The procedure itself......Yarg. I hear all these stories about guys barely feeling anything and going out and playing hockey the same day and I start to wonder if the universe hates me, because mine felt like I was having my intestines torn out through my ballsac. Maybe it just didn't freeze properly and I didn't say anything because I didn't want to feel like a wuss, but it was seriously one of the most horrible experiences of my life. I almost passed out, and Dr. Crouse had to let me lay on his couch upstairs in the waiting room until I recovered enough to drive home. I didn't get the huge grapefruit swelling like some of the horror stories I've heard, but I had some pretty significant discomfort for a couple weeks and sometimes it felt like there was something sharp in there. After a month or so it was fine - and the first screening gave me the all clear so the good Dr. did his job right, but wow did it suck.

How long ago did you get it done? So after approx a month everything felt back to normal? No complaints? I realize everyone's experience will be different but it's nice hearing some of the stories to understand what can be expected
