I'm almost scared to ask.... But what happened?


Had a hernia op, thought why not get the snip at same time.

Ball bag has inflated like a hot air balloon and is trying to pull my guts out when I move.

Lurker Steve here. This month:

I blew up my BMW (bottom end).
I got fired. [emoji26]
I did my back on the long weekend (too much picking up small children incorrectly).
Next month cannot be worse.

Oh wait. Getting a vasectomy in two weeks. [emoji849] I'm praying it doesn't hurt.

I had a vasectomy 14 days ago and I’ve only just started walking. I spent 13 day/ nights on the couch and couldn’t sleep in my bed and I’ve still got a purple grapefruit between my legs

I also had a hernia removed but that caused almost no grief

I can’t overstate the importance of tight underwear, and NSAIDs if you swell up. Im using Panadol rapid 3x during the day and Celebrex morning and night.

I’m jealous of those who are fine 24-48hrs later. Good luck but next month might be worse

Oh no. That's not what i want to hear. [emoji43] Did something go wrong or is it just how it sometimes goes?
I've been told 5-7 day recovery max.

I'm glad to hear you're on the mend again.

Went to see surgeon on 7th day. He said I was just unlucky that I blew up but most of the pain was my fault for wearing loose underwear one day even if I only walked a short distance

I wasn’t sore for the first 48 hours but then each day got worse.by day 7 I was in tears to walk. I was sore cos of cracked skin from excessive swelling but most of the pain came from a ligament between my hip and leg tearing from the weight hanging off it.

It seems to be common to swell up but it’s usually pain free.

Ok... I'm hoping that's not me. My surgeon suggested I'll be able to get back on my bike within a week. Maybe I'll just push that back. Regarding underwear (sorry to lower the tone all), are normal briefs/y cuts ok or should i be getting something else?

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
