Had a prostatectomy back in 2015, implant 2017. No sex since 2022 masturbated a few times (wife thinks it's sick to masturbate) anyhow last couple of days I had what if feels like "Blue Balls", question: Is it possible to have BB after a prostatectomy???

Epididymal hypertension (blue balls) is common shortly after a prostatectomy. Given how long it has been since yours, perhaps you should check with your urologist.

Good recommendation to see a Urologist. There are a couple of underlying medical conditions that could cause your symptoms. If it is in fact EH, the situation should resolve, but things like epididymitis, kidney stones or varicoceles could mimic EH.

Yes. If I don't empty my boys at least once a week they feel swollen and get sore. However, the soreness is not what I call pain. If you are having pain it may be good to see a urologist.
BTW- Masturbation is not sick or gross.
