I gave a pain scale of 1 to 10 and the cutting began. When he cut open my scrotum it hurt like an 8.5-9 pain level but that went away then he stared on the membranes ( btw he was verry carefull and kept everything sterile I was impressed with that) they hit a 9-9.5 no biggie no screaming but i had to rest between cuts. It got real bad when he actually got to the testis they really don't like to have air on them the pain swelled from a 5 to about 9 and back.
this took about an hour and a half because I had to regain my composure and relax so I wouldnt suddenly move and hurt him and myself. the second half took a bit less time I will reiterate (GET INJECTABLE ANESTHETIC !!!!!)
he clamped the cord and the pain level soared right off my scale to oh 20 or so but once the clamp was on it died off quickly say in fifteen minutes or so then he rather than sutureing and cutting which he said is more prone to bleeding he crushed the cord and then severed the testis the pain at the moment of crushing hit the roof I'd say 30 or more on the 1 to 10 scale.
he sutured me up and washed me up. I had only one removed because I couldn't handle that much pain again. he followed up the next morning I had almost no pain just the slight ache in the abdomen I kept ice on during and the whole day after the operation I havent seen any brusing yet but I am expecting to be black and blue in the next few days. all in all he was good gentle and carefull, he was paitent as well waiting as much as a half hour while I calmed down, if I had xylocane to inject I would have had him finish but without NO WAY!! I htank him for this and apreciate his effort to help me
I guess the three hour drive back inflamed a few things. but it has gone down thank god
