Accepted Answer

: Wear a good scrotal support and use local heat for a few days. If not better you will have to see a Urologist. If you are in or near an academic  med center they often have a free clinic- you can try that. Good luck. I'm still puzzled how a golf swing would your testicle.

Question 2

why does my inner shoulder hurt from a very wild and aggressive repetitive golf swing? it hurts at angles especially prone. the mri came back clean..

Accepted Answer

Sprained/Strained...: The shoulder muscles could be severely Sprained/Strained without showing on MRI. If one has given that Shoulder the adequate Rest needed and if simple NSAIDs used appropriately, have not helped then seeking the help of PT (Physical Therapy) could be an option.

Question 3

i was practicing my full golf swings yesterday, and i am now experiencing some mild pain on my left wrist. should i just leave my wrist alone?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: You probably have a minor sprain.  You can ice it, take some antiinflammatories like Ibuprofen or naproxen.  But most importantly, don't try golfing again while it's still hurting.  You need to let it heal first.

Question 4

Imaging: There are many conditions that may cause a swelling on or around the ribs. If you have had a recent fall or accident, a bruise can cause a lump which will most likely resolve with time. The other causes of a mass may be related to an abnormal growth. It is best to start with a visit to your doctor and an
 x ray or another imaging test of the area.
