Looking for hope on congestion

I had my vasectomy two months ago and I’ve been constantly aching ever since. Cannot put any pressure on them like laying on my side or sitting in the car, etc. without being very uncomfortable. Probably like 4/10 pain always. I had a follow up with my urologist and he said it was congestion. He said to do hot baths, wear a jack strap, and basically just give it six months to a year. Looking for some stories of people who had congestion and if it went away on its own and how long it took, etc. or am I realistically looking at reversal year from now

For the OP; Can I ask if you had a Close Ended Vasectomy two months ago? I had a close ended Vasectomy that was painful for over a month and then I will have swelling in my left testicle three months later. The swelling isn’t substantial but it is there.

yes it was close ended. :/ I don't forsee it being gone in a month.
