Any creams or analgesics you guys suggest I could put on while going through the cycling process to sorta numb the shaft up and get more time in?!

I had a LGX implant on 03/06/16 and a do over with a CX on 11/09/16. The March cycling was a bit rough. Just do a little at a time and take ibuprofen if necessary. Stay away from the opiods the Dr. gave you as they will stop you up.

I'm pretty much 'don't overdo'..... It all gets easier and less painful with time..... I'm 2.7 and 3.7 years post Titan implant.... All the pain was worth it...... Good luck!!!

The conventional advice is that, "Pain is a guide".

That is, pain or discomfort may be an indicator that you are moving too fast, If you ignore pain, you risk damaging yourself and paying attention to your physical feelings is important.

If pain relievers dull your perceptions of damage, tearing tissues, overdoing, etc, you could regret the temporary convenience gained at the expense of permanent damage.

Proceed cautiously.

I thought I would expand a bit on my earlier advice.

When I had my shoulder surgery, the physical therapist had me stretching to break up the formation of scar tissue pretty soon after my surgery. It hurt, a lot. But not so great a hurt as to indicate damaging the repaired tissue - just enough to prevent formation of more scar tissue and to break up/stretch out what had bugun to form immediately after surgery.

My therapist was intimately familiar with shoulders and the type of surgery I had.

I don't know of physical tyherapists for penil rehabilitation after implantation, so we are on our own as to how much pain is "healthy" and how much pain is unhealthy. So, I guess you (and I, when I get my implant) will have to play it by "ear" so to speak.

With shoulders, you can measure the amount of movement with a protractor-like device. With penises, girth , length and stiffness are the only measurements (that I know of). But fortunately, these are fairly easy to estimate what you used to have before ED and also what will be adequately satisfactory for you and your partner.

While pumping at time I had a Burn feeling like you get lifting weights. Most of that was when I was pumping as much as possible to stretch out to the max so I could recover size. I no longer experience any of that.

When I pump to max (hard bulb) there is a little 'burn' from stretching but nothing serious. I'm pumping and stretching, (not counting intercourse ) daily 5 days a week.
