He is the one who gave me the name of Dr. Parekattil. He is a nice man, and says he only has about 5 or 6 cases Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:12:07 GMT Anthony Ellis, M.D. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/VasectomyPain/message/2195 http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/VasectomyPain/message/2195 Matt,   I tried it briefly. I didn't notice any benefit. At least it had few side effects.     A.

Has anyone tried it? If so, any success? Because I seem to be having Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:51:22 GMT bellalunna4444 http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/VasectomyPain/message/2193 http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/VasectomyPain/message/2193 thank you....I am still swollen and by the looks of myself its obvious there is something going on. I just need a Great Doctor to figure this out for me.
