But i'm really curious as to how one manages to rupture a bollock? Blunt force/impact? Wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackheart Posted July 5, 2019 Share dont want to get too personal and if you don't want to answer that is all good. But i'm really curious as to how one manages to rupture a bollock? Blunt force/impact? Kayak. I rolled and ended up half in half out. So right leg completely out, left leg still locked in.The boat flipped back and the hull edge smacked square in the centre. Crushed the left one and then dragged it back into the boat. It really does bring tears to the eyes. I didn't realise the extent of the damage until 3 months later when after the bruising and most of the swelling had gone that I realised something was wrong I decided to go and have it checked out. Ultrasound revealed a mostly healed rupture and a large fluid build up which eventually had to be drained. That basically was opening up the bag, hoovering it all out, filling with antibiotic vodka and sewing back up. Its's a nasty one and takes a while to recover from.As I said, best to try and avoid it. Its a proper ball ache. Cois, dirtypot, Robbie Stewart and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
