How long did your pain last after surgery?

[edwardl007]

It is now over 4 weeks and I still have pain on and off - mostly when i sit- and have not activated the pump yet. Penis still sensitive to the touch and balls ache on and off when sitting, So has anybody ached for that long?

Don’t be to concerned yet. I was implanted 3 years ago. Had pain for a month after. Internal swelling doesn’t go away near as fast as people think. It takes months for things to get normal down there. My doc didn’t let me activated for 6 weeks. No pumping no sex no jerking off. Hang in there.

As far as actual PAIN, what I had is best described as discomfort. I've had lots of pain in my life with 20 major abdominal surgeries and I rated this very low on the 1-10 pain scale. As for how long it lasted, I'd say it was kind of pronounced for around 3-4 weeks but radically tapered away after that. You've had bonafide trauma to a naturally sensitive part of your anatomy. You're a bit premature with being overly concerned. Keep icing it for 20 minutes a few times a day and use pain meds if it gets to be too much. You'll turn a corner any day now and wow the fun you're headed into!

For me I knew the pump was there for a good couple months. More of an ache at times.

Unless I hit it getting in out of car. Then I really knew it was there.

Now pretty much do not pay attention to it unless pumping up.

I had my implant done in a hospital and stayed overnight. I am the biggest chicken when it comes to facing potential pain. The only pain that I had was when they removed my catheter, which abated seconds after its removal. I had some discomfort for about two weeks but no pain.

We are each different so regardless of how long someone else experienced pain it doesn’t mean your situation is abnormal. I only took one pain pill after returning home following implant surgery. The only reason I took it was to sleep better, not for pain. I had what I would call discomfort for a couple weeks, but I have had far worse pain from other things.

Thank you very much for your replies. it does make me feel a lot better. How long was it that you were cleared to jerk off?

I am scheduled for surgery Friday Oct, 4th - I was wondering which type of cut each of you had...Scrotal Vs. Infrapublic . I am thinking this has to play a HUGE part in the pain and recovery.

I had scrotal. No real pain more a dull ache nothing that ice, elevation, and tylenol didn't take care of.

My doc said it was OK to start at 3 weeks as long as I was gentle on myself.
