The prosthesis works, the doctor showed it to me, but for pumping and afterwards also for deflating, the pain in the scrotum was enormous, and in fact I still can't use it for this reason, I would like to understand how many people this has happened to, and after how long it was resolved?
FWIW, I'm almost 3 weeks post-op myself. Per Dr's orders, I've been cycling for the last two weeks or so. I did start with some pain inside my scrotum, though I think it was mostly my testicles b*tching about sharing the space. That pain is mostly gone now.
Once I started cycling, I got a different pain in my scrotum - namely that the skin there isn't all that happy about all the squeezing it has to endure. Is that what you're having? If so, it will get better, though you'll have to work through it with regular cycling so that the skin there toughens up. Also, with practice the pump will loosen up and your technique will get a little better, which also makes it easier and less painful.
After two weeks of cycling, it's definitely started getting better for me. Pro tip - take a couple ibuprofen 30-60 minutes before you inflate/deflate.
