I went bionic April 17, last week. Since then everything has been fine. Very little swelling and or pain. The only problem I'm having is a sharp pinch type of feeling when I just touch the bottom of my scrotum where the pump is. It feels like pins when I just touch the bottom of my sac where the pump lays. I can feel around on the pump with little pain but the constant pinching feeling when I touch it is annoying. I just want to make sure that this will go away. I also get that same feeling when I'm getting up or sitting in chair, I get a pinch feeling where that 3rd nut is. I know its only been app 1 week but this feeling bothers me because I'm not sure of what or why it is. I hope it goes away. I was wondering if anybody experienced the same thing or something similar. Maybe my sac has to get use to something new in side of it and there may be irritation? Not sure. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It could be nerves... if so, in time it will calm down. It could also be that your surgeon anchored your pump down low with a suture or two. If so, that too will tame with time. Unfortunately, the answers to most newly implantees questions are "give it time" but it is true. As soon as your doctor says that baths are ok, a nice hot bath (as hot as you can stand it) will do wonders. It softens up the pump, the bath lasts longer and feels freakin fantastic. Very therapeutic. Happy healing and welcome to the brotherhood.

Early to say but i had the pinching too. It actually feels more like a pulling. Almost feels like there is a stitch holding the pump to the skin. Turns out that my pump had adhered to my sack. This is a common problem if thats the case. Warm baths help it to release. Takes a little time but just have to deal with the pinch as you call it. It should pass in time if thats what it is. Hope this helps.

Thanks Bandit..... I think the Dr stitched the pump in place. That would not be a problem would it? Most Dr do that when placing the pump don't they? Was yours stitched? How did you get it free? I can feel my pump. It seems to be free because I've been feeling around for the deflate button. Im new to this implant procedure. Hope Im not confusing you trying to describe it.

Often, dissolving stitches are used. Getting it free is, thus, not an issue.

Early on everything down there was painful if it touched anything. I even built a tube to put my dick In so it would not touch anything. David arch briefs from Amazon extremely soft are good for soft support.

My tubes are just under my skin and pinch all the time. It's only been since Dec 4th. My pump is very low like your but never pinches. It was stuck to my skin for several months. That was perfect. Held it at just the right angle for a one handed approach. Great. It has come loose now and moves up freely so that I can bunch my pump up against the boys and inflate with no trouble no pain.
But the tubes pinch my scrotum and sometimes the pump does too whenever I sit the wrong way. Was better when it stuck to my skin and could not move.
The pinching was much worse, sharp uncomfortable. Now it's just a little annoying. I think it will be gone in another month or so. Just in time for my revision.
