Around 4 months I noticed it was getting easier, although it happens so gradually that you don’t realize any particular day or week… I’m 10 months and I can one handed get 15-18 wall to wall squeeze pretty easily then it gets much harder. Then I get another 8-10 one handed half pumps to around 95% which is plenty. If me or my wife wants more it’s a two handed job and nearly impossible to get more than 1/2 pumps. Time will fix it, stay at the cycling. Also your hand gets stronger as you build up the muscles in your fingers.


Thanks for providing great insight into the process. I’m almost two weeks in to cycling so I have to remind myself patience is definitely needed. I’m looking forward to making progress as time passes.

My doctors orders were to cycle once each day, starting two weeks after surgery. My bulb softened after about three weeks of cycling (5 weeks post op.). It was very noticeable the first time it softened.
