I can't help but feel you are downplaying the procedure by saying that it sometimes doesn't require pain medication.

In the clinic I went to they hand you a subscription for pain medication as routine and give you an ice pack to put on your scrotum.

I was happy to have taken the pain meds before the anesthetics wore off I'll tell you!

Just to note, I'm seven days post-op on this procedure :) And while I did not take any meds, I was happy to be sitting in bed with an ice pack watching March Madness. So there was definitely discomfort.

Not American, and the only place I've heard of March Madness is on reddit in a reference to ... guess what? :)

lol, the doctor mentioned this! That's hilarious. The timing was definitely a coincidence for me though.
