Numbness after surgery

[Osprey_1]

Still waiting to hear back from doctor after inquiring a week ago.

I'd be interested in knowing how many men never had significant numbness or loss of sensation. Not sure if this poll could be modified or if we'd need a new one. I'd consider no numbness to mean "not extending past the surgical recovery period up to the point you're cleared for sex."

It's not in his interest to investigate this. If it was he would quickly order an MRI.

I tried to set up a self-pay MRI but everyone told me I need a referral so I set up an appt with my GP and I'm going to explain the situation. I know he is going to tell me to get the referral from my Uro. I have an appt with my uro on July 8 but I'm going to try to move it up.

You would think a follow up MRI to check the nerves after surgery would be obligatory.

Can MRI accurately see nerves? I didn't know that. I had MRI done on my implant, i see all the implant parts very clearly, but i didn't know nerves are seen there

I would consider MRN - Magnetic Resonance Neurography. It's a fancier MRI for nerves. As Kodixx suggested already, maybe a referral to a neurologist will help.
