Cycling Pain

Postby crisko » Sun Jul 21, 2019 10:46 pm

My doctor first pumped me up on July 5. He instructed me to try to cycle a few times per day, perhaps a couple for shorter durations and once for 15-20 minutes. I've been trying to keep this up, but it still hurts quite a bit every time--so I kind of dread it. My question is: does the pain subside, and if so: when?

15 moths since implant and pain almost immediately if I max pump. I can only stand it for 5 minutes at the most. 90% pumped and it is ok. It doesn't get any bigger from 90 to 100%, just harder. Very hard.

cycling pain dose subside and it should not take 15 months in 2 weeks after the start its not going to be without some discomfort just hang in there. No pain no gain at least for six weeks but go at it a little at a time but go all in if its three minites this week five next and fifteen next month you will get there.

for me the pain subsided after about 3 months. the AMS LGX cylinders are still expanding. i welcome to pain now , that insures me that stretching is going on. about 2 months ago, i realized that i have only 1 chance to cycle and stretch thing out, i try to cycle 3-4 times a day that wayt i can get optimum results. i hope this encourages you

I wonder if the LGX gives some pain since it expands lengthwise vs the CX which doesn't?
I never have pain but probably don't gain length.
I also don't get my old tri-mix girth with the CX so maybe no pain there either.

I'm a little over a year out and feel very little pain from inflation. If I pinch the same spot on my scrotum every time, and pinch very hard, there is a little bit of pain there, but just moving the pump to a different spot relieves it. I'm trying to pump to absolute max, wait 5 minutes, pump even more, repeat a couple times. When I get completely inflated this way, there is a little pain which probably means I'm still stretching things a little, and that's good. I try to do that a couple times every day, though my doc still wants 4 times a day.

It took about 3 months for the vast majority of the pain to go away. After that, it's been just trying to keep stretching.

You should be feeling better about it soon, but all guys are different.

Cycling pain?

Since my first erections as a youth, I had some degree of pain when fully erect. Really hard erections would prevent me from voiding my bladder. I had to wait until it went down (by time or orgasm) before I could pee!

During years of slowly progressing ED, full-blown erections that produced that strain to my penile tissues gradually went away.

Now, with my implant, that long-ago familiar strain (a little bit of pain a little bit of excitement and a lot of reassurance that my manhood is ready for action) is back, happily so.

So, I don't ask if it is pain. I ask if it is a good pain or a bad pain. When I pump up my implant to the maximum, it is a good pain. On the occasions when I go to sleep fully pumped, the pain will wake me after a couple of hours very reliably. That much pain, I consider to be good.

How about yours?

I had the same experience of not urinating with an erection.
Now, fully pumped, I can urinate.
I have to be careful when trying to ejaculate that I hold back the urine.
I think that would turn my wife off.
I told her yesterday that when I jaculate, only powder comes out.
Of course she believes me lol.
