Pump location; low riding pump

[Lester33]

Willy I was riding a Triumph Street Triple with no problem whatsoever. Other issues have sidelined me but you should enjoy both bikes when healed. Good luck!

Gentlemen, while we are talking about pumps and balls I have a issue: Newbe gave me the thought I could move my pump around -kinda center it in my balls as it is low (maybe too low) it really hangs down on my right side. The smaller testicle on the right side seems trapped up in the tubing from the pump. The pump also seems to be stuck at the lowest part of balls, like sewed in!?. So try as I did i can't slide it to the center ie making it tilt to a 45 degree angle (which would then give that right ball a little more room) and make my balls more rounded instead of the "fat grape" hanging on that right side. So Here my question for you scholars: Given I have to get Ko'ed in a few weeks so he can re-locate my reservoir ,,, Could should I ask him to adjust the pump at the same time? Or just live with it... Will the scrotum heal more around the "grape" and look worst? or will the skin get thin right their? and continue to hurt? Your thoughts are appreciated

Are you just a month post op? If so that would be swelling going on. If your not post up, it look like the testicle should be looked at. The pump you don’t want to ride up. After healing it usually looks normal. Your relocating your reservoir?

Good Q: at about 9 weeks now, sorry should have listed that. Mose of the swelling is gone now. Yes the reservoir is untenibal in its present location, I can't do sit ups etc. its got to be moved, Surgeon agreed

I am not a doctor and this is really something you should talk over with your doctor.

Yes I plan to talk to Doc about it, Just thinking guys say they can move the pump around and mine is very definitely hooked in place. My scrotum is finally totally loose now after 9 weeks and that sucker aint budging. Thanks for comment

Cb, I saw the pic you posted of your reservoir placement. Did you say you were getting it repositioned ? Did doc give his rationale for placing it there, and how he plans to reposition it ?
My reason for asking is that I was implanted last week on Apr 28 and my reservoir appears to be in exactly the same place as yours and I don’t feel like I’m going to be happy with the placement. I am only 4 days out, so still a good bit of swelling, so time will tell. My doc said because of having had RP, he couldn’t place reservoir in the normal position .
Thank you for sharing, I’d be interested to know how your repositioning goes.
