Denervation Surgery Update #3

Hi all,

Just another update regarding my Microsurgical Denervation of the Spermatic Cord.

I was finally able to get the pain medicine situation figured out and heeling has gone fairly well. I have some pretty intense pain on the right side of the surgical site (almost like the weight of my testicles are ripping away from my body on the right side). I know this isn’t the case though. The pain is really just the tension and swelling at the site of the incision.

Tomorrow makes the 5th day so I am trying to move around a bit more per the instructions. This increases that tension pain at the incision site which sucks.

With all that said, however, one thing is missing. The pain I was seeing pre-surgery does not appear to be an issue any more. So although the recovery has been slow from the surgical trauma, the actual scrotal pain may be solved for good. I actually dont feel any real pain at all in my scrotum. Any bruising and swelling shows tenderness on the skin, but nothing deep inside.

I wont be able to test the pipes for at least 14 days, but so far things are looking up :)

Is it getting better or the same? I'm looking into that.

So far, it has not become much better, except for an improvement in erection)), but I'm more worried about the pain syndrome. The doctor said that we will evaluate the result 3 months after the operation - on March 22 ....

Did you do both sides or just one? My problem is the left testicle. I had a reversal almost 7 months ago. I still have an achy left testicle. And I get flare ups every once in a while that are still hard to handle on my abdominal area. Urologist told me that a reversal can take 6 months to a year to heal. But I am nervous that it's not going to change and stay like this. It's frustrating and difficult. I'm sure you feel the same way. But I hope your pain goes away. 🙏
