Brief Answer:
Pain

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
This could possibly be due to a hernia. Less likely, a testicular problem. In either case, the sharp pain is an indicator that the problem needs attention. I recommending contacting your doctor about this as soon as you can so his pain can be alleviated.
