What Causes Painful, Walnut Sized Lump Between Testicle And Leg?
mmymy husband has a walnut sized lump between his testicle and leg. He says it is very painful and is clearly visible, and can be felt deep under his skin. I'm not sure if this could be associated with it, but he is a type 1 diabetic with heart disease.

It could be a Inguinal hernia specially if you can feel the testicle separately. Does it change in size with posture or completely disappear on lying down? Anyways, get it checked by a Surgeon and you might very well require a small surgery for the same. But, it is important to be dealt with as it can cause dangerous complications. So, it would be better to get it evaluated and treated. Take care and let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
