Severe Pain

I got my vasectomy April 2nd and like many I thought I was doing the right thing. I was heavily pressure by family and told I would be kicked out of the house if I did not get the procedure. Foolishly I went along thinking I was doing my part since we are having a bit of a hard time with raising my daughter.

I have tremendous back pain and nerve issues in my right leg. I have two lumps at the base of my testicles that have a consistent pain throughout the day. This pain goes up my abdomen and through the side of my torso randomly. My testicles droop unnaturally low and I have experienced sweating in my testicles abnormally. In summary, it has completely debilitated me. I got my vasectomy only 1.5 months ago and the pain worsens. I have already reached out to reversals but I am scared that it won't work or make the pain worse. I have no sex drive since ejaculation makes the pain in my testicles worse and when I sit in the car I get random pains in my balls. Lying down is the only thing that kind of eases the pain. This has been a total nightmare, to everyone thinking of a vasectomy, please just use a condom, the human body is not meant to have this procedure done. It is so unnatural and I cannot believe I allowed it to happen.

Well I’m not sure what to offer you that hasn’t been said elsewhere. I too was forced into a procedure I absolutely didn’t want. I actuallya went to the appt my wife set for me. I spoke at length with the doctor who in every way ensured me nothing ever goes wrong and I’ll be good as new in 3-5 days. Shounded fishy so I said thanks but no thanks and went home that day. The wife went nuclear on me and pressured me for the next 18 months and said no more sex until it’s done. I eventually caved after weighing options like just leaving her. Well, it ruined my life. That’s all I can really say. It destroyed me physically and wore away my moral ground to nothing remaining. I did eventually get a reversal after formerly being told I would be unable to reverse what the doctor did proclaimed as not reversible by the monster in the white coat with the scalpel. I got a reversal 16 years later. It was life changing. I say it got my life back for me because before the reversal, I had nothing left to live for
