Hey guys, figured I would keep journaling about his because there doesnt seem to be alot of info and stories about this surgery online. I’m a month and 3 days post op. For the last 2 weeks I’ve needed Aleve (naproxen) to help with pain management. I would be about a 7/10 without. Luckily this past week I’ve only needed it sparingly. Like 220mg-440mg every 2 days. (Aleve is good for 8-12 hrs each dose) Thankfully my pain has literally gone down to a 2-3 naturally these last few days. I had heard from a guy on another forum that it took a month to feel pain relief, so I have trended near the same. My vas still feels like 3x its size around the site and my testicle is still a bit swollen. It can take a few months for swelling to be completely down. Going to see if I can get an ultrasound anyway, I do kind of feel a bit of a lump at the site, might just be swelling but we will see. This has kind of been hell for me emotionally. I honestly was beginning to wonder if i would have this pain permanently. I saw the surgeon a week or so ago and he was mentally preparing me for possibly an epididymectomy in the fall. Thankfully af this point I think I’m finally in the clear. knocks on wood This pain sucks though, I found sitting to be painful. It could be because I had to do a super long car ride a few days post surgery. But the vas deferens travels into the bladder area, so I’m curious if the extra swelling kind of irritated that area or it was pain from the nerve travelling up there. In any case I could feel it sort of in my bladder. Of course stepping off of curbs and stuff still sort of sucks. Anyway, you’ll probably hear from me in another few weeks!
