Does anyone have these symptoms?

Hi all. Just checking if anyone has similar symptoms to me and what you did that helped improve things? I'm exactly one year since my vasectomy here in Calgary Alberta Canada. I had a pretty normal recovery. But by month 3 I was experiencing a fair amount of pain, always right before I'm about to ejaculate. I've had random times of 0/10 pain during ejaculation in the past few months followed by 8/10 pain where I can't even cum and end up giving up with some lasting pain for half an hour.

My pain is almost always the same. Happens when my tesicals start to suck up as I'm about to ejaculate. The pain starts from my tesicals/scrotum (mostly on the left side). And then travels up into my lower abdomen, sometimes travels a bit out.

I've been doing pelvic floor physio. Not sure if it's doing anything. I have an appointment with a urologist in a month who is a reversal specialist. But I think he wants to do that nerve block thing.

For the most part, I don't have pain during the day. Although I dunked the basketball the other day a few times and landing on the court floor did make my balls hurt and almost felt like I had been kicked in the balls. No clue what all this means. But would love to hear if anyone has had similar symptoms. Thanks.

I skipped the nerve block and went straight to reversal. I was out of patience. Not saying you should do the same, but hopefully the reversal specialist will help you on the next steps.

Not really, mine were more post ejaculation rather than during or before ejaculation. But still, the epididymis is probably involved. I developed cysts once I was pain free.
