That said, since you're able to be very active with it now, I'd say you're doing great!


Hi Minnesota! The pain seems to be directly proportional to the level of inflation. Today I've been able to give some additional pumps than usual and a "crick crick" sound come from the cylinders meaning that they stretched more. Anyway the pain at the level was high and i was able to keep that level just for 5/10 minutes. I hope I'm not going too far with inflation level.
Doctor left me totally deflated after surgery and I started inflating and cycling the device on day 17 even if he suggested to start on day 14 but my testicle were still too sore to pump. Maybe there is some pseudo-capsule to break and that's the reason of the pain.
Out of curiosity, when did you start inflating after surgery?

Hi @steve87
I’m surprised to hear that you didn’t inflate until day 14. I read Dr. Eid recommends inflation on day 3. Are you still swollen or having any pain? I’m planning the surgery with Dr. Eid as soon as the Covid numbers stop spiking. Please pm me if you have any advice or recommendations.

Thanks,
Ed

Doctor told me that since it's not my first implant it's ok to wait more to inflate it. He told me 14 days but i was able to do it after 17 days, not for the swelling but for the pain. I tried on day 13 but i had too much pain in the scrotum pressing the bulb. Now i inflate it daily but I can't reach the max, because pain in the shaft and glas is too much. I hope that with time pain will subside so I will be able to reach full inflation capacity. I also still have soreness in the scrotum but it's less day by day. I have to say that I probably have a slower recovery than usual, but having had three surgeries in one year may contribute to that.
