The worst part of the entire experience... was the negative anticipation leading up the the procedure. The actual procedure was probably no worse than getting a filling done. It really isn't that bad. Just a pinch and a really odd sensation in the nethers when the anesthetic is administered. After that a couple of tugs and pulls and you're out the door. My doc gave me a prescription for some pain meds but never really needed them. Just take it easy after the procedure. Do something like play Destiny for a few days and let the wife hand you ice packs/frozen peas when you need em. Simply put, it's worth it.
