Anyone else experienced lots of reservoir pain after 6 weeks? For me, pain comes with laughing & standing - so bad it feels like the reservoir will pop out. Sometimes just standing for a while will cause pain.
Does the mesh used to install the reservoir weaken the abdomen long term?

Re: Reservoir pain +6 weeks
Sorry about your pain. The doctor placed the reservoir on my right side. This is where they are supposed to place it.
The Retzius space is a part of the extraperitoneal space, between the pubic symphysis and the urinary bladder, often referred to as retropubic or antero-vessical, paravesical and pararectal, retropubic space, cave of Retzius, space of Retzius, or Retzius cavity.
I did have pain in that area for a good while but I don’t think to your extent. That area took the longest to heal. I could definitely feel the reservoir when the implant was totally deflated and the reservoir was totally full, to me it felt like a bulge on that side of my lower abdomen.
As far as I know they didn’t place any mesh to repair a hernia where the reservoir is placed.
You have to follow the doctors orders about lifting anything over 5 to 10 pounds. I paid for that a couple times and would have to up my pain medication for several days on a couple occasions.
Everyone is different with how their body heals, give it some time.
I did a lot of ice packs every day for many weeks.
If it’s not getting better after 10 weeks, I would make a follow up with your urologist.
Good Luck!

Re: Reservoir pain +6 weeks
I am currently 6 weeks and one day into recovery. My right side groin and abdomen where the tube and reservoir are are still sore and they are my biggest issue by far. I do think I over did it in previous weeks though. My actual penis and scrotum are feeling much better and I hope the abdomen will too in the next month. I wish the best for you (and me, lol)

Re: Reservoir pain +6 weeks
My reservoir is on my left. I 've had diverticulitis for 5 weeks now and i wonder if my reservoir is aggravating it.

Re: Reservoir pain +6 weeks
I've not heard of that as a complication but that doesn't mean it's not true. I hope your problems with diverticulitis resolves soon.
Re: Reservoir pain +6 weeks
I felt my reservoir post surgery and for a long time. I can not remember exactly how long but it was for maybe 3 months. Maybe even longer. Not really a pain but pressure and discomfort. I would put a call in to the surgeon if you are having pain at 6 weeks. And as far as I know no mesh was used for my penascrotol surgery.
Good luck.
