See the pudendal nerve in the pic below. That's most likely the culprit:

Pudendal neuralgia is the diagnosis often given in these cases after heavy squatting when the pain becomes chronic. I wouldn't worry too much about it if the pain lasts only a day or so because you are going to put a lot of pressure on that nerve if you train like a mofo. It will be more common on cycle because you're lifting heavier than normal and carrying more water weight which adds to the pressure your muscles put on your nerves.

Sup Bruno,

Thanks for the updates. as you can read on my thread, I have also increased my HCG and have experienced extreme sensitivity in my testicles the last week.
I have been assured it is common.

But keep us updated.

Nate

Today I will do what I never thought possible!

Thanks MA +1 (when I can again), very useful info. Had no idea that heavy squatting/deadlifts could have that sort of effect.

I think I know why its only my left testicle though...I have an old knee injury in my left knee so I must be compensating somehow on my left versus right.

@MA - You explained that your testicular pains came from the laws of gravity ?

The law of gravity + a shitload of weight on your shoulders could do much worse than give you a funny feeling in your balls. :lol:

Quick update, weight seems to be stable at 95kg. Been outta gym for the past week as I hurt my back again at gym been going for physio sessions to sort it out properly..45 mins of absolute torture but its helping alot!

I'm currently struggling with some ED issues...I've tried taking 1 cialis tablet but it doesn't seem to help, guess I need to up the dose to two. I have two tablets left and would have loved to order more but my supplier has closed up shop temporarily cos of the recent police steroid bust. Any advice as to what I can take to help with my ED? Its putting abit of a strain on our marriage

My guess is your estradiol is too high. Clomid boosts both T and E. When the ratio is off your libido goes to shit. This is another reason to rather use 50mg/day for 2 weeks rather than 100mg for 1 week if you don't use aromasin.

I've used clomid at 50mg for 2 weeks. Started the nolva on saturday. Should I just wait it out till the clomid is out my system or use letro to get my estrodial levels down?

I would add letro. Start at 3 drops a day and see from there. If you get your boners back for a day or 2 but then find yourself back at failure to launch then reduce to 2 drops.

Nolvadex does reduce the effectiveness of letrozole though and the extent varies from person to person -from negligible to as much 40%+ so you have to just play with the dose. Next time use aromasin for PCT bud.

That said, it could be a number of things that you just need to wait out. Recovery can be a bitch. I don't find them to do much but many guys rate natural supps with tribulus and eurycoma longifolia in for post cycle lidido help.

Or you could try Fillet's special Chinese chao mingnan pomp pills. :lol:

LOL, they work for me, but i take one every three days and have been doing so for years, the ingredients are also for longetivity and on bid or buy they sell they under bodybuilding supps. LOL. I am always up (no pun) for a shag-a-thon.

Sorry to hear about your ED Bruno, hope you come (no pun again) right soon bud.

Quick update: My weight has been very stable at 95kg, which is very strange as I was out of gym for two and half weeks due to a lower back injury that I've been working with my physio to get right. There was however some strength loss but not as much as I feared, still well above my pre cycle strength even after a lay-off from gym and a still sensitive lower back.

I'm going into Ramadaan now so holding onto my gains is going to be a challenge. Luckily we'll be fasting for only 12 hours a day so I have enough time to get my calories in. Plus I have a power rack, bench, bar and weights at home so I can still get in my workouts after mosque in the evenings. I plan to keep my workouts low volume and heavy with 3 workouts per week and 2 or 3 compound exercises per workout.

Any feedback on my planned approach would be greatly appreciated.
