I am on tylenol 500 milligrams which I was taking twice a day, which I was doing for muscle pain before the operation. I will be activated on Tuesday. Can identify and finger all the parts now without any pain, have not attempted to activate/push anything, just trying to get the lay of the land. My testicles feel about the same way as they did before surgery, in other words they were tender before and they are still tender. Can feel where the RTE are attached to the cylinders, they stick up about an inch from my public bone.
Occasionally, depending on how much walking around I have done, I will get a tired feeling in my penis. Kind of like when you had too much sex, remembering my younger days.
In those instances I have taken an additional Tylenol.
Post-op I developed a scab from my hole across my glans. It peeled off and left a slight discoloration on it. I talked to Dr Cornell and it was a result of the ureatha incision he used to pull the cylinders up to the glan. ( I went back and watched some IPP operations and saw the doctors pull the cylinders into the glan). This week I did try taking 1.25 milligrams of daily cialis and had a glan erection. Pre-op I would have an erection and I could feel the erection and I wondered whether that feeling would go away with the IPP. I have found that I still have the feeling of an erection with a glan erection. YAHOO
Looking forward to activation on Tuesday, saved a Tramadol tablet in anticipation of pain.

Was activated Tuesday, given my AMS KeyRing and told by Doctor Cornell it is fit for service, i.e., intercourse/masterbation.
Go forth and recycle!
In reality am a little sore and I think I am a couple of weeks from any activity WITHOUT PAIN. The activation obviously breaks apart some scar tissue, hence the pain. It was not unbearable because I took meds in anticipation.
I relate the pain experienced when inflating the IPP to pumping to the limit (max pressure) in the VED. When I reached what Dr. Dineen terms "the burn", as in the VED you released the pressure when it became uncomfortable, you do the same with the deflate button.
Dr. Cornell said what I thought were the RTE are deeper in my body. He said I still had some swelling and the scrotum skin would toughen. I think I will get stronger thumbs/fingers over the coming months.
At the beginning the pump is rock hard, seems to get softer after repeated squeeze and then harder again. No problems locating the pump and release button, just have to be careful not to squeeze skin or the incision line (still tender).
Am happy with the results, i.e., so far do good and I like what I see.
Yes, would do it again in a heart beat.
