"having had a really hard time with my hips during my pregnancy with Maggie (I was unable to walk or lay down for a good chunk of my pregnancy) as a result of a Relaxin Overload" During my pregnancy with Maggie I was overrun with relaxin and my hips were falling apart, which made me unable to walk or lay down for considerable amounts of time. Therefore, I was stuck sitting UP, the only comfortable position. Just Curious – the answer is right there.

“having had a really hard time with my hips during my pregnancy with Maggie (I was unable to walk or lay down for a good chunk of my pregnancy) as a result of a Relaxin Overload”

During my pregnancy with Maggie I was overrun with relaxin and my hips were falling apart, which made me unable to walk or lay down for considerable amounts of time. Therefore, I was stuck sitting UP, the only comfortable position.

I apologize if this is an intrusive question, just delete it. I understand this is a wee bit off topic but why weren’t you able to walk or lay down during most of your pregnancies?

I had my V three days ago and am still suffering a fair amount of discomfort and considerable blackening of the scrotum very similar to the Scott's picture. The swelling is equivalent to a large orange. Not knowing if this was a "normal" side effect or not, stumbling across your post was really useful. I'll be off to the doctors on Monday! I just wish my wife was here to provide a little TLC, but the scheduled date for the V came up while she was away, back in two weeks. Hopefully things will have started to mend by then.

I had a vasectomy a few years ago. A "new" method with only one small incision under the base of the penis just where both halves of the scrotum meet. Very little manipulation of the tubes, no swelling, no stitches ! I was bask to normal in 3 days. Sorry to hear about Scott’s V mishap ! I had a vasectomy a few years ago.

The first few "times" weren't very comfortable for him and he was really worried about there being a permanent effect on his orgasm. (A friend of ours had this happen). Thankfully there was not. So if things don't feel quite right for your husband, know it may improve! I'm so sorry you are experiencing the same thing. It's really terrible -- can't sit, can't move. It's the center of your being in a way. I hope he heals quickly, Holly! We used Traumeel (a homeopathic cream) to help with the bruising - I do recommend it. :) He felt pretty terrible for four weeks, and it was about eight until things were feeling ‘normal’ and a few more after that for the clot to really be gone.

It's been 2 weeks now and the doc says he'll have to stay home for another 2 weeks.He didn't get all that much bruising but a very large hematoma and TONS of pain! Glad to hear your husband healed okay. How long did it take for him to heal? Thanks! The same thing happened to my husband (which is how I found your site).
