What Do Lower Backache And Numbness In The Thighs Indicate?
I have lower back pain that started over the weekend, really sore and stiff while sitting. I also have pain in one testicle, it feels like I ve been kicked. Also I have numbness and tingling in my thigh. Should I go to a doctor or seek help from a chiropractor?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms are concerning for lumbar spinal nerve compression. It can occur due to various conditions like osteoporosis of spine, intervertebral disc, vertebral fracture etc. X-ray and MRI scan of the spine is indicated. Please follow up the urgent care for detailed evaluation. Meanwhile take rest and Advil 4 times a day for pain relief.
