Today, on Friday the 13th, I am one year post-op from my orchiectomy! At this point it’s pretty much all healed up except I still get occasional nerve weirdness in my legs. My doctor says it’s normal though, but I wish someone would have told me about that beforehand 🙃 (still would’ve gotten it regardless, but I wouldn’t’ve spent several months worrying if something was wrong with me)
Also if you have any questions about what it’s like to get an orchi feel free to ask!
Congrats!!!
Thank you!! ❤️🌈🏳️⚧️
Happy no nuts November!
Lmao, amazing comment. Should remember that
This is a godly comment, and you should know that.
I do. I’m on my third no nuts November myself.
Hey congrats!
I am curious, what is the nerve weirdness you’re talking about? What does it feel like?
These days it’s just intermittent pins and needles, mostly in my feet, but it did originally involve a shooting, burning pain in my legs. It’s slowly getting better over time. Certain activities can still trigger the shooting leg pain such as riding an exercise bike or a carousel horse, however it’s not as intense as the original pain.
Congrats!

I want an orchi, maybe a zero depth later on. How was recovery time for you? How long before you were on your feet and independent?
It took me about week to became mostly independent. You do get lifting restrictions for about 4-6 weeks to not lift anything over 20 pounds, so I still needed help with that.
I remember on day 4 I attempted to make tacos and I was fine until I lifted the pan to drain the grease and that hurt bad enough that I had to stop and ice it for a while.
