I am 6 months since ipp. Doing some heavy work 3 weeks ago and started having testicle pain. Most on left side. I went to ipp doc and he said my res. was under my pubic bone and was not the cause. Some times it is both sides so he said may be a bladder problem. The whole area is connected.
Well while waiting for an appointment with my GP who specializes in internal medicine, I have noticed that when the pain comes on I feel a bulge 4 inch above my pubic area, left side. I can push on it and it moves. Sometimes when I push on it, I can hear air gurgle. Also pass gas and feel bloated in tummy.
Question, has anyone had their reservoir move around? Can't imagine reservoir could move up that far without pulling up on the valve block. Just rambling I guess. Getting tired of being kicked in the nuts.
Any thoughts??
Added: URO that did ipp checked me for hernia and had negative urine sample

The reservoir in my first implant moved around for a while. Eventually, after a few months it stablized in place. F'cking p.o.s. was hanging upside down like a fruit on a tree by the tubing just below my navel. I still think that explains why it only pumped up decent or deflated easily while laying down. I am not sure what to think of the cloverleaf design reservoir but it seems it would be less inclined to move.

I believe the reservoir is well stabilized-encapsulated-after 3 months unless there is some medical/anatomical issue. Then check w doc.

Ali, When the reservoir was that far upon your body, where was the pump? did the reservoir drag the pump up in your scrotum? I don't have any idea how long the tubing is. What kind of machine can see the reservoir inside of me? Mri, ct, what?

Went hunting the last 2 days walking my butt off. No reservoir pain because I kept myself pumped up and the reservoir near empty. Now tomorrow I will run flacid and see what happens. Getting a CT scan with contrast, next week to see where the reservoir is.

left my dick flaccid all day Monday and Tuesday. Bulge on left side was not there. Thought,, gee I am healed. Pumped it hard Wednesday morning for a little sex. When I deflated it, the bulge reappeared and if I touched it, I feel like someone smacked my left nut. Left nut pain near unbearable the rest of this day when walking or moving at all. I cycled it hard Monday night and it did not give me this problem. WTF. Anyone else ever have this problem?

oldbeek, was this thing an infrapubic installation?

Sorry you are having these problems. I sincerely hope your CT scan next week provides you with answers and good news.

Yes infra pubic. Tell me more about your floating reservoir. Did it cause you pain also?

Mine did not cause pain at the reservoir but the blasted thing was hard to keep up with . It kept moving up and toward center, then by the time Dr. Kramer found it, it was straight below my navel hanging upside down like a fruit from the tubing. What DID cause me a lot of pain was the tubing wrapped around the right side of my penis. Penis pain and a lot of right testicle pain that would even flow down to about the bottom of ball sack level in my right leg. There were times I literally sat down in the floor wherever I was at because I could not take the pain any more. From my perspective, I wonder if the way it is installed is part of the issue, but then again, I was thinking about you today making firewood as it was getting tender on my right side where this reservoir is. Maybe the cloverleaf design of the Titan reservoir needs to be re-thought.
