See doctor: It could be one of several things. If however, it is because of twisting (torsion), then the testicle could die in a few hours. So, you need to have it seen right away.

Torsion of testis...: A few possibilities need to consider: testicular torsion, torsion of its appendages, inguinal hernia, or rarely epididymitis. But good hx detailing the onset, degree, duration, interval, and progression of testicular pain plus needed ua, us, timely will come up with an accurate dx. So, see and work with doc in expertise timely.
