Post 1 mos and regretting

Postby craig45nj » Wed Jul 03, 2019 7:10 am

I have my implant now a month

Still have lots of pain where head meets shaft when inflated and it’s uncomfortable when inflated

Tried sex and with head engorged it was very painful

Also feels,like two points out of sides of top of shaft that are slightly elevated

Most pain is as I said where shaft meets the head

Anyone else have this ?

I think I’m one of the rare disappointed and regretful guys at this point

Have you been back to see Dr. Eid I have not had any issues that did not resolve on their own after 3 months I still have very mild discomfort in the glands if i pump to max and have sex woman on top.That is getting better all the time. I had a knee replaced and it took a year and a half before it was totally better.Ask Dr Eid for advice.

Concur wholeheartedly!! If he responded to me (whom he didn't know from Adam) TWICE by email in the same day, when I asked him questions my surgeon/ Coloplast rep wouldn't answer, he should definitely be inclined to help you who he had on his OR table.

At 3 weeks I would say like many told me. Patience. 4 months since my titan. It gets better. I had sex at week 3 as well. I was up for about an hour. In and out of her, but it still was sore. Got in a hot bath after. It helps. Bath helps with pump up pain. I pretty much pumped up and down in my tub a couple times a day for about 6 weeks about 30 minutes each time.

Your body is still forming scar tissue around the cylinders. Till that happens those cylinders are pushing against a glans that was meant to hold blood not air filled silicone.

The tips are the issue I guess. Mine are pointing straight up to the tip of my glans. My cylinders when pumped are solid and I cannot feel any crinkles. You might get in a really hot bath. Pump up and see how the tips are. Pointing straight up.

I had a bad peyronies curve and my right tip was about a quarter inch lower than my left due to a slight curve still. When in the tub I would just work my glans fully down on that tip to make sure any scar tissue built up at the same level.

4 months I still have a slight curve, and right tip is just slightly lower than the left. Cylinders get a lot softer as well as the bulb. I still ache some when pumped up fully but not even close to like pain at 3 weeks.

I would keep an eye on the tips and where they are in glans along with do the cylinders fully expand and get rid of ridges and crinkle when you pump in a hot tubs. Eid aggressively sizes to regain or keep your length and has a good track record doing so. I did read a journal where the guy thought he might be to long though and he might have him take out a cm or so. But that was something that he would not know before 4 to 6 months of cycling.

3 weeks is the beginning of a long road to recovery for sure.

God luck. Do cycle in the tub. Hot as you can stand. It helps soften things up.

Hang in there, it will get better!

I had exactly the same issue at about a month, pain on the sides of my shaft, right where it meets the head. That's where the cylinders of the implant meet the tips. The tips are harder material and a little pointed. The material of the cylinders themselves is softer. Where the two meet is a very hard spot. While that spot doesn't really poke out more than the cylinders, the hardness there, where your dick is just a little thinner as it meets the head, causes some pain until you get used to it. It even felt a little abraded on the outside, though I couldn't see any raw spots.

I used some aquaphor ointment on those spots. It seemed to help some. But the best thing was time. Within in a couple more weeks it got much better and at two months out, total, it had pretty much gone away.

Everyone kept telling me to be patient, and they were right.

If you want to talk about it, send me a pm.

I had a lot of pain when I first started pumping just about everywhere. I found that infrequent pumping resulted in sore heads all the time when i was able to actually start my pumpingI strated 5 min in the morning and am and increased that to 15 current the pain diminishes by the day. As I am pumping it to the max I count the pumps and am slowly adding one pump extra a day. It seems time is the answer (55 days in and loving it )

My first activation was one month after surgery. Too much discomfort that month, first real use with a women about a month after activation.t Functional, but not great. Kept getting more girth and length. 9 months after activation, still getting better and better.

Implanted 3 months ago and is getting better every day. Be patient mental issues were part of my problem the first time implanted and led to a bad decision with a bad doctor.

1 month is way too early. Try 2 months.

I also regretted (past tense) getting the implant at first. 4 weeks since implant you're still going to be sore. I was activated at 6wks and was not happy at all with the results and was still sore and hurting. My implant made my penis short and thin and we (wife and I) were pretty stressed about it. That was the first of April. Now after cycling for a few months and letting everything stretch out (still stretching BTW :D ) everything is MUCH better. Getting a little of my length and girth back everyday and only have some mild pain when I really pump it up to stretch and grow. Hang in there it WILL get better.
