johbaldbg: . . . blood thinners. don't take anything like that so i've been trying to figure out why the discoloration goes up my hips and down my thighs. it occurred to me it may be from the internal bleeding after i got home on day 2. i alternate sleeping on both sides and maybe some of that blood...

day 13: swelling continues to abate, which has led to a new discovery. now that my scrotum is no longer the size and shape of a grapefruit, it's assumed an odd asymmetry. i decided to try out the pump but the scrotal skin is so thick in places and there are so many lumps in there it's hard to get a ...

i'd like to see a single recurring or sticky thread with nothing but assessments of their doctors by members who have undergone implant surgery. after haunting this forum for a couple weeks it's clear that andrew kramer represents the gold standard for implant excellence in both surgical technique a...

again, thanks for all your comments! at this point i'm inclined to believe the degree of trauma i experienced is not at all typical and clearly unnecessary. sadly some others here have have similar bad luck, but for me at least there isn't much discomfort now altho sometimes during the night it hurt...

ok, pain - here on day 10 very little over the last few days. i'm convinced one reason is that i've avoided as much as possible the need to bend my guy to fit into pants. around the house i mostly go commando and if i need a little support i've modified some briefs to provide a kind of marsupial pou...

first of all, thanks all for your comments and observations ;) here's how things look after 9 days. there's already been some modest improvement. at this point it think my excessive degree of swelling and discoloration is probably a function of early withdrawal of the drain tube and too much activit...

i haven't discussed it yet with kansas but i'll def bring it up when i see him next tue. as it turns out this evening for the first time i've actually witnessed some significant reduction in the swelling so i feel a lot better about that. but another thing that concerns me is the little c-shaped lac...

the pain has been up and down. i had a nerve block so the first 24hrs was a walk in the park. after that it was bad enough i started taking hydrocodone from a prior surgery that i never needed. after a few days i started to wonder why it still hurt so much at night when i wasn't doing anything. i we...

i'm wondering if he didn't remove the drain tube too early. he told me some docs leave it in as long as 3 days but he yanked it out after 20hrs. and he didn't warn me it was gonna hurt like @#$%^! anyway, i was losing 30-35cc/hr for most of the night and when i told him he advised me that without th...
