I would imagine that this thread has been done before, but I am curious as to what others have experienced before I get snipped in a few days.
How long did it take to recover after getting a vasectomy? Back to normal routine? Walking? Slow running? Normal running?
Bring it.
I raced a 10 miler eight days after my vasectomy. Did great, too. Don,t worry. Buy a large bag of frozen peas though.
I don't have a particularly high pain threshold, and all I needed was ice on a regular basis. No meds, and could have gone to work the next day - admittedly engineering, not construction, but the point is that it isn't that bad - or maybe my doctor just wasn't a butcher.
Give 3 days of zero activity except walking back and forth from the couch/bed to the bathroom. Start running after 5 days. Don't skimp on the recovery or your 3-5 days will turn into 3 weeks.
Good time to catch up on DVR'd shows/movies and sleep!
Just had the snip on saturday myself. The leaflet I was given says two weeks rest from all heavy lifting and exercise etc. Not sure if that seems a little over the top! So going to see how I feel. The nurse did mention 10-14 days so I'm thinking about a easy run after 10 days. Of course see how things are!
Hope it goes ok... It's nothing bad, your'll be walking like john wayne for a couple of days that's all.
I had mine about 10 years ago. I have never recovered, I am still unable to get women pregnant.

THIS^ Or you might have to have the whole thing done all over again.
I ran the next day, and every day in the week after, with no issues.
I went out for a walk the day after to clear my head--my surgeon was old school and used general anesthesia. Walking was just sort of uncomfortable, not painful. Out of curiosity, I started jogging, and it felt no worse than walking, so I ran a slow 3 miles.
Up to one month after I would sometimes get a dull ache running downhill.
This was 1998. I would hope things have advanced enough that returning to normal is that much easier.
Just got it done last Friday. The pamphlet said don't do anything for a week. I did my first run today and felt fine. Just take it easy for a few days and catch up on TV.
