Sorry to hear this. Do you think she would be satisfied with a bit of pawn?
She just needs to look out for the three balls. Nobody told me we had a communication problem0 -
Any updates.
Anyway, I figured I'd share a little gem of my own.
Ms DDD stopped taking the pill and has refused to start taking the pill until I sort my snoring out. So I'm off to the doctors to get my uvula removed - there are other issues, if I lean forward I can grab it between my tongue and roof of my mouth and I choke - I can choke myself, something your hands cannot do - so that's kind of like getting the snip for BB sex.Food Chain number = 4

Don't ask.... Incredibly hissed off TBH. :shock:
Wound only healed after 4 weeks (various antibiotics) - healed 'over' but it's not neat like I was expecting. That's the least of my issues..... Was off the bike for this time !
In constant pain from my bearings - this weekend was a cocktail of wine, codeine, etc (at various times - not the same times though). Working well as a contraceptive - on the setee many nights due to being unable to sleep.
Got bad pains in left side of perenium when sat on a chair - think it's related to the blood vessel being damaged.
Going back to GP yet again this week to try and get a referral to Urology as the GP has sort of accepted that 8 weeks on, this pain isn't normal. Really not happy as being fit and active, this has curtailed my cycling to just going to work and back the shortest possible distance. The GP has actually said that I possibly shouldn't be cycling - I politely told her to get lost (she has known me long enough).
Feel like the NHS don't give a damn, 'it will get better, go away'. Oh, and just to really scare blokes, the 'chronic pain' issue hits about 10%-15% of all men - they 'forget' to tell you this. I did ask just before I had the op, and got a quip that I'd have to talk to my urologist about that - WTF - need one now and can't get a referral.
Advice.
1. Get it done under general - you then don't know when it's going wrong - not nice trying to sit still and they zap you with no pain managmment, then 'damage' other parts - felt like legging it with my pipes hanging out !
2. There is a reasonable chance you'll have problems - my wife now realises this - words like 'you'll have to go to a solicitor', erm no, I signed my life away before they did the op ! Tough sh1t !
It's really fecked up my cycling - 8 weeks on, and I'm struggling. Taking every Wednesday off at the minute as in incredible pain after two days at a desk.
Sorry to put anyone off - it's sold as minor discomfort for a few days, especially by women !
If this doesn't resolve then I'm seriously thinking having the lot removed :shock:0 -

Same here - said 4 months and it doesn't need to be 'hot' as they are not checking for activity, just that there are none there ! :?0 -

Back in my day, there were samples at two week intervals (after the initial 3 months) until there were two that were clear.0 -

NHS Budget Saving I no doubt, hence the 4 months, 1 sample.0 -

Blimey, does it go clear then when there are no swimmers left?

Feck !
Got referral now to Urology for an urgent appointment - GP literally just phoned a few minutes ago. GP suggesting that I make sure I tell the Urologist about the mess up during surgery (damaged blood vessel) - as it could be a damaged blood supply causing pain, may mean one of the boys has to go !
GP also suggesting 3 drugs for nerve pain - been through them with a damaged shoulder from an RTC, and the side effects are horrible, so chose the pain. Never going down that route again as the drugs affect concentration so really affected my job.0 -
I don't think I've ever been so glad to be a girl. Hope things get better.
Mate's dad used to be the consultant Urologist at Wyth and the Alex until he retired about a year ago and did hundreds, if not thousands of vasectomies. If you've got any queries I can always get a message to him, so just PM.Commute: Chadderton - Sportcity0 -
Blimey you lot have had it bad haven't you. Nice nurse, a consultant who said "hi, you'll be pleased to know all the sails you sold me are still going well" (I windsurf with him, I had no idea he nipped bollock tubes for his kit fund), 10/10 for my shave, the only pain was the anaesthetic needle, a swift (7 days) recovery to normal size, no restrictions on activities, first time "all-clear".

Pretty much same for me, apart from I had a general so no needle pain. Back on the bike after 1 week too.lostboysaint wrote:Blimey you lot have had it bad haven't you.

Fossyant, despite the pain is it still working as it should? Erections and that?
Also, I reckon your wife is right. Despite making you sign thdoesn't alaimer explaining that you understand the risks (that they didnt explain) it doesnt completely absolve them from botching up the job...Food Chain number = 4

It's still working fine, but can't get onto a solicitor until we really know what's going on. May make it my mission to make sure GPs tell blokes about the possible problems if mine don't get solved.0

No I am not..... I just want treating before my ball dies - which given current pace is likely. I've booked a private ultrasound to see what's going on.
My issue is, when things go wrong, the NHS just leave you to wait, and wait and wait, rather than investigate and treat. GP just prescribed pain killers or anti-epilepsy drugs (they treat nerve pain) - tried the latter with a shoulder injury that I still had pain with post surgery, they prescribed these anti-epilepsy drugs - took another year before a course of steroid injections were given, and hey presto, fixed - no problems since, in nearly a year !0 -
Phew, scan done, balls not falling off, still got a good blood supply and epididimitus is ruled out as well. Kidneys fine too.0

Holy Sh*t man! I have been reading this with a look of sheer terror on my face.
How are the scrots now? All sorted or is the pain and problem persisting?
**Looks like I am joining the Jaffa club this Christmas......Happy F*cking Christmas to me :shock:0 -
Still painful, very painful, but at least I now know they won't drop off after the GP's 'comment' yesterday - best spent £150 otherwise I'd be sh1tting it for the next few weeks till the NHS do one.
It's still not looking great pain wise, but the two main causes are taken out - so this leaves the 'pain syndrome' which may need some other surgery. Reversal apparently sorts it out in 80% but it's £3k.
PS there is a 1 in 10 you get issues, most don't. The sonographer had heard about the 1 in 10 and she was a woman - she asked if I'd recommend the op - 'not if it's someone learning' I said - made us both laugh - I had me bits out on the table as she was poking about with the ultrasound as I said this. Oh and I don't have testicular cancer !
Onwards and upwards.
GTVLUSSO - just bear in mind it can go a little wrong, but 90% it is fine. Maybe I took the 10% for now ! :shock:0 -
Oh and operation wise:-
Local is quick - 30 minutes from start, chat, pants down, op, put pants on and out. General is an afternoon. Pro's and Con's.
Local is fine if it goes well, I certainly though 'what was the fuss about' for the first ball as not even the initial injection could be felt, and the zapping was a little tingle - couldn't feel any tugging, just a little 'jiggling' of the ball into place. Stinks though !
But once he started on the second, felt the ball being jiggled, but could then feel like it was being clamped in place (I think they do hold them with something) but the pain started getting worse, so told the 'learning' doctor immediately. Out came the zapper, and 'Jesus Christ' I said hanging onto the bed - he carried on zapping through the vas. Then he decided to put more anaesthetic in. Then immediately zapped again - same result - argh. 'Oh I better put more in as you are shaking a bit' (in pain) Put two more shots in, and couldn't feel the last zap (3 per side) nor could I feel the busted blood vessel being patched up.
TBH If it had gone like the first ball then it's not a big deal. I even managed to joke 'I've heard the second one does a runner' part way through the second half - the doc didn't respond as I don't think he expected problems.0 -
I have deep sympathy for the pain and discomfort that you are in - really hope that you get well soon and that your 'particulars' are all operational.
I have a pained expression as I write this...... :shock:0
