Default Tingling of the Scrotum/Testicles

Hi everyone.

Im not sure this is the right site for me but i've pretty much nowhere else to go at this point as I've been to Pelvic pain sites, pudendal nerve sites etc. I basically suffer from a host of urological/pelvic problems but most of them are manageable and I could lead a normal life with them. But one symptom I cannot deal with anymore is a severe tingling in my scrotum. It started about 13 years ago and was accompanied by a bulge in my pelvic floor (area between rectum and testicles). I also sometimes get a numbness in the left testicle but that is pretty rare. And occaisionally I can feel my penis moving. Of course a mans penis moves countless times throughout the day but you're not supposed to feel it. But with me it moves more frequently than is natural and almost feels like a foreign object is moving it. I assumed and still assume that its an injury and that the bulge may be a hernia of sorts even though I can't find any info about hernias in that region. I've been to a host of urologists over the years. Most of them did very little until one recently put me on Lyrica which did all but erase the tingling. I took myself off of the Lyrica because I thought it was a series of stretches and exercises that was helping me. I was wrong and am now back on the Lyrica and am waiting for it to kick in.

As I mentioned, I've had this horrible sensation for 13 years with a mysterious 3 year hiatus at one point. But it came back last fall and it makes life so difficult. If i equated it to pain I would put it at a 6 or 7 out of 10. I actually just saw a Neurologist in Boston yesterday but they said its not neurological in nature. I find that hard to believe and was just curious if anybody else has these issues. I certainly hope not as I wouldn't wish this condition on anybody but I would be eager to hear from anybody else with a similar problem . I would be so greatful for any help.

Thanks.
