Hey guys,
Has anyone got an infection 11 or 12 weeks post-op? It appears I may have one.. I'm heading to the doctor and then hospital now. How is this possible?

Infection can happen anytime with an implant. No matter what kind. With a penile implant this is rare but in the cases where it does happen are most common in the first year. This was one of the reasons I told my self that I would not judge the outcome of my surgery for a year.
Sorry to hear of your problem and I hope they caught it early and wish you the best of luck. Hope you have a fine surgeon and can be able to have the infected device removed and replaced with either another inflatable or a malleable. Or even better that they caught it early enough to treat it with medication and no surgery is needed.

This link has some good information but it is dated a bit circa 2010.

The symptoms I had were my scrotum was sore and swollen to double its size. I could no longer even find the pump. And my pubic area was extra sore and swollen as well.
