Severe Pain In Testicles, Swelling. Taking Antibiotics, Not Getting Better. Recommendations?

My friend has been having pains in his testicles to the point of fainting. He has been feeling these pains for about four months now. he has been tested for std's and tests have come back clean.. He says there is swelling and pain.. A doctor scanned his testis and said there was something going on.. But the doctors have just been giving him antibiotics the whole time, but nothing has been getting better.
