Discomfort when trying to cross legs?

Postby DonBecker54 » Wed Feb 03, 2016 10:47 am

I play guitar, and had to take a hiatus after surgery for obvious reasons. I'm trying to get back to it, but I'm having difficulty because I can't cross my legs for very long. My penis fells like it's pinching in spots, and I get a slight sharp pain. Where before surgery I'd play 4-6 hours a day, right now one hour is max.

Is the pinching common? If so, does it go away?

Thanks for any replies.

Do you play classical guitar?

No, electric. Even if I hold the guitar in a classical position with the neck at 45 degrees or more, I still have to cross my legs.

I suppose I could play standing until things get back to normal.

When did you get the surgery? I play guitar, bass, classical and electric, and I couldn't even play it while standing for a month. Now, I have no problems.

I play CG, but a week or so after my implant surgery I was able to play with no discomfort. I use a footstool, and it was entirely comfortable.

It's been three weeks since my surgery. Maybe it's a bit soon to expect comfort.

You have a different implant but I have pinching issues too. I've found nearly every time, if I pump about 5-10 pumps into it, move it left to right a couple times pinching is over with. Palpating it feels like winkles in the cylinders or tubes are the pinch cause. On the right I get pinching if there is enough pressure to make the three tubes hard and stiff. If I release a little pressure so the tubes are softer, then that helps. You might try.

The cylinder material will soften over time, and your cylinder cavity will loosen up. It will probably take months but it should resolve itself.

I'm seven weeks and out and now I can cross my legs and sleep on the side with knees together.
Don't know when I was able to start do this, but I definitely couldn't do it when I was three weeks out.

Things take time. As long as there is progress, albeit slow, things are fine. Slow progress is still progress and all is good.
It is when the progress stops, or even regresses, we should be worried...

I am 9 weeks out and now that I don't have a grapefruit between my legs I can cross them OK :D However, hat said, there are times when I get a pinching feeling, either from the pump or the tubes pinching something in there. Just gotta rearrange a little to get rid of it.
