Burning sensation--normal?

[Old Guy]

Yes, I had the same sensation for a few months. My shaft felt like it was sunburned or the skin was stripped away. That got better in a couple months but every time I'd inflate for maybe the first 4-5 months the feeling returned, thankfully it was less intense each time. My research seemed to point to a reaction to the antibiotic on the cylinders. Since that was in the beginning of the pandemic, I never consulted my doc about it.
The baby sock didn't help much for that, but Aspercream did. A small dab smeared along my shaft calmed that burn down for a good part of the day. Just had to wash it off before sex.
A hot bath helped me feel better too.

Are you saying it hurts for days even if you don’t cycle once?

Mine can still feel like it’s burning but usually only after cycling and maybe up to a day after. It is a different pain than the pain while inflated… one guy said like a sunburn. He thought it was the antibiotics as well, but honestly it doesn’t matter of it gradually goes away.

It's burned every day. Sunburn is a good comparison.

Thanks, Old Guy. You would think the docs could test us pre-surgery for such reactions! I definitely will get some Aspercream.

I was about to reply with remembering old guy saying that. There was at least one other guy in here that had a similar situation and by memory it worked out fine.

Well, they did ask me if I had reactions to any antibiotic. One I knew. Guess you don't know until it causes a problem.
