Recovery Expectations

[Old Guy]

Wow... almost at 4 weeks and no pain finally. I have a follow-up Wednesday and I get to inflate for the first time. I'm crazy excited.

Pump is attached to the side of my scrotum wall so I'll need to work on that before everything is 100% but I'm feeling really good about all of this. Currently, pumping causes some pain as is its sandwiched against my left testicle.

Everyone's encouraging words helped a lot. For some, you have an easy recovery, others of us, not so much. My recovery was debilitating for nearly 3 weeks. So, yeah, everyone's encouraging words really helped me get through the anxieties.

Thanks all.

Glad things are better. Those first few weeks can be a bear. Sounds like you need to work on moving the pump around to break it free. Soon it should all be worth the misery of the surgery.

BUMMER! Just got back from the surgeons office and...so I have severe scarring around the pump. There's no room to deflate and it hurts to pump. I have to wait until October 17th. They will put me under and try to break everything free. This journey looks like it will be nearing 3 months before I can take advantage of it. I'm seriously bumming.

He also put me in a bit of pain digging around in my scrotum. Sounds like tubing could be twisted up as well.

Story of my life. You guys will have to wait a bit for my end story. LOL

I feel you man, I have seroma around my pump and I'm 12 days post surgery! I was complaining from severe pain at my glans and he wanted to to deflate me a lit bit it and it was such a PAINFULL experience! I feel that things are getting better and my major discomfort is from the itching and needle like glans pain on top of the seroma around the pump
