Why Is My Testicle Swollen?

One of my testicles has ached a little over the past couple of days, and I wanted to check it wasn't anything serious. I regularly check them, and there are no bumps on the testicles themselves, but on one of them (at the back at the top) it seems to feel a bit swollen. Is this just the tube that has swollen a little?
