So I had my surgery last Tuesday (11/22) and they gave me a nerve block. I can still feel it now. A urology resident in the hospital said I should feel it wearing off by Friday but here it is Saturday and I still feel numb in some places. Another resident I spoke to said it could take up to 6 (!) weeks to fully wear off as some nerves take quite some time to heal.
Has anybody had to wait at least a week for the nerve block to wear off?

Re: Nerve block taking long time to wear off
How do they give a nerve block? By injecting into the backbone area?
A young guy in his early 30s from South Asia. Implanted Titan 22cm by Dr. Tariq Hakky in Atlanta (Dec 2020). Amazing doctor! No pain during recovery. My size is 5.75” x 4.6” which is better than pre-OP size of 5.6” x 4.5”. Hoping to gain more in future.

Re: Nerve block taking long time to wear off
That seems odd. I had nerve block for my implant on Jan 13, 2020. My legs were still dead in recovery but in a couple of hrs I was moving my feet and legs.
Hope you get better quickly.
