I'm sorry but from what I've read, what Frank is experiencing is NOT normal for an infrapubic implant which is what he got
Complaints of pain beyond 3 wks post op are not uncommon for those who get a penoscrotal impant because their recovery period is 6 wks instead of 3 wks for infrapubic.
I got an infrapubic about the same time Frank did and I experienced NO pain whatsoever and was approved to cycle just 9 days post op and was approved for sex & other activity a couple of days ago at 23 days post op.
My doc said that this is the result he gets 85% of the time. So, I'm not special or unique in this regard.
Yes we all heal differently but the type of pain that Frank is experiencing suggests to me that something went WRONG with his implant to cause so much trauma & pain to his dick over 3 wks post op.

I'm not pointing fingers nor am I speculating about the cause but I've already suggested to Frank that he get a 2nd opinion (which he has declined doing at this point) but I'd think that at least an ultrasound to examine the shaft (and maybe even an MRI) would be in order to see if any damage was done to the shaft to cause such chronic pain.
FWIW, that's what I would do if I were in Frank's place. I certainly would NOT wait around any longer just hoping that it will get "better "
Patients (regardless of what's at issue) need to aggressively advocate for their own health & well being & should not accept anything less than a data based diagnosis of the symptoms that are causing the patient problems, rather than accept medical dogma & platitudes in response.
