It may not be so comfortable this time of year but a sports coat could be an option.

Possibly a kink in the hose. Try moving the pump around.

No joke about pulling on the valve. I didn't pursue that aggressive enough and now I have scar tissue attached to it holding it up against my body which causes a lot of discomfort.

My doctor's office recommends inflating at least once a week indefinitely to maintain tissue flexibility.

When my soreness dissapated some I pressed the deflate butten for four seconds during which time I squeezed the shaft from the head back to the base. This seemed to help a little but now I'm leaving it alone until I see the doctor.

I had a stretch test with no measurements as well. They just want to see if what you have can be worked with.

I am 16 days out. My current state of deflation is the same as yours. I start cycling in 3 days and and hope for improvement then.

Thank you for your encouragement SWorks. It's been a little harder than expected. I have iced a bit and am looking forward to full deflation on Wednesday. Maybe I'll have more mobility then. Glad to be part of the ranks.

Yep. Don't know what model yet. Will find out tomorrow. Dr Blick Phoenix AZ
