Im 3 days to reach 8 weeks with Titan OTR. Still feeling pinching and burning sensation from time to time. Is this normal? how long for total recovering?

Pinching is normal, burning where? Maybe the nerves got a bit demolished.
IMHO the high frequency knives from nowadays are less favorable for saving nerval sensations.

I had mine the 5th and still have a little pinching and burning I think this is normal. I also had the Titian implanted. The difficult thing with me is sitting in a chair.

Sitting on one of those little inner-tube cushions makes it much easier.

Could you define pinching and burning please? Don't understand. Thanks!

6 months out. I think weeks 10 and 12 were times where I noticed significant progress in pain and discomfort going away during getting in and out of the van and getting in and out of my chair at work. By week 20 you dont even know it is there unless you are taking it out to pee.

That makes sense. I am hoping to be pretty active after 3 weeks. I workout on an elliptical trainer 4-5 times a week and 2 times with a trainer lifting weights and doing abdominalwork. Thoughts?
I was thinking that I'dhave some discomfort still but just push through it. Am I really off base?

My doctor told me not to lift over 10 lbs. for 4 weeks. I also lift weights and I am using 10 lb dumbells to keep my muscle tone. You really put a lot of pressure on those stiches in the scrotum. I am starting my 4th week as of Thursday.Good Luck!

I have heard of some people playing golf after 3 weeks. I was barely ready to go to work at that point. Probably 6 weeks until I felt like doing anything other than going to work and coming home. For me it was much closer to 12 weeks before I felt like I was back to normal. Slow healer but I always felt a just a little better than I did the day before during the entire 12 weeks til I was back to 100 percent.
