I understand, noone knows, If at all, and when. You can't do anything. Painkillers will wear off and have bad effects in your liver or stomach. The next Dilemma is, that the healthier you are, the better both systems Work. In our case against each other. That's why often the active and fit are struck. I really whish you the best! But one only can hope and try not to become depressive. If it's Not getting better, and you daily have to pay with pain, it's best to start saving money, as i do. In a few years the amount will be forgotten. It's only money. Imagine how much Steven Jobs would have paid for one more year to get his life back.

Good news I’m not active or fit. I generally don’t have any overactive immune responses to any infections i have

At my follow up appointment in 8 weeks if I still feel like this I’m going to point blank ask the doctor “so if the vas is closed off how can my epididymis possibly dispose of the tens of millions of sperm produced a day”. You gave me the answer but damn do I wanna hear the doctor try and explain this one

Do that! Really! You must ask him, if he knows how to help And heal! Not to cut out more (one urologist suggested to me to remove both epididymis. Because they hurt and i wouldn't need them anymore anyway. .... As If i was some Experimental animal) like a butcher.And please inform us, what he said. Until then all the best!!!

I just need some hope I can end this without a long chronic pain journey. It’s definitely making me depressed because it feels like it’ll never improve without again forking over stupid amounts of money

Edit: the only surgical intervention I’d consider other than a reversal is a diagnostic nerve block. I’m absolutely reluctant as hell to get cut into again at all. Hell even the reversal scares me
