2 months today & when puimped up the pain is awful. burning, pressure outward, sometimes short sharp pain. All enough to overcome any sexual feelings. I am hoping this is really normal as my surgeon says it varies with different patients. I'd appreciate any input here as it seems so far this whole thing is in vain. Unable to perform sexually due to intense pain.

I am a week behind you. Had sex at week 5 but it was very painful afterwards in the taint area. The shaft varies from irritated to numb. I was only able to cycle it after I started taking lyrica at week 6. Prior to that the skin of the sack was to tender to squeeze. I was hoping to be one of the ones that are back in the saddle by week 4 and going at it like teenager's again but that is not the case. It always gets a little better each day, but it seems like it is 1 percent per day not any big improvement s but almost always moving forward.

angelbob,
Try pumping just to the point of being uncomfortable ... wait a while, then add a pump or two. Go slow and give your body time to adjust ... you may find doing the pumping in a hot bath may help. You'll find that you do not need to be "max pumped" for sex ...
