Told i have epididymitis because of chlamydia but doc did only testicle check no urine tests does that seem right? i have sore testie and lump

Most need more tests: Usually a lab test like gram stain and culture can be done from a urethral swab and nucleic acid amplification - dna probe can be done to check for which organism has caused the infection. If your symptoms haven't improved on any treatment, it would be best to have these tests done.
