Hi,

If you try the Mens Health forum there's a thread over there with over 100 replies on this subject.  Its titled Left testicle/ lower abdominal pain.  As far as the scared to see a doctor thing this is what they do.  Especially If you see a urologist this is what they see everyday and your not telling them anything they haven't heard a zillion times.
Pain means somethings not right it may be nothing but wouldn't you want to make sure?  My boyfriend had pain in his testicles for months before he found a lump that turned out to be cancer. You didn't mention finding any lumps but I like to raise awareness  and tell guys they should do monthly self checks.  I hope you get your answer and your feeling better soon.
