SORENESS AFTER 7 WEEKS

[544kenmatt]

At the risk of sounding like a big baby, I'm wondering if you guys who have had an implant were still sore after 7 weeks. My scrotal discomfort is mostly gone, but my penis hurts to move it around (up, down, side to side) and the skin is still feeling irritated to the touch. The soreness is worse, I think, after cycling.

The cylinders are always partially filled and I am told this is my new normal, which is cool, but the discomfort continues.

I know patience is the key but I just wanted some assurance that this will eventually calm down.

7 weeks is normally the frontier, but I am 3 months ahead surgery and still aches after pump. If deflated (I don't see the reason why you are not completely deflated when not cycling, maybe that is the cause of your soreness), I don't feel any pain. But the in the skin of the scrotum I feel some pain sometimes, and there are zones where I feel numbness. Also, my right tescicle aches when I touch it.

Every one of us are different. I don't see anything strange in your evolution.

I was still sore at 7 weeks. It all takes time. At 3 months I'm pain free except after a hard cycling session. Regarding partial deflation, someone here said I wasnt pushing the fluid out of the cylinders in my pelvis. He was right. Had to be a bit of a contortionist, but I sit on the edge of a square bar stool to put pressure on that part of the cylinders, squeeze my penis, head to base, while holding the deflate button down. All the fluid is pushed into the reservoir and I'm totally flacid till I pump up again. Well worth the effort for me.

I am also 7 weeks post op and still having pain even when not cycling. Mostly on the underside of the Penis

Heres my 2 cents 7 weeks is very early in recovery time give it some time some guys heal quiker than others took a long time for me but even if aggressive cycle its sore but still stretching which is a good sign I think might be a little more there lol be patient give it time as the saying goes (time heals all wounds)

The first three months are a bit difficult but after that you’re pretty much healed although things do get better slowly as time goes on but the majority of the healing is taking place by then. I’m currently 14 months since the surgery the only time I have any mild discomfort is squeezing the pump no more pain in the tips or anywhere else. We all would like an instant fix to normal but we have to weigh the benefits against what we had before the surgery the new normal is different. We all wish we could have it back when we were 18 but unfortunately that’s not gonna happen to be thankful for the modern technology that allows us to function again. Be patient it does get better.

Thanks guys....I feel much more optimistic now and will try to be more patient!

It WILL calm down, never fear. Yes, some of us are fine after a few days (!), and my surgeon warned that 2 weeks would be bad, but 7-8 weeks after surgery was very feckin sore for me - spent a lot of time in bed and hot baths (not cold) gave relief.
But 3 1/2 years later, it's all a distant memory. All that pain is now pleasure.
