Getting hit in the balls (probably) makes your stomach hurt because your balls have to descend from your abdomen in-utero

  Fwiw, you’re right.

  Pain in the testicles gets referred to the abdomen because the nerves involved lead up there. It’s kinda like how you can slam your hand in a door, and it’ll also hurt at your shoulder where the nerves connect there

  Little bits of referred pain like that happen all the time.

  I don’t know why people are downloading this. The nerve pathway does run from your groin all the way up through your chest.

  Following the nerve pathway, you might be onto something
