Bend to the right.

I am now 5 weeks post surgery. Pump up the new device about twice a day to break it in. I have notice about a 15 degree bend to the right when fully inflated. Does anybody know what causes that and will it give me any problems in the future? I like to be a straight shooter.

Ricky2 - I'm assuming you kept it pointing straight up for the first couple of weeks? The direction its pointing during the initial healing will probably be the way he "leans" from then on.
In my case, I always hung slightly left when erect. I try to stow my bionic buddy on the right side as much as possible to straighten him out. Its working! In your case, I would stow left and see if it helps.

I have same problem except bend to left and never bent before...I'll try pushing to right and storing it there. The same exercise worked for me to get it up higher.
