Anyone else get testicle pain from boron?

[Shiznown]

I took boron in the past at 10mg and had some hot flashes, but it helped with my joints. So, I decided to try 3mg and it did help my wrists(mild arthritis), but ever so often, my testicles felt weird, like pulsating feeling. I didn't think much of it, until I started having pain. After figuring out it was probably the boron, I stopped taking it. That was 3 weeks ago and I'm still having pain. Anyone else have a problem like this? I have an appointment with the doctor next month, but trying to bump it up.

Haven't heard of this problem but maybe someone who has will chime in.

Isn't boron in some testosterone boosters? OP, are you taking a test booster with boron?

Just boron. I see the doc later today, hopefully she has some insight.

I will lead with...I'm a single person so that doesn't determine efficacy.

Before and after blood draws showed no change in free, Total T, and Estrogen...

Update: Saw the doc and she couldn't find anything. I'm going for an ultra-sound in two days. I read online someone has a similar problem and they took phosphorus acid and that solved the problem. That seems like it would cause other issues..They went on to state that boron can interfere with calcium and cause blockages from the boron try to get rid of excess calcium. Does any of that sound accurate?

Do you also eat a lot of any of these:

Boron in Food

It's in a lot of stuff, doubt an extra 6mg is causing a problem?

Really good:

Boron (EHC 204, 1998)

Things aren't always that simple. Dosage, the form of the mineral taken, how it interacts with other minerals, ect.

Let's run the math though-you were having pain, you thought it was boron, you stopped boron, you still have pain. . .after THREE WEEKS.
Not simple perhaps, but I think you may (as you often do, based off of your other threads) be majoring in the minors. I think you might want to look elsewhere than the trace minerals you are supplementing

Vey very valid point. As for orginal question i dont think its causing your pain. Intermittent testicle pain is quite common, and can have hundreds of causes, most of which arent anything to worry about. Reason i know this is this what ive been told from a urologist, endocrinologist, and family doctor that ive all gone to about my testicle pain.

There are other things you can use for joint issues. Stuff like cissus Xt can help from SNS. In bulk it works well.

Why are you taking boron, curious.

 

[Shiznown]

Okay, so I had an ultrasound and this is the result:

I read that these cysts can go away on their own. I hope that's the case. The pain has been less as of late.

Confusing post! Some context would have been good. Did you take and test for boron yourself or are you referring to results of other testing or research?
