hello i have a couple of questions
It started about 4 months ago, i was at a holloween party and i helped carry the half kegs of beer up a couple flights of stairs, immediatley after that i got a throbbing pain in my left testicle, it went away in a couple of days but came back two weeks later, and was running down the back of my leg. i went to see my GP and he told me it may be a mild case of sciatica and he gave me some muscle relaxers. Im not big into taking meds so i postponed them for a while, month go's by and now it is Christmas Eve and i still have pain in buttox and starting to wrap to my abs and lower back, and i didn't feel right and had a rash on my legs and back, so i went to the hospital and was given a anti-inflamatory and some benedril for the rash, besides that they told me to see my Gp, so now i have a rash and a stiff lower back. I started taking benedril for the rash and muscle relaxers for the back thing, everything started to go away and than these three lumps shot up, they are small, the biggest one at about 1 cm, this started to scare me, so i go see doc again, he looks at them and tells me there is nothing to worry about. Since i was playing with them constantly,it was kind red around the area so he gave me antibiotics. I go home start the antibiotics/finish the antibiotics a week later, nodes are still there but i really didn't stop poking and fidgeting with them. i went to see another doctor and he told me they were fine and nothing to worry about, not happy with that response i went to see a urologist, he looked me over and checked the nodes and said there is nothing pathologic about them and not to worry, and if i wanted he would order a ct scan, i agreed and the test came back negetive. My questions is can three doctors be wrong or am i being a hypochondriac, it has been seven weeks and the nodes haven't gone away, they are not hard, slightly firm and more long than round, movement not to much but i don't know how much movement there can be in the groin, i would really appreciate any insight and advice
