Overcycling and bruising from inflation?

Hi to any of you guys.
I started following my cycling protocol about three weeks ago and i'm 5 weeks post-op.
The pain is still there, but is slowly diminishing as weeks go by.
However i started noticing some bruising throughout my shaft.
I asked my surgeon. He told me it's normal and that i should take it easy.
Do you have any similar experience?

No... But bruising when cyling is bad i Guess Never heard of someone here getting bruised when cycling.
I don't know if i stop, but at least i'll decrease time and frequency of it.
I'm scared as hell.

Do you get dog ears right there. I do and shortly after I started inflating I was bruising just about like that. Doctor told me to keep going. I still bruise a little at the dogs ears even 5 months (almost) and still cycling I think that the regular cycling is diminishing the dog ears so I'm not bruising as much. Maybe yours too is not from inflation but instead from having dog ears when it's smashed into clothing all day. The more I can be naked, the more mine straightens and the dog ears go away. I hope this helps I'll post my 5 month picture on Tuesday! Healing seems pretty much complete and I like the device a lot!

I was maxed out after cycling only 2 months…terrible pain, but got all I was getting back in a very short period of time. If you ain’t built cheap, keep going
