I ended up being one of those people who needs more numbing than normal people, which is not the most pleasant thing to learn during your vasectomy.
That said, even after 4 separate breaks to apply more lidocaine, I had a super smooth experience and was pain free after the first day. Had to force myself to take it easy for a week, and didn’t even need ibuprofen. Getting kicked in the nuts is way worse.
yeah it was a wild experience, cuz I felt the blade cutting me, but I was like, surely just my mind playing games, then I started going into shock (according to the nurse) I was white and could-sweating so they upped the dose and still felt most of it, I usually felt pain at the dentist too, then I started mentioning that I have issues with the "standard" numbing agent because I forgot the name and since then going to the dentist is a breeze, get the stuff, get numb, stuff is done.
