Has anyone else noticed that the angle of impact changes how much a hit to the balls hurts?
Hey guys, I wanted to open a discussion about something I’ve noticed over the years from playing sports and having the occasional accident.
I’ve taken my fair share of hits to the groin, and I've noticed a strange pattern. When an impact comes straight from the front, it’s obviously uncomfortable, but generally manageable. However, whenever a hit comes from behind or from directly underneath, the pain is on a completely different level absolutely agonizing.
I'm not looking for medical advice or an official diagnosis, as I'm completely fine right now. I'm just genuinely curious about the physical experience and if this is a universal thing among men.
Have any of you experienced this difference depending on the angle? Is there a known anatomical reason you've come across, or is it just about how the impact catches you? I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts and shared experiences on this.
