I had the same thing, only back when I was
like 6 cause my best friend punched me in
the nuts. My left nut had what they
called Testicular Appendix Torsion.
Apparently, the testicles have a
non-functional appendix that can get
twisted or damaged. I had a pain in my
testicle and my scrotum turned red, and I
felt sick. My parents took me to the
hospital and I had to get surgery, all
they did was remove the appendix part. I
had no idea about sex at the time, so I
didn't know why the doctor was so happy
and excited he didn't have to remove the
testicle. Now I'm thankful. My left nut
is somewhat smaller than my right, and
maybe mor sensitive, but if I hadn't
gotten the surgery, it could have gotten
infected and destroyed both my testicles.
OH NOOOOZZZ!!!

Ouch! You got punched in the nuts? Ouch.
Yah, go see the doctor, testicular
torsion is quite serious, seeing the
doctor couldn't hurt.
