Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history, albeit it is a bit confusing the way you have put it.
One thing is for sure that you are suffering from recurrent testicular torsion due to anatomical variation or a strong cremaster response or loosely hanging testicle like a clapper in bell appearance allowing the abnormal vertical turning or abnormal rising and lowering as you have described.
The severe pain can be due to torsion or a retrograde infection of the cord, testis and epididymis - Epididymo-orchitis the inflammation spreading the to spermatic cord too.
What wonders me is that you have mentioned you had Gym a few days back and you got the symptoms after. In the morning you could get very little feeling in the testicle but pain in the cord, now the testicle is shrunken smaller than the left one. It appears that it light have been smaller than the left since some time ago. The left testis is always lower than the right in most of the males as a natural phenomenon.
The status of the testis can be decided only by a physical examination preferably done by an Urologist /Surgeon and ultrasonography with color Doppler examination. You also need to undergo few other tests:
Urine: routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
Blood: CBC, sugar, urea, creatinine.
Semen analysis as a baseline.
Ultrasonography and color Doppler as already suggested.
Once the sample for the tests have been given you have to get started on appropriate antibiotics and supportive medicines.
Give nice scrotal support, drink plenty of water and fluids orally, take full rest, no strenuous activity at all, take a mild laxative as straining at stool also can enhance torsion, visit the specialist as soon as possible.
I hope this answer helps you to get a proper diagnosis and plan for a proper treatment. You may please rate this answer before you close the query.
