<s>[INST] I have lifted something quite heavy a couple of hours ago. At first I felt a wave of pain in my left abdomen but it would set on and off every 20 seconds or so. Now it feels better. Though I still sense a bit of discomfort down there and it kind of seems to go to my leg, (through my left testicle?). While pressing that area doesn t hurt, I also can t see any bulges or swellness. What can it be? [/INST] Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query.  Although it might need a physical examination to opine on this, it seems that you have stretched your abdominal musculature while lifting heavy article. Also, if you were not careful in supporting the testes with properly fitting undergarments, the testes might have got inflamed testis resulting in epididymis orchids giving rise to such symptoms. As there was no bulge or swelling, a hernia could be excluded for the present pending a personal physical examination. Till the diagnosis was confirmed, I would advise you with some anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. </s>
