Pain and soreness

So I went from thinking I was going to have a fast recovery and got off the hard meds early even, nearly pain free and almost forgetting I had an implant on day 11 to now day 14 having the worse pain of it all and extreme soreness. Haven't slept in two nights and finally asked for a refill on the scripts. Entire penis and ball sack are just extremely sore like I've had a boner for three days straight and been kicked in the balls by a UFC fighter. This is normal right?

Also the stitches are starting to come out or the protective covering is coming off and there's some yellow/orange spots that don't look to great...normal??

You need to be seen by your doctor.

Not normal for me I went back to work on day 13.

I've been back to work since day 7. And was nearly pain free and feeling amazing ready to use it, then all of a sudden (gabapentin ran out) this major soreness and sensitivity came on. I swore prior to the implant people on here said that the weeks 2-4 are the hardest/most painful due to soreness. And that it gets worse before better..:

I wish you guys wouldn't throw that 4 letter word around so much. Yes, work is 4 letters.

I agree, you need to see a doctor, preferably your implant surgeon to make sure you don't have an infection developing. If so, the sooner you get on antibiotics the better.

Best of luck!

Anyone have any pictures they could share of what their scrotal incision/stitches looked like 1-3 weeks after the surgery? Do mine look normal besides color?

Spanish, who was your surgeon? What precautions did he or she take to prevent an infection? Did you use Hibiclens prior to surgery? I hate to say it, but it looks like an infection. I've never read anything that says antibiotics work to clear an infection. The implant has to be removed and a malleable inserted until the infection is gone.

I was implanted on the 13th, which was 2 days after you, and my stitches don't look like that at all. They are black and clean. Can post pic later if you want. But I agree with others that you should be seen by a doc ASAP to make sure you don't have an infection and, if you do, to treat it. Can you send a picture to your surgeon? Otherwise I would personally hop to your local ER and tell them you had surgery recently and have pain from a suspected infection. They should see you quickly.
