Pain Level after implant surgery

Postby HEMAN99 » Mon Sep 11, 2017 12:52 pm

Guys,

Can some one explain how was the pain immediately after the surgery? What was the pain like ? Does it hurt more than a hair line fracture? Can some actually describe their pain experience for the first 24 hrs, 48hrs, 72 hrs?

Is the pain constantly high right after surgery??

For me there was little pain either time I had implant surgery. The first time did require some pain meds during the night as I developed a burning pain in the bladder area off and on. That morning I traced the problem to a nursing error. They had my catheter routed over my be rail causing the catheter to back up during the night until they emptied the tube and bag when they came in with the pain meds. Used nothing for pain when I went home the next day and through out the rest of recover.

Second time (revision), no pain meds. The catheter hose was routed correctly and I had no more than mild discomfort the whole time. So no pains meds the whole time.

Warning: This is on the extreme side of the low pain curve and is not to be expected as routine. It can give you a data point of how good it can be, others can tell how bad it can get. Either way it shouldn't be unbearable.

Yes there will be pain how much is entirely a call your body makes. I took pain meds right after to stay ahead of the pain cycle which is important to do. I went to Tylonol very shortly after that, but still have some pain meds if I have a very bad day. You have to remember that they have operated on the most sensitive part of your body plus they put something in your adnomial area. The surgery is fairly brutal. Dilate in this case means remove tissue not just make bigger
Depending on the procedure the dr used either you going to have stitches all thevvway around the shaft (mine) you nut sack would have been cut open or the pubic area cut. You have forigen object in your body, you body will try to make them go away. You will have senstive area. If done right the tips of the cyclinder will be in the head of your dick. You body heals from inside out.

To answer you comparison question when the circular saw ran across the tip of my finger to the bone it hurt like hell, all my othet surgeries hurt. Each part of the body isca little differant as we age thinks hurt differently and heal differently than when we younger

Skill of surgeon and just plain (good or bad) luck. My first implant hurt like hell..... For months..... Second implant.... Extra strength Tylenol..... Third implant..... Tylenol again..... Dr Perito kept me in the hospital overnight both times. I expected a night of hell each time but it wasn't too bad. Skill of surgeon, again..... Good luck

I had my implant on Thursday Sept. 7, for me It was painful when I Moved , the worst day the 2nd day after surgery. It was a burning pain in the Scrotum area, today the 4th day is much better, and as each day passes, the pain level is less. Ice helps soothes the burning pain.

Yeah me too. They drugged me up pretty good at the hospital. The pain wasn't an excruciating pain, at least it wasn't for me. More of discomfort thing. And the script the doctor wrote, handled that just fine. I was expecting a lot more pain.

My surgery was on Friday. Immediately after surgery I felt very little pain due to the spinal block. Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday were very painful. I was really questioning if I had made the right decision, and wondered how I will ever get through a revision. By Monday I removed the catheter, and I had a decent bowel movement. This made things so much better. I saw significant improvements on Monday and Tuesday. Today (5 days later) I am not even using painkillers. I am only feeling a slight discomfort in my balls and discomfort in the shaft from the partial erection. I am confident I made the right decision, and I am sure a revision (hopefully many years from now) will not be a big deal.
