My sympathies go out to Landry, hopefully he doesnt lose a nut in the process. My nephew (8 years old) had to go into surgery last week for testicular torsion. He handled it like a trooper (they gave him morphine, which doesn't seem ethical to give to an 8yr old IMO). Although it wasn't a sports injury, the doctor said it isn't uncommon for athletes to get knocked in the jewels and have one twist up on them, requiring immediate surgery. He said its EXTREMELY painful, not just overstating here, but it usually gets to the point where the guy throws up from the pain. I'm sure Landry doesn't have this problem b/c if he had it would have been MUCH bigger news
