Visited Dr. Burn (bad name, good doc). The most actual "pain" in my experience was the freezing shot. He does give you a small hit of I believe Valium which helps relax you. The pain was really no worse than a needle in your arm when they draw blood. It was that pinching feeling. I've had needles in my jaw for fillings which hurt worse. The procedure you feel nothing and was as described above.
In and out in a few minutes with prescription for T3s in hand. I filled the prescription but never bothered with them. I felt sore like you got nailed in the junk really hard and there was a bit of an ache. I had it done on a Thursday afternoon, stayed home Friday, but I was well enough I was at a stag Friday night. I was sore for the weekend and took a week or so before I biked into work.
Like anything, results vary. There are some guys who have horror stories of swelling and pain however that seems to be the minority. I seem to recall a full recovery is typically a week to ten days for most. Really, like a prostate exam, I think guys build it up to more than it typically is. There's a reason why ten years after you don't really remember it that much because it really doesn't scar you for life.
