Hi

Had my implant done last week.

Now my balls are big and heavy. Drs office says to use heating pads any suggestions?

Also started cycling def not easy to find in my sack of nuts lol.

Starting to cycle only after one week sounds crazy..
I could not imagine trying to cycle that early.
My Dr had me wait 4 weeks to cycle and I was still a little swollen.
I know eveone heals differently but it was about 6 weeks til all swelling went away

Definitely ice them occasionally. Best ice pack is a bag of frozen peas which will conform to your shape pretty easy. I started cycling around a week and a half on my second surgery, basically waited till my swelling and pain was low enough to fully grasp the pump and feel the deflate button before using.

9 months all good. Patience

Gonna be a while yet before no pain. Maybe in a couple weeks it will feel OK, but you will still know it hurts.
Ice is the typical cure for swelling. I found heat felt better to ease pain but didn't do much for swelling. Cycling at one week is also going to cause some soreness. At 6 weeks poking around to find my pump still hurt.

I sat on a donut cushion for the first 6 weeks because the pressure of sitting was uncomfortable. 60% inflated the entire time. I had an easy recovery with minimal pain. The soreness and pain had fully subsided at 6 weeks, unless i was cycling. That kind of hurt. 1 year postop now. Totally pain free even at full mast.

I iced heavily those first 4 days. Read that after that time i should switch to heat, which i did. Sounds like you missed the icing window at 7 days. I’d ask the doctor about this.

Ice and heat. I couldn't begin cycling until 2 weeks in and sex at 7 weeks. Takes time.

There isn't a magical line where the pain goes away. Each day there will be less than the day before. I seem to always say to wait 6 months. But most of the discomfort is gone around the 2 - 4 month time. One day you'll start thinking & it'll hit you. You haven't felt any pain for a few weeks. That is the time.

About 2 months for me, if you include cycling maybe 4. Pain for me was very low, 2 out of 10 the first week, 1 week 2, less every week. Most of the time it was no pain week 2 on, but in pants, if i bumped it, had to sleep with a pillow between my legs for 6 weeks because the wrong position hurt. It was no big deal, way better than a sprained ankle, about like a jammed finger. Thank goodness.
