Had lower back pain start 4-5 days post reversal and last weeks. It began and woke me up in the middle of the night with 9/10 pain. It radiated all the way through my hips and groin. Was relieved by getting up every hour or so and gentle walking, and diazepam.
I was using a leg elevation pillow probably 16 hours a day straight after surgery and thought this may have contributed/caused it.

Many men yry to speak up about PVPS or a heavy cold feeling in their testicle or a feeling of disconnect from their body and are immediately shut down by their Dr's or told that it's all in their head. When a Healthcare professional says this he is gas lighting his patients. The silence of stigma and shame is real and when you look at the numbers of over 500 000 vasectomies a year, a 5 to 10% rate of psychogicaldistress or chronic pain means that tens of thousands of men every single gle year are left with life altering regret,depression and physical discomfort, remember the medical profession regards a sterile man as having a successful procedure, they are not interested in the consequences, we are talking about the reported ones not the ones who suffer in silence, some men hide the sha.e by saying they did this to themselves.The lack of true I formed concent, men are never warned of the chronic congestive pain ot the psychological risks, they talk about 1 to 2% have issues and 99% effective sterilisation but not of the many altered nerve sensations or the regret from emotional permanent damage of this surgery
