Re: Constant feeling like I need to pee

After more than 3 and a half years of being implanted, I still have this urgency. About every 2-3 hours during the day, I feel like I want to pee, then there is nothing but a few drops. I don't feel the same if I am outside for long hours or at night when sleeping. Mostly because I am not focusing ...

Re: Constant feeling like I need to pee

Thanks for the replies. It's much better now. In case someone is having similar issues, what helped me a lot was to inflate myself to around 20 - 30%. Because there was also numbness on the shaft, it's possible some nerve got irritated, and needed time to heal. While it was still irritated, the burn...

Re: Post operative pain

Hi Jomy,

I am having very similar symptoms. Doc and I suspect it's a nerve irritation because it fits a lot of the symptoms. Interestingly, feel a bit better when pumped up around 40% or so.

By the way, did this go away for you in the meantime?

Re: Constant feeling like I need to pee

Yes, I had a catheter for 1 day at the hospital. Bu everything was fine for about 2 weeks afterwards. The start of it coincided with when I inflated the implant for about 30mins a bit more than 2 weeks after. Not sure if that could have had something to do with it. Does it make sense to take antibio...

Constant feeling like I need to pee

Hi all, I got implanted about a month ago. Didn't have much in the way of pain. But about 2-3 weeks after the surgery, I always feel like I need to pee. I don't actually have to pee, but that's the feeling inside the urethra. Some days it's better, other days it's driving me completely insane. Had s...

Re: New AMS Pump...

Is the the NEW AMS pump available for use now? Or is it coming later? I'm scheduled to have my implant with Dr. Hakky on March 12. Getting the AMX 700 CX. Hoping the new pump will be available for him to use for me. What do you all KNOW about the timing of the availability of the NEW Tenacio AMS pu...

Re: Hakky and AMS advice

Thanks for the replies guys. If there were a direct flight to Houston, I would have certainly considered Dr. Clavell. But being about 13 hours away by plane with tight connections scares me a bit (a lot, actually!) in case any complications arise.

Hakky and AMS advice

Hi all, This is my first post, but I have been an avid reader of the forum for the past couple of months and am very grateful that this resource exists. I have been diagnosed with a fairly strong venous leak which I basically had all my life, and I have accepted that an implant is the only solution ...
