Yes mine is reversed. My general doctor said probably damaged some nerves around the epididymis. My urologist kept brushing it off like it was all in my head. 4 years later I still have pain in my right testicular area on occasion. It sucks

My step brother had pain after his that was cleared up after a lengthy dose of antibiotics.

I started taking antibiotics yesterday morning before the procedure and she gave me pain medicine that’s basically just a strong Tylenol. Did you get yours reversed because of the pain?

I would like to look into the machine being mentioned. Could you share? If not in the forum, PM? Much appreciated.

It’s a good chunk of change but they were obviously desperate to try anything when they got a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. They knew a friend of a friend in middle Tennessee that used it with stage 4 leukemia and he’s been cancer free for 8 years now. They bought one from him, not the link I posted, so I’m not sure if that link is legit or not.

Did all of those last year and they were all great. But all completely different. I was surprised how much I liked Grand Canyon; didn't really expect to. Sedona (the desert part of your plan) was awesome. To us, Yellowstone was all about the wildlife. Could care less about thermals and geysers. Once you've seen one, you've seen em all. Certainly, many disagree with that.

By Jackson Hole I assume you mean Jackson and Grand Teton. Jackson Hole is the whole area, not a specific place. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

We'll do Yellowstone and Grand Teton again this year on our trip.

I 100% disagree with your assessment of Yellowstone. First there are all the great waterfalls and Yellowstone Canyon itself, and the thermal areas are varied, fascinating and beautiful. I loved the Visitor Centers at Old Faithful and Canyon...plus the Old Faithful Inn itself is something to see, as is the Old Fort Yellowstone area, and the Mammoth Hot Springs are awesome.

However, I agree about the wildlife, they don't call it the American Serengeti for no reason.

5 years ago, took my kids and parents out west. Landed in Denver, rented the largest SUV known to man, filled up every cubic inch of it and set off on a 9 day trek. 4,500 miles later we were exhausted, but had memories that both the kids and parents still talk about. Rocky Mtn National Park, Jackson Hole & Yellowstone, Salt Lake City, Zion, Vegas, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Four Corners, Durango and the Million $ Highway, Telluride, Black Gunnison and the drive back into Denver. We all loved it from 6 to 73.

Headed back to JH & Yellowstone by way of the Black Hills and hopefully Glacier National late this spring.

You gotta do it.

Wow you did all that in 9 days? I was thinking a route through KC (stop 1). Then to Mount Rushmore and the Badlands (stop 2) then on to Jackson/Teton (stop 3) to Zion (stop 4) to Grand Canyon (stop 5). Two days at 3/4/5 is already 8 days before we even trek home.

I'll never forget driving across kansas. So much wheat, so much time.

I don't mind the drive across the Plains as much as others...I grew up out there, and the sky is amazing, especially during the early summer when the storms are rolling. The part of the trip (depending on where you start from in the east) I don't like is going across Mississippi, Louisiana, western Tennessee and Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas (until you get to the Ozarks) Missouri and Iowa.

When I hit the Great Plains it feels freeing to me.

Ask your PCP to refer you to a doctor who treats nerve pain. There are at least 20 meds that could help. I think that there’s one that will help everyone. Just have to find the right one for you.
I would also ask for a referral for an ultrasound to see if there is an unresolved hematoma or scar tissue entrapping that nerve. If so, an ultrasound guided steroid injection into the scar or hematoma can help dissolve it, thus releasing the nerve.

Great, have mine at 11 today.

Good luck. The actual procedure wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Only thing I felt was the needle stick which wasn’t bad and her pulling the strings for the stitches. Other than that I didn’t feel anything. Keep frozen peas on it afterwards. And take the Valium about an hour before you’re supposed to have it done. I think after taking that I didn’t care what they did.

A fool and his money is soon parted. No thanks.

The idea behind NIL was good. The reality is a nightmare…I totally agree with McGill on this point.

No way in hades is my hard earned money going to some high school kid that had proven nothing in college…sorry. Not sorry. 😐

Did basically that exact route ( except Grand Canyon) with my family when I was 15 and my brother was 12. Was incredible but lots of driving. I think it would be awesome for kids around 9-10 and older but those younger kids might be a struggle in vehicle for that long.
