Still in pain

[Shay54]

Hi Guys,
I am five weeks tomorrow since I've had my surgery, and I still have discomfort when I inflate and my balls still hurt some. Is this normal or typical? My Dr said at my 3 week visit that everything looked great.

Thanks!

Pain is very subjective. I’m at 5 weeks as well. I don’t really have any pain in my balls. I have pain in the tips when I fully inflate. Having some pain at 5 weeks is normal. The pain should be decreasing over time though. If it is not, I would have another visit with your doctor to be on the safe side.

Shay54, hang in there. I'm approaching 5 months and the discomfort from the tips is pretty much over now. Not saying it will take as long for you as me...we all heal at different rates. It will get better. The discomfort wasn't enough to avoid sex, just pumping to the max. When you're cleared for sex, don't pump to max and you'll do just fine.

I'm also at 5 weeks -- the scrotum is fairly pain free and I can inflate and deflate without any issues (been cycling for 2 weeks). The shaft and head get quite sore when I inflate to max -- I'll feel it for several hours afterwards. I've been cycling every other day for about an hour -- after 45 minutes the sharp bursts of pain throughout the shaft and head almost makes me see stars! It's bearable but quite uncomfortable. I've had mostly oral sex at this stage, which is tolerable, but orgasms are a mix of pleasure and pain, with the pain outweighing the pleasure (overall still worth it!), and the pain seems to be slowly decreasing.

I think we need to be on a "month by month" time frame rather than day by day or week by week.

Thanks guys for your replies and support! I have been cycling 2x per day for 15 minutes each time. I tried intercourse a couple of days before my ffpifth week and I couldn't get in, it was very painful in the tip. My Dr said I could start having sex at 5 weeks. I think it's going to be longer than that.

My brother Shay,
No two surgeries are alike in 24 days I was fucking happy with little discomfort. I said little not no. There was a discomfort as my surgery completely healed but the pleasure was worth it all. You are doing fine my friend. If you have any concerns by all means see your doctor to put you at ease. We are all here for you cheering you on. Can't wait to meet my bionic brother in Atlanta. PM me anytime.

Shay,
I have been so lucky not to have the pain many of you have had. I had mum plant four weeks ago and aside from a mild discomfort at first, haven't had any issues. I was worried at my activation appointment today I would feel strong pain getting inflated more than I had been so far, but there was none.

I sometimes wonder if I just have a strong tolerance, but then I recall the pain before and after Rotator Cuff surgery, Gallstones, and a herniated disk in my back. They were a nightmare and my implant has been pretty easy.

I hope your pain goes away soon.
