TOPIC: PMMA: How Traumatic is the Procedure?

I had a pretty traumatic experience. I was very anxious, but I didn\'t take the Ativan they offered. Also, closer to the end the anesthetic started wearing off, so I could feel every needle stick. I had to ask them to stop as I almost passed out (which has never happened to me before). I didn\'t take any ibuprofen afterwards, so with all that combined I neglected my aftercare. Finally in the middle of the night I got up and took 2 Advil. This made a big difference.

I was trying to tough everything out, and that was stupid.

Sup Jay been awhile, hope all is well anyway
The only pain I felt in the entire ordeal was like SLK said the local started to wear off and I was able to feel the needle poke\' Dr simply administered another shot, numbed it right back up. I do recommend the Ativan, I does relax you a bit and made me talky

It\'s about the same as getting a tooth pulled

For sure get the Ativan the first time. After the first time you won\'t need it.

Jay!
I\'m speaking of the actual needle insertion, pricking of the skin! Still it\'s not so bad but you if you feel it inform the Dr...a very easy fix, he\'ll just numb it up again. The size of the needle seemed like 16-18 guage. The device he used reminded me of a mini futuristic caulk gun. I watched a little but laid back for and relaxed for most of the session! But trust me you won\'t feel a thing, which is also a weird feeling within itself (your junk flopping around being pulled and whatnot with no sensitivity). Prolly a bad analogy but it feels like dental work. You know what\'s going on but can\'t feel it...they will talk to you make you comfortable. So just relax

My experience is the same as S.O. Also, on round 2 the anesthesia wore off but I told them and they injected more right away. Without anesthesia, it would basically be impossible due to all the nerves there, but I don\'t think it\'s that traumatic considering how fast most guys recover.

The more annoying part, IMO, is the leaking penis for 3-5 days that has to be kept super sterile and stretched.

well I can just say that each round is very different, in my experience it was round one great, round two painful, round 3 really painful and bloody
