Woke up to sharp sudden pain in testicle followed by dull aching, what could it be?

I woke up a few days ago to a sharp pain in my left testicle and I think I was sleeping on it/crushing it. I vaguely remember shifting it with my hands and each time I did the pain would dissipate then return, this lasted about 10-15 seconds before disappearing.

Since that day, there is no real pain but a general discomfort/dull aching/burning around my left testicle (definitely tolerable though I notice it when I'm not focused on anything). It normally gets slightly more intense as the day goes on and almost seems to radiate behind my thigh towards the end of the day. (maybe it is because I am sitting a lot)

I've contacted 2 doctors since then and they have ruled out torsion on the basis that I'm not in excruciating pain. I've also done an ultrasound so am just waiting on those results now but would like a second opinion

Does anyone have any experience with this? I initially suspected intermittent or partial torsion since I was sleeping on it, but am now leaning towards a possible varicocele or epididymitis from trauma.

I don't have any other symptoms or difference in my urination frequency, color, semen etc. I also don't feel any swelling or bumps, and it's not sore to the touch
