I would evaluate the testicle for varicoceles, cysts, masses and infection (epididymitis). You have already been tested for prostate infection with a normal prostate exam and PSA.
I would obtain a urinalysis to evaluate for any possible infection, tests for STDs such as gonorrhea and chlamydia and pursue a scrotal ultrasound which can look for cysts or masses.
If those tests are negative, you can consider anatomical abnormalities such as a urethral stricture which can also cause pain. This can be diagnosed via cystoscopy.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
