i been lifting weights, and running daily for the past 3 weeks, and everytime i pick up weights or lift something my testicles hurt, i dont know why. Should i stop lifting weights for a while and wait till it stops hurting, or go to a doctor?

So, here's the deal. I feel you.
Should you go to the doctor, 100% yes if you have insurance, 95% if you don't.
Why? Because you are describing symptoms of an inguinal hernia, which means your intestines can push into your scrotum.
can be life threatening, but usually simple surgery.
Or, more innocently, vericocele, enlargement of veins in your scrotal sack. not life threatening.

I would stop lifting weight until you were seen by your doctor because if you do have an injury and you keep lifting weights then you can make your injury worse. Good luck to you.

That sounds like a hernia. Stop and SEE A DOCTOR for your own health. It can get worse. My father let a hernia be for years. By the time he went in to get it operated on so much fatty tissue had accumulated around it that it took four hours to repair it, and it recurred the next year.
