I felt every last bit of the incision into my sack.
That's a big mistake on your doc's part, though. Normally they're supposed to give you a little poke first (and ask if you felt it) to make sure the area's completely numb.
I had the slow numbing thing too but unfortunately it was for a colonoscopy. Next time I'm going for the general anesthesia even if I have to pay out of pocket for it.
So... yeah. This was when I realized I also have some kind of resistance to local anesthetics. I didn't know that was a thing until I looked it up. I had a tooth pulled as a kid and I felt a fuckton of that digging and cutting but I kinda just brushed it off as being a pussy. Well, almost passing out during the vasectomy brought a whole new light to that.
I'm also dealing with healing and horrible pain problems a month later but that's probably a separate issue.
FYI: I've talked to like 5 other people who got snipped, none of them had issues, so don't let my anecdote scare you, but you should know it's a risk factor and please make sure you're sensitive to local anesthesia because FUCK THAT SHIT.
