It was a bit worse than I was led to believe it would be, but maybe my doctor sucked. First half was fine, but started feeling some of the procedure on the second go. He had to increase the local anesthetic, meanwhile I was so sweaty I soaked through my shirt. Very weird experience, overall. So how's your day, so far?
Hey! Glad you got it over with. It'll just get better.
I got mine on Feb 3rd, and I was also sweating up a storm the whole time. I was barely holding it together, never had any surgery or intense medical procedure before, so having to do the whole thing while awake was mentally freaking me out. Thankfully I held it together until I got back into the car with my wife to drive me home... Then I had a full-on panic attack and passed out in the car haha. My hands got cold and kinda seized up, I hyperventilated and passed out, and I came right to the edge of vomiting, but managed to hold it back.
Once I slept for a couple hours, I was mostly okay. Just be careful for a couple weeks for real. I had little pains, sensitivity, and occasional throbbing for about 2 weeks, which was longer than I expected. But I'm totally back to normal now. You'll get there soon!
I had one just last Friday. Procedure was fine, no pain really. It was weird, but Valium helped with that.
Took it very easy over the weekend. Feeling more normal today. Pretty big jump from how I was feeling Sunday till today.
Not much pain overall just tenderness and trying to be careful.
Doctor said I could maybe start working out again tomorrow but I will probably just take a couple of weeks off to play it safe.
It's funny how different doctors can be... mine never offered me Valium, which I would have jumped right on. As you can see from the story above, my anxiety is killer. My doctor also said 10 days for working out, which sucked.
