Four days ago I began to achieve full erections since my Robotic last October. I celebrated by chasing my wife down and showing her my new friend. Ahhhh...it was a sight to behold! And I was really beginning to get concerned that Woody has seen his last days.

Here's my question: After a couple of "Show and Tell" sessions, I began to feel a sensation as if my bladder was full - somewhat discomforting. It lasted through the night. Not painful...just a dull soreness. I woke up this morning without discomfort. After another "session", I began to feel it again.

Any help is appreciated!

I can't personally address the pain and discomfort issue, but I wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on the return of your friend Woody.

My surgery was in Sept 2009 and I am really seeing improvement that is soooo close to being useable.

You seem really ahead of the curve on recovery. Again congratulations and ENJOY.

Alegar,

I have discomfort as well, but it's not quite the same. After the "event", I have a feeling like something is pulling on my bladder. Not pleasant, but not terrible either.

This is different from what I used to feel. Before, when I got past about 95% full length, there was sharp pain in the woody itself. Talk about mixed blessing.

Thanks, fellas!

Yeah, your description is better: like something pulling on my bladder. I haven't had the pain in my penis, however. I notice that the pain/discomfort goes away after several hours.

First of all, Call your doctor and ask. He can't treat you if he doesn't know what is going on.

If I had to make a non-MD guess (at this point you are stupid if you read any further) I would suspect that you are still healing from major surgery and your pains are related to that

Please consider starting a kegel exercise program with the Dr's approval. I am 6 yr's from surgery and still do about 100 3/days a week.  Noticeable results can take at least 8 weeks to show.  Those muscles are deep and wet.  They take a long time to heal. Kegels are good for both bowel control and erections.
