One of the nurses was Irish and I was thinking about lodging a complaint there mind you

Only three people? I got six! I can only assume they heard I was coming in and there was a mad rush for overtime? One of them was reassuringly patting my chest and kept "accidentally" stroking my nipple.

I have very confusing memories of that day

I still can't believe they do the snip without a general anesthetic tbh. Sounds horrific

Well i was knocked out.

Ps, they could have had anyone doing the op for all i cared...anyone apart from the ex wife that is.

Lucky you. I would have thought that was a universal thing, but seems not

It's not a picnic . But to be honest, the following 2 days are worse. The leaflet says you can return to work the next day but I have no idea what sort of masochist would do that to themself, I was in bed with Netflix and a bag of frozen peas for 3 days!

And still felt like I was being repeatedly kicked in the nads when walking around a week later.

And being totally honest there was mild discomfort for nearly 4 months .

[Vicky.]

Yeah my dad reckons its a long recovery time. he was laid up in bed completely in agony for 5 days and said he still had moderate pain for a month or so too

If you go private it's not even a full on surgery these days... It's like a 10 minute procedure with a laser scalpel . NHS it's the rusty scissors, hahaha.

I actually watched them do the whole thing, which apparently is unusual, most people close their eyes or look away. I always watch these things!

And tbh, it was like 50% less traumatising than when I had my big toenail removed. That was ****ing disgusting to watch and so painful that I feel sick thinking about it.

Gav had it done with local anesthetic, he said it didn't hurt but it was odd like he could feel things being pulled on the inside but it didn't hurt

Oh that sounds horrific, I would not watch that, I don't even look when I'm getting blood drawn

A coworker of mine went JOGGING two days after getting his done and ended up back in surgery because he ruptured something and his whole ballsack turned purple. LOL

I think it's fair enough, from a safety point of view, for there to be two staff present for certain procedures and for example to request a 2nd staff member with gender of choice to sit in. To be honest it would be a good idea for that to be standard. Other than that... Surely the most important thing is having the most qualified people for the job checking you over? I guess I see it as, when you step into a clinical setting, they are doctors / nurses. Not males / females / transgendered or whatever.

Anytime I've had to go to hospital for stuff I've never even considered asking for a specific sex/gender, they're already stretched enough so I just take whoever I get Over here you have to pay for GP visits so can choose to go to whoever you want so I've always gone for a female Doctor

Hey TS..

Your toe nail..i used to get crippled with backpain for 5 or do hours if i got out the works van sometimes...my big toe nail on the opposite side was all dying and decaying so i sat and ripped it right out myself.

Never ever even felt a twinge in my back since...probably mentioned it before, but i found it interesting and must have a connection.


Ps, i videod it...wanna see me trotters?

Jogging...co worker...sounds more like he had a crafty wank.

Yeah, most of the procedure itself felt like... I would say... Having strings tied to something in your abdomen and then tugged around a bit. The part that hurt was the anaesthetic injections themselves, though I dunno how normal that is, because the first side didn't hurt but the second was baaad. Might have been a **** up because I also felt more during on that side and some sharp pain when they were stitching which you're definitely not meant to feel... I don't think the anaesthetic fully took on that side.

Well it was a longtime ago when Gav had it done but I think I remember him saying one side was worse aswell

yes same with me. They inject something to freeze the baw bag and then slice away but there is no pain

[Crimson Dynamo]

i did ask for something for the pain

but could I keep the swelling

[Beso]

Can you stop now, my balls have feelings too.

You were probably putting more weight on the good foot and less on the bad one which puts strain on your lower back. Never had it with my toe but I cracked a bone in my foot in my teens and ended up with a bad back from limping about for weeks.

[Niamh.]

The toe nail stories are worse

[Vicky.]

The toenail stories are making me feel quite ill

It just flat out is worse I think! They all looked totally unphased during the balls surgery but the doctor who did my toenail looked like she was going to be sick . She was sweating and went really pale.

It must feel horrible to do tbf. They sort of jam these little pliers right under the nail down to the base and then twist back and forward until it pops off... Takes quite a lot of effort too... She had to get a nurse to hold my foot down while she tug-of-warred it off.

It never made it painfull to walk..
