meh, I don't know exactly what's the problem. I've had pain in my testicles, where it only last for a second and was gone. I would bring this up to your doctor on your next check up, and if it does get worse or the pain gets more severe, directly go to your doctor.
do you give yourself a testicular cancer check, time to time, just to make sure there are no lumps? this routine should be performed often just to check yourself once or twice a month.
better safe than sorry, right? right!

That's good to hear, not many males do. That's correct, it should be smooth and has the feel of quite large sized veins. I do believe from what I've heard is the cancer is round, painless to the touch (like you know how it feels a bit sore to the touch...kinda like the pain when you get kicked in the testicles...cancer does not have a nerve to it so you wont be feeling that pain that is received from your testicles), which means if you were to squeeze the 'lump' it wouldn't have a sensitive feel to the touch, also don't quote me on any of this, but I do believe that it's a bit smaller than a testicle itself, and I think it's a bit softer than a testicle itself.
llewellyn, honestly it's not that hard to feel around the scrotum. believe me.

You would think that, but so many men have no idea how to check themselves! Same goes for women. In high school, we had these fake breasts and fake testicles with lumps in them to practice giving ourselves exams. I remember being surprised at how hard I had to push in to feel the lump in the breast.
I think the original poster should have the doctor take a look anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to ask more about self exams when he is there since it did seem like he had some questions about it.
