Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Well this might be a torsion indeed. And it does not have to be a testis, it can be appendix testis torsion. You should not ignore your symptoms as it might be serious issue. Epidydimis or even inguinal hernia can act like that as well.
That is why, even if the symptoms are better now, please visit urologist and have testis ultrasound done.
Urine analysis should be done as well.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
