My best friend has been in pain since Wednesday evening. She started with her head hurting (but not like a headache) she said it feels as if someone is squeezing her head really hard. The pain has gone into her neck all the way down to her lower back. She has taken numerous things for pain and NOTHING helps. I was thinking her wisdom tooth could be causing a problem but would that be the cause of all the other pain? She said her mouth doesn't hurt. Any ideas??? I am really nervous about this!

There's a chance it could be meningitis, or even bleeding in the head (leaking aneurysm?). Most likely not, but these things need to be ruled out.
She needs to be seen by a physician (NOT a chiropractor!), and soon.
Encourage her to be seen ASAP.

I was 11 when I had a retractile testicle that I had to have a hernia surgery for couldn't walk for 6 months my ball sack was like a balloon, so I don't doubt that he is in pain if he had surgery in march. Oh one thing you mention inguinal hernia which is not derived from a retractile testicle, so was it an actual inguinal or was it to fix a retractile testicle you don't specify.

She needs to go to the ER. It could be something very serious like an aneurysm. Why take a chance?

this sounds like an emergency condition, and she should be taken to the ER immediately. it could be a clot, an anurism, an infection, or even a tumor. the sooner she goes for help, the more likely she will be able to have help.

She needs to see a medical doctor (not a chiropractor) ASAP! This could be meningitis, which can cause DEATH if not treated.

As her best friend you can help her most by encouraging her to go to see a doctor.
