Abdominal pain after PCT?

Hi there, I've been lurking around for months however just decided to make an account. Anyway so right about when I was done with my PCT (6 weeks ago) I noticed a dull feeling in my lower abdomen, right by the pelvic/groin area, I thought at first it was a pulled muscle but as it has not healed or gotten any better, I was wondering if this could have anything to do with high estrogen levels, or is this a part of the whole "feeling like garbage" after a cycle? I've had it checked out, have also had an ultra done and no hernia was found, I couldn't tell my doctor about my steroid usage as it will have a major impact on my insurance. I went on a test e 500mg per week for 12 weeks cycle. Has anyone had anything similar or know what is going on? The dull feeling in my lower right abdomen gets worse when I bend over, nearly goes away when I lay down. I appreciate you taking a minute of your time to read this, thanks.

- Sorry if this isn't in the correct section.
 
Some pain in the testes is normal as they don't like going to sleep and waking up. You probably would have felt this about four weeks into your cycle too if that's it.

Have you had blood work done? The liver and pancreas both can radiate pain in the lower abdomen, and it may be serious. I'd get a full work up done with AST/ALT/Bilirubin, EGFR, creatinine, testosterone, estradiol, LH and FSH, and a CBC. Most of that can be done for cheap through a private lab like Privatemdlabs.com, but the bilirubin will be extra. How's your blood pressure? Many issues that are serious will cause it to start to skyrocket.

My .02c :)

Thanks for the comment, I never thought about it being the liver as I have no yellow in my eyes and my piss is clear so thought I was golden, however, I will request to have them taken on Monday or Tuesday. And yes, you are absolutely right, a couple weeks in I felt slight ache in my testicles. I did run a liver cleanser for a couple weeks did not really change.

You're lucky in the states with privatemdlabs, here it's 250 bucks alone just for the liver values, combine that with the test and estrogen and you're up to 500. I had my levels checked prior to starting this cycle and was a whopping 350.
 
Edit, just checked my BP and it was at 143/69, before cycle it was 110/70. I'm not sure why it's so high right now, I haven't noticed anything regarding my bp, just tested it after reading your response.

Sometimes just checking it can elevate blood pressure. I like to do it first thing in the morning. Hopefully it's nothing, but better safe than sorry. :)

what liver issues in specific would radiate pain into the lower right abdomen right above the pelvic bone? Would be great to know so I could continue learning about it.

I also got a question for you as you are a veteran here, when will a person be able to start cutting after a cycle? I know that it isn't recommended right away but as it's been 76 days since my last pin, 48 days since I completed my PCT, do you think it would be appropriate to begin cutting now? I start a new training program on Monday and thought I might as well start cutting. I also lost a couple pounds since I ended the cycle however I put on some fat during the PCT period but I guess this will get better with more cycles as you live and learn from your mistakes.

I pretty much feel the same as prior to the cycle except for my stomach problem, nuts are back and seem to be in same shape/size. Horny as hell but erections are weak, (I believe it's ED related to porn) I used to have a horrible porn addiction.
