teste and pump fusing?

[bubblehead]

Week 3 with AMS 700. Doing my tube/pump pull downs I noticed I cant separate the pump from my right nut. Left nut is free and to the left. Go for my final post op session with the surgeon in 4 days. Could my right nut and the pump fused? Are they going to have to cut me open to separate them? Panic!

Submariner....DO NOT WORRY. All is well. Your body is walling off the pump into its own lil compartment. They will not need to do surgery. I had exactly the same concerns....but everything turned out well with no intervention.

Just talked to Abigail, Dr. Montague's nurse, about this today. Apparently, scar tissue can develop and cause the two to "fuse." my guess is that gently massaging the pieces to break the scar tissue will help, but call your doc. I'm sure he has dealt with this before. I managed to pop scar tissue right at my incision yesterday. Feels better now that I have broken it. Learned that trick when I had my carpal tunnel surgery. Talk to your doc first though. Everything will be ok.

I had the same problem, my body wanted to surround the pump, I had a lot of difficulty. I soaked in a warm bath or shower, then would grab the pump and try to pull it loose. You can feel it separating, kind of like pulling a band aid off your skin. It took weeks, and even my doctor was impressed. It still adheres to the left testicle a bit, but doesn't bother me. Don't panic!

yeah my pump and sac fused together a bit as well. Just another think you'll have to get used to, unless you're lucky enough to get it separated a bit

Most doctors will not want to risk any more infection by going back in again. Some might but I'd be leery of those guys.

Keep yourself from getting infected is now priority number 2, after keeping it worked CONSTANTLY to avoid any more scar tissue from taking over. Lots of it will form, keep it all moving constantly to keep from it freezing the cement that becomes scar tissue.

Many posts written about this. If you're gonna get it put in, then ya gotta work it! It's not a good time to become a pussy wimp and afraid to use it after it's in.
