Normal pain?

Hey guys
So I'm in day 12 after surgery and most of the pain is gone. A new pain is here though. Just under my left testicle it feels like a sharp pain. Actually makes it really hard to sit down. If I lay on the bed it's ok. Or if I push on it it feels better.
Ice helps but only if the ice is on it. Balls are still swollen as hell too.

This is probably normal but...is it normal? Starting to worry a little bit.

A turning point for me was buying a heating pad. Smallest that I could find. I would put it on the lowest setting & keep it between my legs as I slept. I'm a side sleeper so overall it worked fairly well. It seemed like if I kept my scrotum warm that it would relax a lot.
Like others, my pump was up pretty tight to my shaft. I had read about all these guys being worried about an adhesion. In my case, once my skin lossened up from the warmth. All of a sudden my pump would float & I could feel most of the way around it.
It gets easier to find the release button if you can get your skin loose.
In my opinion this works better than the hot bath advice cause it can last a long time.

As each week passed different points developed pain at times my scrotum, the dog ears, sometimes the reservoir but always becoming less noticeable as time went on and finally pain free at week 5.

I have the same thing 21 days out of surgery I had to take 3 strong pain meds to stop my pain this morning. My lump is also stuck to my scrotum so pain is there. Talk to your doctor and see what he says.
Im still on pain meds everyday ketorolac 10 mg
And anti biotics
