Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone might have an explination for what is going on.
I got an implant about 8 weeks ago. It was getting better, and better the more I've cycled/healed. However, randomly it's stopped working well.
A couple days ago I was pumping it up, and it kept deflating by itself. Now, it won't seem to get pumped up all the way. The bulb that you pump up will be working fine, but then it gets hard when I'm nowhere near as pumped up as it use to be a few days ago. I feel like I have ED again, after finally starting to get my confidence back.

Re: Pump not working great all of a sudden
I had the same thing happen. What kind of implant do you have? Mine is a AMS 700 lgx. It freaked me out and I thought something was wrong but I found that if I moved the pump bulb around and held it a a different ange that it worked just fine. Give it a try and see.
Implanted October 2015 by Dr. Bryan Christine in Birmingham Al. AMS LGX 18cm with 2 RTE's

Really?
I have the Titan one touch.
I am currently freaked out and feeling pretty bummed about it. I feel like you felt. Freaked out and think something is wrong.
I'll keep trying to move stuff to different angles for the time being I guess. I've been doing that though I think. There has been a few times where I got it inflated a couple days ago, and then it just would deflate by itself as I was doing my thing, which just felt like having ED again.
I do have an appointment with my uro in a week so if I can't figure it out, hopefully he has some answers
Thanks dude

Ok, I just finished giving you advice a try and it worked well, so thank you very much for this information. I was like you, getting freaked out, but this seemed to work fine and I guess I'll just have to pay attention to the angles from now on.
On a side note, I haven't been having this problem since I tried it on december 30th, and I was constantly running around to Christmas stuff between Dec 24th and Dec 30th.
Today was the first day since Dec 23rd that I was really able to pump up to the max and keep it there for a while. Fuck that hurt lol. Prior to the 23rd I was pumping an hour a day and making an effort to really improve girth. Since I took some time off all of a sudden it hurts a lot again at just normal pressure.

It's still being a pain in the ass and really messing with my desire to use it and confidence when using it. ugh...
Re: Pump not working great all of a sudden
Only had Titan a month and twice the deflate valve stuck... first time was a O' S**T moment till I read how to unstick... we all need to be thankful for boards like this to guide us in options...
