Re: AMS pump such a problem?
I have only experienced the AMS pump, so I can't give you comparison, but I'm completely happy with the AMS pump. It took a little while for something to "seat" in the pump, but after pumping in a hot tub everything changed for the better. My pump works great, is easy to pump and I get com...

Re: Bicycle riding
For the first few weeks I wore a tight jockstrap just to keep everything high and tight, but moved back to regular compression shorts pretty quickly.

Re: Bicycle riding
Jage, are you on Strava? No, I'm not. A buddy and I ride the same 18+ mile route 3 times a week. It bores him to tears, but I'm a creature of habit and like that it's mostly not on roads where idiot drivers can maim or kill me without a second thought. I don't trust people in cars when I'm IN a car...

Re: Bicycle riding
I ride ~60 miles a week, and have been with my AMS CX for the past 11 months or so. No issues with my saddle or device when riding. Since tubes were mentioned above, Dr. Eid put out a video about the tubes being an issue on the Coloplast Titan with the Touch pump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTQ...

Re: Implanted 3-20-24 Dr Clavell
Before you know it you'll be a year out and you'll wonder where the time went.... ;) Congrats, it just gets better and better every day. I'm one of the lucky ones, I only took Tylenol and Advil for a couple of days, had no bruising and was released to use it as designed at 4 weeks. IMO you chose one...

Re: Over pumping AMS 700CX
Post op I could pump 100x and never get the 'marble' I read about so often on FT. I was worried. I contacted Dr. Clavell and asked him if there was a bypass valve I was engaging, there is no bypass valve. His counsel was to just continue cycling and things would settle in. Probably 2 mos. post op I...

Re: Does your spouse pump it?
she has, she can, but it sort of takes us both out of the moment. I can do it one handed with ease so it's my job.

Re: Firmness Question?
my vote is you're just losing hand strength...
Do you get to the same hardness on the pump you once did? Does it 'marble' and you feel the cylinders are not as stiff?
