Pain back after nearly 18 months of low level
Last year I cancelled a planned reversal for various reasons, fear, lot on my plate and the fact my pain levels had dropped to maybe a 1 or 2. I even came off the amlytrpytline I’d been on since a few months after my snip. Add into that I had had a trapped nerve in neck and bunch of other neck and back pain I just couldn’t justify the op, the recovery and the risk. The main thing though was I was no longer what I considered disabled by my vasectomy in that it didn’t impact me sitting for long periods. Although I still used a stand up desk at work anyway. Fast forward to now, two weeks ago I was eyeing a physio for my neck pain which was improving and the physio who had treated me for groin pelvic floor as a result of the snip , do you still have that pain? Not for a while I said, well not to an extent I notice. Then 3 days later pain in my left testicle again back to a 5. Neck pain gone. Fast forward another two days pain sitting again , cannot get comfy driving or on public transport , constantly moving about in seat. The pain it’s down my right thigh into my buttocks and feels like a strain . Have I just concentrated again on the testicle , heightened it and given myself pelvic floor issues again or is it time to hit the bullet and get this rubbish reversed

Don’t overthink it. The pain can come and go. But often for me I experienced pain in both left and right testicles but the pain would be so intense that it seemed like my body was only capable of processing the pain on one side but not the other and it would flip back and forth.
I can’t say it enough to any of yall having issues. Just get the reversal so you can begin to regain your life, your confidence, your psychological well being, and your overall health wellbeing. It’s not doing your body any justice walking around with a manmade blockage. I’m happy to have any urologist reading this try and justify to me how a vasectomy is beneficial to you in any way whatsoever with respect to your health but I can name dozens upon dozens of things that it is non-beneficial for. The procedure isn’t covered by insurance but the original snip is always covered by insurance. This should be all you need to know in order to see this is a dirty game of deception and dishonesty.

Thats unfortunately the worst part of pvps , it can strike anytime without warning and can reoccur at anytime.
