I was o.k. until about 15 years ago when I had several kidney stone surgeries and ended up with severe Peyronies disease. I was part of the drug trial study and it worked for awhile, but has begun to return. The pills never worked for me, but I used trimex successfully for 10 years until it stopped working about 7 month ago. In addition to the insertion the surgeon was also trying to remove some of the scar tissue, so maybe that is why I am more sore than some. I see him today to get the bandages off.


Welcome to FT. Hope you're feeling better today. Every day will be better. I was 68 when I had my implant done last Nov. Unfortunately I was one of the 3% who don't heal so fast. Now things are good. I spent the first 3-4 weeks on the couch or bed, could not sit in a hard chair for some time.

Congrats on the surgery! Hope you are doing well. Had surgery June 15 and currently one month in with full use. Recovery went well, minimal pain and each day gets better. For me I found standing better than sitting and wearing nothing better than anything constraining. When I did need to dress I found something with support better than anything that pushed everything in or boxers with no support. It gets better and you'll be ready to roll soon enough. I would be happy answer any questions or chat just to see how you're doing.
All the best!

Congrats you will be better than new in a few days. Implanted in January and never looked back. Feel free to ask question. Noteas and I had our surgery days apart. We would call each other and complain notes. Both of us have no complaints about being bionic.

jojolee read my post Went from "What did I do" to " OH YEAH!!" (here on FT). This might help you in what to expect in the coming months. I wrote the above post because I wanted to everyone to realize it does take time to get to your new normal but it's SO WORTH IT. I don't get a chance to get on here as much as I used to but mine is still doing great. Just do what your doctor says and once cleared to cycle, pump till it hurts and pump some more. Several others share some good experiences and advice in the post also so read it through. If you have any questions or just want to talk let me know and I'll be available but give me a few days to see it as, again, I don't get a chance to get on here everyday.

Good luck. I laid pretty much flat on my back for a week just to make sure I did not cause any blood to pool in my scrotum. Pretty much just got up to walk and go to bathroom and take a shower. After that week, I was able to do pretty much what wanted. Very carefully though.

Over time things get so much better.

Good luck on healing up as mentioned there is lots of input here. I read each one before my surgery and after.

For the first week I was either flat on my back or in a recliner. Icing on a schedule. The strongest pain med I used was Meloxicam which is a non steroidal med and Tylenol.

Each day I got better and could get around more.

I well remember those first 2 weeks. I have one bit of advice. Your doctor probably told you no sex for 6 weeks. Took me a little longer. Here's a tip. At week 2 or 3 start self simulating to get your ejaculation muscles used to the new feeling. Believe me it will make a huge difference.

Congrats on your new Bionic cock! Soon you will be a stud forevermore! I had my implant January 8, 2020. I was one of the few who hardly was affected by my surgery. No pain and no complications of any kind. The first week I laid low but after that did most of my daily routine. No sex for first six weeks! After that everything as normal @nd here we are!

Thanks to all who responded. It has been a little more than a week, and I am much improved. Swelling is way down, no more pain medication, but still use ice packs which help a lot. Still look bruised, but when I had an angiogram ten years ago I was black and blue for months. I don't see the doctor for another week, but I hope I can start exercising the pump after that.
