Temporary Bell Clapper deformity?

I wouldn't ask this if I knew where else to turn to.

I'm a 22 year old male and last summer my right testicle became horizontal and far more mobile, literally like it does with the Bell Clapper deformity. I went to the Urologist who said that it was that and didn't believe me that I didn't have that since birth. On my way home I stopped at the pharmacy and the guy working there said that he doesn't think it's that (Bell Clapper deformity) and that it's just happens to boys sometimes and that I should wear tight underpants and avoid exercise until it returns to normal.

The thing is, it did. After a week or two it went back to normal and a different Urologist didn't believe me when I said it was mobile 'cause he said my testicles where completely normal and that I ''imagined'' the Bell Clapper deformity and that the previous urologist had no idea what he was talking about.

Now, almost 9 months later my right testicle is horizontal/mobile again and I have no idea what to do 'cause I can't get any answers to why is it happening. Also, sometimes my lower right abdomen hurts when that testicle is moved but not always. I wouldn't bother you guys if I could get answers anywhere other, be it online or from an urologist. I have a pic too and will upload it on request.
