The cause of testicular pain is ascending infection from the long-standing indwelling catheter. The most optimum treatment in your case would be the following.1. Insertion of a suprapubic catheter which Chat Doctor.  (the per urethral Foley catheter should be removed)2. Regular bladder washes with saline till the effluent is clear.3. Urinary antiseptic such as Norfolk in dosage of 400mgm twice a day for 10 days. I am sure this will help in preventing further damage to your urinary system.
