Once recovered from the anaesthetic he was given a drink and a sandwich and once he had emptied his bladder he was aloud to go home, a couple of days of discomfort apparently ( makes me wince at the thought) but he reckons it was worth every penny.

He also reckons everything works as it should.
Thanks Steve, You didn't have to do that, certainly very much appreciated.
I really do understand why your friend chose that option, this was the first thing I said to my doc last week... just cut the blooming thing off.

This is an option I really want to avoid, but if it stops the pain and constant ache, then I'm there with bells on.

Kev.
I was hoping you were going to say the right one, the left one seems to be the norm in suffering Varicocele, the right-side not so common.

This would mean my case may not be Varicocele, I am wishing with all my heart that it is... I really hope its something as simple as Varicocele, this would mean an easy fix... and I get to keep both of them... lol

Roll-on Thursday.
