Age: 33 Height: 69'' Weight: 180lbs Pain in left testicle fro apprx 2-3yrs.  Ultrasound showed no lump or tumor.  Vericocele was found to be cause for pain.  Received series of cord block injections and anti-inflammatory meds. Pain began to radiate from left lower abdomen and into the left testicle.  Ultrasound shows no hernia, however, physical exam led my current physician to believe I have a hernia.  I have recently read about "NutCracker Syndrome".  Is this a common issue, mis-diagnosis of this syndrome.  I ask because my urologist wants to go straight into shaving my spermatic cord...???

Summarized question: Is radiating pain from abdomen to testicle sign of nutcracker syndrome?
