Pain in Tips

Postby thegatter » Fri Nov 16, 2012 4:52 am

Hi guys. I know that this has been discussed, but could someone tell me more about the pain in the tips when the unit is fully activated. The pain is pretty intense after about fifteen minutes..... how long will this last, and WILL it eventually go away where I could pump it up and leave it pumped up all day if I wanted to without pain? I was thinking of taking a couple pain relievers an hour before any action.....does that help? Just looking for advice from those that have gone before me.
Take care, and thanks in advance for your advice and help.

At the very beginning of my daily inflations, say the first month I had the tip pain. I didn't put my implant into action till this went away. From your prior posts on your difficultly with pumping, I am just guessing but you may not have made enough progress yet. I don't know about leaving it pumped up tight all day but just shoot for an hour of max inflation for now. You might find later on that max inflation is a moving target as time goes on, so should your ability to inflate to a higher level.
About the pain, I saw some posted pictures of "tip erosion" and that was enough to scare me from rushing things (sex). Those pictures were really scary!! I am guessing that pain is natures way for warning you. If I were you, I would just work on pumping and working the pain out. For me this took about a month after I began inflating.

I am about 7 months out from my LGX implant surgery. I felt that tip pain for the first few months. At first, I couldn't get as erect as I wanted during sex. Over time of inflating it once a day in the shower to the point of discomfort for the duration of the shower,I am now at the point that I can inflate it as erect as I like without any discomfort. I am still inflating it past that point in the shower each day, and still making progress. I don't know how far from surgery you are, but give it time - you should be able to get past where you are.
