I had an inflatable but like you the recovery takes a while. The first week I didn't think I would ever be able to put clothes on again. The second week I didn't think I would ever be able to poop without bending myself into strange shapes. The third week I realised things were getting better. Each week things improved. I am sure they will for you too. It sounds like you're generally quite positive, which I think helps the body to heal more than people realise.
Thank you siltmonkey, I really appreciate it man! It’s a relief to hear I’m not alone in the recovery woes. I’m generally a positive person but I’m also a notoriously anxious person - so as you can imagine, I’m hyper sensitive right now of every little thing going on.
My hope is that slowly but surely, the implant just feels like a part of me. Right now, ironically, I really don’t notice the implant AT ALL because I’m so focused on the soreness / edema / swelling, etc. But I’m sure as soon as those things resolve, the next chapter will be “how do I get used to this medical device INSIDE MY PENIS”
But today, every so often, I pause and am reminded of the idea that in the near future, I could potentially be having sex again without fear of ED. Makes all this worth it.
ED since high school. Pills always hit or miss, mostly ineffective. Finally diagnosed with venous leak in early September 2025.
