Ben, Scrotum pressure sore? I think you might be sitting on your scrotum when you get in your chair. After I get in my chair, I recline my chair and have my caregivers reach in my pants and pull my sack out from under me. I have them cup my package as they recline my chair up to make sure I don't end up sitting on my sack. Why do I suspect that is what is causing you sore? The exact same thing happened to me a few years ago
