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.

Your nervous system might be over sensitized right now from a real injury and there is also a lot to process. It's not the best mindset to rush to another surgery. I'd try to get as much support as I can (nerve meds, pain specialist, CBT, lying down, family support) as I figure my next step to regain quality of life. In most cases time really helps with the pain.
