My doctor explained all this before the procedure that there was a risk of lasting pain, sometimes it doesn’t work, etc so it absolutely does seem like you had a shit doc.
Furthermore, the above poster said “vasectomies don’t go great as a simple procedure” which isn’t true in a majority of cases. Mine was also 15 minutes in the office and about a week and a half of tenderness. This was followed by a prescription for busting a nut as many times as I could to flush the pipes before the semen count test. Every medical procedure has some risk. The above poster is claiming something that isn’t true.
What do you mean when you say “the medical community is underreporting it?” I acknowledged that my experience is not the universal experience, but also that my doctor was aware of this possibility and informed me of it before the procedure. The fact that yours didn’t along with disregarding your known symptom after the fact shows that they’re not very good at their job, but says nothing about the procedure itself nor what the other person is claiming to be universally true.
You’re saying your doctor warned you about this risk, but then didn’t believe it was real when you were one of the unlucky ones to be affected by it? Again your gripe seems to be with the doctor not the procedure.

I made my point quite clearly in my last comment.
