Left cylinder not deflating LGX

Postby WhiteCane » Wed Jan 08, 2020 9:34 am

Starting to have some subtle irritations with this thing… I got done cycling about an hour ago… The right cylinder deflated just fine but the left is hard as a rock… this is the same side that the deflation button seems to have healed on, the same side with the bubble that I’ve described… I’m just kind of getting tired of crap with the cylinder so soon after surgery… I’m thinking about calling Kramer later in the day if I can’t find advice on here and how to fix this one… i’m sure it’s just a kinked tube or something but all of these little things are really starting to get quite annoying… trying to keep positive about all of this and doing a pretty good job… I just really did not need this one this morning…

Similar issues here. I pressed the deflation button and even felt the vibration. Dick is still pretty hard pointing at almost 3 o clock. Not sure if this is normal.

Yes, your situation is completely normal… mine did this for about the first month and a half… It eventually gets much easier to handle! Best of luck, my friend

Have you contacted an AMS Rep? That was the biggest help for me when I had my pump problems. Took care of it in few days as soon as they were able to call me back. This was after working with Kramer for 3 weeks with very little improvement.

I have not tried that yet… I called danielle and Dr. Kramer called me back within an hour… he gave me the recommendation to keep inflating and deflating assuming maybe it’s an air bubble or something… Not an air bubble LOL… i’m going to have to schedule an appointment for next week per his recommendation if I don’t get this figured out… I’m right in between New York and Baltimore sort of… Philadelphia, actually… it’s just painful cycling for six hours straight on one side LOL… I inflated it a couple of pumps to maybe even out the pressure on the head of my penis… That seems to help a little bit… Any other ideas are welcome guys! how do these six weeks mostly inflated guys do this crap?!

Have you tried to release kinked tubing by rocking up down left and right while inflated? Have to pull it in those four cardinal directions to try to release any links. The patient advocate should be able to help you with the instructions.

Great, good to hear you're back on the road again. Might want to share that trick with your doctor. I work in tech and troubleshooting is my job so I try to remember all the things I read about minor mechanical complications and how you fix them.

Another cylinder question:

Honestly I can't feel the difference between flaccid and hard. I can feel the vibration while deflating but I can't feel any hardness dissapating.
