[ QUOTE ]
before i went to bed yesterday, my testical was mildly to moderately aching. it's still aching 12 hours later.

do i have testicular cancer or something?

As others have said, go to a doctor - an 'after-hours' or 'walk-in' clinic ... or even an ER.

It's probably a case of epididymitis, which is an inflammation/infection of a part of the testes. This can be treated with a course of oral antibiotics.

It could be a few other things as well, though. Either way, you'll need a doctor.
