Location of deflate button- is this normal?

Postby cris274 » Sun Aug 11, 2013 2:37 am

Hey guy,

I had my LGX implanted july 19th, as of right now according to the doctor I still need more time to heal. Last Friday I had an episode where basically it felt like the implant just swelled up on its own, especially the "cuff" around the base of the penis. It literally felt like the stiches were gonna pop open. That of course did not happen. When I went to the doc the next day he didn't know what caused it. Has any one noticed this type of pain , I can feel the tubing around the base of the penis.

Also,
I have noticed that the deflate button seems to be facing forward, in front . I was under the impression that that it has to be lateral. In my case the pump is on the left side, but the deflate button points forward. Only issue with that would be that I wont be able to grip both sides with my thumb and fore finger if that makes sense.

Any advice is appreciated

cris,
Sounds like (the pain) a little scar tissue ripping away from the tubing ... it's typical. Feeling the tubing is also typical ... as for the placement of the pump ball and deflate button ... there is no set location. You can try sitting in a warm bath and see if you can move the pump ball to a better location ... however even facing forward should not matter. It's not that hard to hold in the deflate button for the deflate period ...

I think you are right about the scar tissue, things have gotten much better since and I am so glad I don't have to deal with that pain any more.

Thanks!
