I used the oxycontin addict's catch phrase.

20. Yup. It was a softball injury.
The images of his testicle were circulated throughout hospital staff. They were quite impressed. Ironically, I'd gotten pregnant, probably the week before it happened.:rofl:

No treatment- just pain meds (and boy, did he need those!)

Might be a way to protect oneself from a would-be rapist.

23. no, but I know they can be 'ruptured'
I once did it to someone in a soccer game. Hey, don't want to get hit, stay the fuck out of my 6 meter box. I jump with one knee up, felt bad about it too. and yes, he was called for the penalty, not me.

26. a friend

Other wise...OUCH!!!!

28. mmm, it wasn't pleasant
and obviously less pleasant for the recipient. It the second most gruesome sports incident I have been involved in a game with (the other was completely unrelated to me, thankfuly, but I saw, and heard, break his femur on the basketball court. that snap haunted my dreams for a long time.

33. That reminds me, I gotta update my living will.
I must leave clear instructions that my doctors ARE to pull the plug if I ever rupture a testicle. I've been hit there, HARD, a few times and know what how painful that can be. I can't imagine wanting to live through a ruptured one.

By the way, there were some researchers a number of years back who were monitoring the brains of women giving birth who compared their results to brainscans of men following testicle injuries. They determined that getting kicked in the nuts is just as painful as childbirth (shorter duration of course, but just as painful), so it reasons that actually BREAKING your balls would be MORE painful than childbirth.

Yeowch.
