Re: You're Having What?
I actually had Hernia surgery 6 weeks before my implant so I couldn't use it again. I used the "urethra repair" and only told a very few people. I have a feeling that once i have fully recovered I will become a little more at ease about telling the truth. Getting rid of the stigma could he...

Re: New member
My surgeon gave me some samples of Viagra and Cialis before my surgery to see which I would prefer to use afterwards. I was already starting to have some issues with ED sporadically and he said that afterwards I would have problems. Start now so that you can see which ones work before the prostectom...

Re: 6th day and still in lots of pain.
I think what you are describing is normal. My scrotum was so swollen i walked like a chimp for a week. I believe that it is just blood and puss that has drained to the lowest point that it can. Mine is almost completely gone after week 3. Keep putting ice on it and it will improve.

Re: Implant goes in Feb 21st
Ice, ice and more ice. Also try to "elevate" your scrotum if you can. I just sat on an ice pack for several days. Stool softner will help but the pain meds will help to clog you up so cut down on them as soon as you can.

Re: Scale of 1-10 Psycho;logical well being before and after
I feel like I am finally on the road to getting myself back. I haven't been able to use it yet since it's only been a few weeks but I already feel a sense of my old self returning.

Re: 6th day and still in lots of pain.
I had my implant 3 weeks ago. My surgeon told me to pull my pump down towards the bottom of my scrotum a couple of times a day in order to insure that it stayed that way after the scar tissue starts to form. It does make it sore sometimes but not too bad. As far as the other pain, are you wearing an...
