The doc won't think it's odd because this is a fairly common problem. Most of the time without treatment the symptoms you have described will only get worse and can even lead to hospitalization or emergency surgery that could cause the removal of your testicle. I'm not trying to scare you, but personally I know someone that had this happen. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]

If you are athletic it could very well be caused from not wearing an athletic supporter or an ill fitting one.
If you have abdominal pain along with it then go see a doctor. Don't want to mess with that testicular torsion.
I have heard doctors recommend advil for the pain. If it continues, get it checked out just in case. It may be an infection that a round of sntibiotics can fix. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
