    Idk, I’ve had a vasectomy with no anesthesia.

    But, there’s really no standardized way to measure pain, so this conversation will always be moot.

      Same here. They just did it in the office with a laser. Nothing in comparison. I have persistent lightning-like stabbing pain in one testicle. That’s what my neurologist likened to period cramps. It’s bananas that women can just go about their day in that condition. It’s way beyond distracting.

      When I move the wrong way, the pain floods my entire groin, to the point of complete disorientation, visual white out, profound ringing in my ears, and freezing cold rippling chills throughout my body. I’ve almost passed out on several occasions.

        This is a great description of severe cramps. Please accept your honorary Period Enjoyer Certificate™ and also my condolences.

        Hopefully they come up with a solution for yours, because the solution for mine was an IUD and it sounds like that one won’t work for you.

          It was initially caused by crossing my legs the wrong way and pushing back while sitting in an office chair. I was then misdiagnosed and had a surgery that compounded the problem with adhesions. It’s been a rough five years.
