Howdy there!
Going for implants in May. Wondering how bad the pain is and how long I'll be laid up (bad pun sorry)
Thank you!

You may ask the surgeon how he will deal with the peyronies. Mine chose to keep me pumped up to 80-90 % for 4 weeks to straighten it out. Pain was terrible. Scale 1-10 it was a 15.Everyone is different in healing and pain. Dr never mentioned this before surgery. He of coarse would not give me pain meds.

I'm also from NH, but went to the best dr in NYC, I started cycling on the 3rd day. Every now and then I would take Tylenol with codeine & eventually just ibuprofen. At the beginning of the 2nd week I was going to the gym walking on the treadmill.
I also have PD & I was 70 degrees, most of the curve is gone. For the first 3 weeks I would take hot baths everyday for the swelling & bruises. Not all doctors want you to do this, my doctor does stitches & glue.
I am retired, so if I was working at a desk job, only problem I had was sitting down, not comfortable around the area of the perineum for a few weeks. (need a donut or curve pillow.
Good Luck - all guys heal differently!

I stayed overnight in a hospital overnight and the most uncomfortable part for me was removing the catheter and the drain. At no time during my recovery did I experience any real pain.

My implant was Nov. 2019, so I'm 5+ months out and still have some discomfort. Sore along the incision and where the pump sits and some tenderness along my shaft. Guess I'm in the 3% who have issues, so don't judge by my experience. Me & drugs don't mix well, especially anti-biotics. Otherwise glad I did it but hope it never needs to be done again.
