And I've had zero pain. No Tylenol, no ice, no swelling, nothing. No need for it as I feel completely normal.

Anyone else had it this easy? Am I a robot?

Which kind did you get? Scalpel or no scalpel? I called to get one last week but all the doctors in my area do the scalpel version and it spooked me...I want as little pain as possible..

Oh man. Mine was awful. I swoll up and turned black and blue. Forgive the racial stereotype, but my wife commented, "now I know what it feels like to be married to a black man". Turns out I had a reaction to the stitches. When I went back to the doc he said "you're kinda the bull on the block". Which I quickly agreed to of course.

In any case, I frequently had a lot of pain after sex for several years. It was a bad deal.

Even if you feel normal, I would still sit back with a frozen bag of peas on your balls for a day or so. I would also play it up a little and make your wife wait on you. This is likely your only chance.

I have heard from many buddies that they felt great only to play softball the next day or coach a kids basketball game or do some other minor activity and then end up in some real pain.

Yeah, some people have a lot of pain and some have none. It's hit and miss. But the worst stories are usually those guys who thought they were fine and went out and did some physical activity the next day.

No scalpel. Mark Kellerman....Iowa Clinic WDM. Now into day 3 and can't even tell I had it done. Did over 12,000 steps yesterday.

Still no ice, pain pills, or anything.
