Havin' problems... down there...

Just hope you don't have a tortion...it's basically when one...well...does a 180. Sometimes, if they don't turn themselves back to..."start", they have to be surgically turned.:eek:

I'd make an appointment with a urologist. You don't want to play around or wait for something bad to get worse.

I had a buddy that got a torsion. He was a roofer, and it happened in some kinda fall. Went to the ER and the doctor, um, I guess unscrewed it. After that everything was fine.

Apparently it doesn't take much to get the boys twisted up like that.
 
I knew this guy at work. Just swung himself up onto the forklift like he'd done a thousand times, and OWWWW!

He went to the doctor the next day - I don't think there was anything the doctor could do.. probably just told him to stay off of it for a few days.

He was hurtin' for a week.

I guess it was covered by workman's comp. I suppose now every employer he ever has will get to read about it. I wonder what kind of work restriction you can end up with for that?
