See a Dr.: Mumps causes painful swelling of the salivary glands and testicles. One or both may be involved, but the swelling resolves in both areas after 10-14 days. If one testicle is large and firm a year later, there may be a different problem. See a Dr (urologist) for a thorough exam and to determine the cause and treatment. Causes may include infections, hernias, tumors or varicocele/hydrocele.

I have had a small lump on the end of my right testicle for about half a year, didnt really worry and I did it today, it is about the size of a Newtons cradle ball, no pain anywhere. I masturbate frequently, so I thought cyst maybe?

Likely benign but you should see a doctor, ultrasound of the testicle should be done.
