I'm now seven weeks post op and am very happy to report that all is now well. No pain, can inflate and deflate at will, Sex is fun again!

It's good to know that your pain finally abated. It took me six weeks of swelling and discomfort before it got to just being aware that there is a new part in me. Now, five months out, the implant is no different than glasses or shoes, just something that works with your body. The sex is great, and I'm able to insert my penis in my sex partner whenever the time is ready.

Great to hear. Four weeks was the point when I quit having as many intense moments. Anyone else reading this for relief I would add to rotate ice and heat pad. I used the heat pad a lot.

Hi Guys. I've just joined FrankTalk and this is my first post.

I'm in UK, Hertfordshire, 30 miles north of London.

Had my insert operation on 17 July at UCLH, performed by Prof Muneer.

Now 18 days post op and suffering significant pain. Some days better than others but today is pretty severe and I can't stand for long before having to sit in my recliner with an ice pack. Pain killers (tried, Ibuprofen, Codeine) have virtually no effect.

Went to see my GP a week ago and he thought it was an infection so I'm day 8 of 10 additional (to the antibiotics course given by the hospital immediately post op) course of antibiotics.
But it doesn't seem to have reduced the pain!

I'm still positive about having had the implant and my GF has been wonderfully supportive and caring.

My questions are:
- has anyone else experienced this level of continued pain?
- how long am I likely to endure before it starts to subside?

TIA for your support.

May I ask where your most significant pain was? I am 14 days post op with the same implant as you and still experiencing a lot of pain at the reservoir site.

Glad to hear you are doing better!!!
