Abstract
Chronic scrotal pain is most commonly explained by the radiculitis that is caused by low back strain. The diagnosis is made chiefly by taking a careful history and by excluding other causes. Treatment directed to relieve sensory nerve root irritation at the T10 to L1 levels is often successful.
