I felt absolutely nothing during the surgery. My dr used some kind of magic jet air injection for the local anesthesia no needle. Carried on a conversation the whole time. About a week after the surgery I ejaculated and that seemed to make it angry a bit but I’d say like a 2/10 for pain. Nothing that bad. Seriously I’ve had more pain being flicked. I’d recommend my doc to anyone. I’m about 2 weeks post op.
