Is it normal to have slight swelling and minor testicular pain 1 month after vasectomy?

I still have slight swelling and pain that goes from under the testicle and feels like it extends to my bladder. It's been 1 month. Is this normal? I started my life as normal the next day after vasectomy, carrying one of my kids. And 7 days later I had to travel, taking four flights for three days. The pain comes slightly when I walk or my testicles are hanging.

Yes, it is normal. The dull discomfort can persist for a few months, sometimes even more.
