4 weeks since AMS700MS implant

[MebeMike]

Hello,
This is my first post.
I still have swelling on my right side where the bulb is located. Starting to feel the top of the implant, but still can't identify the specific parts. I've been told to be patient, but still anxious.
The swelling in my scrotum reached the size of a small orange at 2 weeks. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

You are right on target with recovery. Patience is the key. Small orange, yeah, mine was more like a grapefruit LOL. Quickly taught me that the grass is not greener for those guys who naturally have them

The size of orange had to be uncomfortable but could you, did you, go back to work by then. My surgeon actually told me I could do some work in 5-7 days. Believe me, that will not be my plan, but comforting. billy

ice is your friend! i was too tentative in pressing the deflate button on my AMS 700 and walked around uncomfortable wayyy to long. no matter how much it hurts, you inflate at the docs office a few times and get the hang of it. really push the button until your feel the fluid running through it. i was not pushing hard enough on it. nice to know the thing works well though.
