I wouldn't trust the doctor.
When I turned up for my vasectomy he said 'I'll give you some leather to bite on', which was nice of him in a counter-intuitive way.
When they cut whatever it was I got a really creepy pain going up to my shoulder which seemed to beyond the local anaesthetic, the thought of which I found agitating, at which point I asked myself
'How is it that I did not find and take a relaxing dose of a narcotic before this procedure?'When I came home my wife said
'You look like you've been mutilated.'It need not be so bad of course, but doctors, quite understandably, do not see that they are there to entertain their patients, and therefore a suitable measure of discomfort is to be expected.
