Re: Getting frustrated
Welcome to the club! There's a lot to break down there, so I'll contribute what I can right now. First - 10 days in is still very early in the healing process. My first implant was feeling comfortable in my body until 8-9 weeks out. There was A LOT of healing, bruising, and it just took my longer th...

Re: Renewal Price and issues?
Hi Rawness - I'm on my 2nd implant since age 20, and like you, expect to have a few more over my lifetime. I will need to budget to hit my out of pocket (OOP) insurance annual spend for a replacement every 10 years (hoping for 15 years per implant, but best to budget for 10). So if my OOP is around ...

Re: Extreme tip pain 1 year post op
It’s hard to pin point when the pain started because there was tip pain when I started cycling, but I do remember it being more on the left. Sometimes I am able to completely inflate and has sex with little pain and sometimes it can hurt for days following. I haven’t reached out to dr Eid yet becau...

Re: Implant at Young Age
Minnesota! Good to see you're still around! Any comments on how your implant life is going? What is your size if you don't mind my asking? Hey Wolfpacker - I believe I'm at 5'' with my revision, slightly bigger than the 1st. Not sure on girth yet as I haven't inflated fully. My first implant served...
Re: Extreme tip pain 1 year post op
Hi! Is this tip pain new or something that has developed recently? OR is it pain that never went away after recovering? Have you shared with Dr. Eid?
Re: Tip pain
Based on my experience with my first implant, I was feeling tip and scrotal pain around various spots where the implant (or tubes) were placed during week #5, 6, and 7. Keep your doctor informed, but they may tell you that you're still healing even though other men are feeling pain free at this poin...

Re: My Journey Thus far.......
Hello Men! I'm Back! Minnesota here. 31 years old and just Friday (10/2/2020) I received a new implant. I experienced a device failure after 11 great implanted years. My surgery was completed by Dr. Kohler at Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN (my backyard) and recovery is going great. I can't believe the ...
