Female led relationships discussion

so, I thought maybe I was just being overly sensitive about blue balls, but lately I’ve been less certain. After three to five days of lockup (regardless of the device), my testicles get quite tender—sometimes so much that walking is difficult and it often forces a surrender. Recently, I did a 24/7 lock for around four days; now, two days post-release, I’m still feeling twinges. The discomfort seems more in the tubes connecting things rather than the balls themselves. Am I overreacting? Is this typical? The pain isn’t severe right now but is noticeable. It would be silly to damage my jewels by ignoring it. Anyone else had similar experiences?
