Hello.

For the last few months I have been experiencing occasional lower back pain. I am almost sure that this is caused by too much wrong type of sitting (doing a PhD). I don't know if this is connected, but two days ago I started noticing the pain in my testicle, almost exclusively while sitting. Longer I sit, more it hurts but when i stand up it almost immediately vanishes. I have not noticed any other kind of oddities (but I am no expert - i do not do regular check ups). Since I am not in my home country it is highly inconvenient for me to see a doctor. However, I cannot evaluate how serious could this be. Any opinion on this? Sounds like something usual? How urgent it is to see a doctor? Should I try something by myself?

I would be greatly thankful if somebody could advise me on this!
