Lately after a night of drinking I have been having testicular pain as well as lower back/mid upper abdomen pain.

What the eff is up with that?

Its scarring me, i only drink one time a week at most and its usually no more than ten beers and/or no more than four shots of liquor.

My friends have always prided me in being able to drink a lot without getting sick, i still don't get sick when i drink as far as puking goes. Two days ago i drank about 6 beers and four shots of vodka at my best friends party and the night ended with me in the bathroom feeling horribly nautious but unable to puke... my friends are worried because this is out of my character



That was saturday night, its now monday and i am having light testicular pain, just enough to be uncomfortable and pain in the upper abdomen

the testicular pain only occurs if they're irritated or move around, i'm fine if i'm just sitting

the abdomen pain increases if i push on the chest or take deep breaths. i almost feel myself taking shorter breaths to adapt to the pain



I figured the testicular pain/lower back pain is related through the renal system (aka kidney filtration) which would be effected through drinking alcohol although i'm not sure its supposed to hurt like this. As far as the upper abdomen pain i have no clue.

anybody know whats wrong with me?

possible liver failure ... GO SEE A DOCTOR

i havn't been drinking for more than a year or so.... and not more than the average high schooler.

I was under the impression that the liver takes a lot more alcohol abuse to become damaged.

Usually not, but everybody's different, go see a doctor.

I'd rather not burden my parents financially with a trip to the doctor if i can possible diagnose myself. The internet has a wealth of knowledge i'm just having trouble finding the right stuff... which is why i'm asking for y'alls help.

I've looked through the symptoms for different types of liver failure and kideny failure, kidney stones, all sorts of things and nothign seems to sound right... i found this though:

He seems to share some common symptoms but his MD response wasn't that insightful

Quit drinking, problem solved. It's a huge waste of time and money and it lowers your testosterone and athletic performance.

Not much then...fucking hell mate thats a huge amount of booze to be drinking once a week, no matter what the bullshit artists might tell you.

i am not drinking as of now... i just wanted to find out if theres some problem in my body that needs to be fixed. just because it occurs after alcohol consumption doesn't mean that not drinking will make it completely go away you know?

i just want to be safe

its now tuesday and i'm still feeling the testicular pain and abdominal pain. its been three full days now. i think i might schedule a doctor apptmnt tomorrow

i'm going to try drinking mass amounts of water to flush out my renal system and hopefully alleviate the testicular pain. the abdominal pain is still a mystery to me.
