This is day 8 post op. Things are somewhat better. Have not used a lot of pain meds so far. Just got the thought that I should take one before going for a walk so i can walk easier and therefore exercise better. Walking is still slow and difficult for me. Your thoughts?
FYI, I work at home and will start tomorrow but no way could i go to an office. I am not sure how long I can sit... But someone here made a suggestions about towels i will try.

Using Pain Meds
68 years old; ED for 30 years; implanted by Dr Kramer on August 27, 2019; 18 cm with 1 cm RTE
Re: Using Pain Meds
I did very few pain meds. Took about half dose for first couple days.
I have to say though for first week I took it pretty easy and stayed on my back mostly except for walking some. Week 2 started being more active.

18 cm plus 1 rte titan installed March 2019. Revision March 2020 by Dr. Andrew Todd, Richmond KY. He replaced the titan with an AMS 700 LGX 18 cm cylinder plus 2 rte for 20 cm total length.
Re: Using Pain Meds
Personally I try to avoid taking pain meds. I took one the day I came home from implant surgery, not for pain, but I figured it would help me sleep. My thought is pain meds mask pain and the pain is telling your body something. I hint if it is too painful to do something you are not ready to do it.
I am 64 and had ED from a VL. Implanted by Dr. Ronald Anglade in Atlanta on 9/18/17. I have an AMS700LGX 21 cm via a Penoscrotal incision. Very happy with results. 6" soft and 6 3/4” x 5 5/8” hard.
