Hi.  The two conditions I mentioned - orchitis/epididymitis and testicular torsion, are serious in that these can worsen if not given prompt medical attention, but if treated early and properly, these conditions don't usually result in any lasting damage.  You can visit www.medscape.com or www.emedicine.com if you want additional information on the matter.

Hi.  From what you've posted, I think you either have an infection of the testicle (orchitis) or the epididymis (epidydimitis), or you may be suffering from torsion (twisting) of the testicle and its associated blood vessels and spermatic cord.  These two conditions are potentially serious, so I think you should get medical attention as soon as possible.
