Help!!

I had a numb/tingling sensation running up my thigh to my crotch, which by itself wasnt that big of a deal. But then i discovered that my right nut is swollen up significantly. This might seem like a funny thread, but im kinda freaking out here. I dont have medical insurance:cry:

Any input?

You're not in a fraternity are you? In my college days I was forced to eat dog food as a toga-clad pledge and the next day my jewels swole up something fierce. The swelling quickly reduced on its own.

But in all seriousness, figure out a way to get that looked at. Community health care screening, public health clinic, even one of those private light-emergency clinics. If all else fails and you cannot get it examined, go to the emergency room at the county hospital. I would call the county hospital first to see what your options are before using emergency services. Help is out there, but you must seek it out.

Please get it looked at. Good luck.

Sorry to ask, but was it both nuts or just one?

Both, but it was a reaction to something in the Alpo with tobasco sauce, this I am certain.

If I were in your shoes, I would Google public health services and the city you live in. Failing that I would contact your state health department for a referral.

And thanks to rationing, you'll do what many Canadians do when in search of quality health care: Go to the U.S.

It's called Medical Tourism and it is very common in counties with free, COMPREHENSIVE, medical care.

Maybe not you, but many Canadians go elsewhere for treatment because of rationing.

Limiting your knowledge base to Michael Moore will provide you with a very skewed, and incorrect, view of the United States. Michael Moore hates America.

Nobody is denied health care in the U.S. for lack of funds. It is available, but you must be willing to seek it out.

just to throw this in there.

My brothers wife was pregnant, and for her first trimester they did not have medical coverage, because his work would not qualify it. We were watching animal cops and there were some abanded puppies. a full on ambulance came and some were taken into surgery.

What kind of world is it when human babies are given second priority over puppies. Dont get me wrong, puppies are damn cute. But where are our priorities when dogs get preference over humans and babies?

You don't get denied? You get humiliated, and treated like a second class citizen, and forced to wait far longer than ther "paying" patients...not to mention the embarrassing talks with the billing dept as to why you can't pay and when you will......anyway, get your nut checked out, just in case it's serious.

You may be right, a non-paying patient showing up at a private practice might be treated in such a way.

Public health services do not reflect your statement. In fact, an employee at public health clinic treating anyone as a 'second-class citizen' would be crucified.

What about the pharmacy though? After you go to this public health place, how do you get your meds?That's also an embarrassment. I just know how they act around here, from experience...we had insurance...paying 160 every two weeks...until we realized that they wouldnt cover my pre- existing depression. I havent had meds in 6 months.

that's not cool. what if you have an infection? just go to the emergency room of your nearest hospital. they will look at it, write you a prescription for antibiotics and send you a bill. you don't need cash or insurance. at least not here you don't.
