True testicular torsion is an emergency requiring immediate attention by a urologist. It also causes dramatically severe discomfort untreated, the testicle will be irreversible damage. While your symptoms don't suggest torsion, I still recommending being examined by your MD or a urologist in view of testicular discomfort for a week.

A 'dead' testis will not give you pain. One week is too short a time to make testicle smaller and softer. Pl see a Urologist for proper diagnosis and RX. In the meantime wear a good scrotal support, local heat and Ibuprofen if needed. Good luck.
