Brief Answer:
More information needed...

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking Healthcaremagic.

I am Dr.Endri and I will be answering at your questions.

It would be great If you could provide more information about this pain.
-for how long do you have this pain
-does it hurt when you touch your testicle
-is your testicle bigger than the other,or did its size change and get bigger?
-do you have fever
-do you have other symptoms like burning sensation while urinating,or your urine smells bad??

Since I am missing this kind of information I will try to cover the most common reasons to feel pain in the testicle.
1-orchiepididymitis (inflammation/infection of the testicle) in this case there is nothing to be worried,a course of antibiotics prescribe by your physician and painkillers like ibuprofen
2-scrotal hernia. in this case the only treatment is through surgery and repair the hernia
3-hydrocele (liquids inside your testicle) it can be repaired through surgery or just treat the symptoms (painkillers) if there is just a litle liquid
4-tumor of the testicle. in this case surgery is yhe only option
5-cyst of epididymis .it can be repaired through surgery
6-torsion of your testicle. surgery needed as soon as possible.

If I was your caring doctor I would perform a physical exam at your testicle. Since this can't be done by me I suggest as follows:
-consult your physician just to be sure that you don't have a torsion of your testicle

Depending from the physical exam you might need to do these exams:
-ultrasound of your testicle to check for cysts,hernia,tumor, and the blood flow at your testicle
-urine test (urinary tract infection can cause orchiepidymitis)
-other tests,like blood tests ect.

Meanwhile you can use ibuprofen 400 mg for the pain.

If you have any other question,don't hesitate to contact me.

wish you good health.
