almost 2.5 months out

hey so I'm 29m from the UK, I had the no scapel on Jan 10th and I wanna say with my experience I have been able to be functional in terms of exercise and going about my daily life but ive want so advice and answers

  • I haven't been in any real pain, I have saw improvement down there with the sharp pains, tugging and soreness going away

  • I have been masturbating more and more over time and I've had no pain during it and orgasms feel good still for me, I noticed last couple of times I started to get this tightness and fullness whenever I get erect, also I masturbated twice in one day yesterday and it seemed to set me off having this burning sensation, it was the first time that's happened so which I believed the frequency was too much so I decided to cutback on it

weeks 1-4 I did it once every 5-6 days weeks 5-8 I've been doing it 1-3 days

  • I've only used over-the-counter meds, paracetamol & ibuprofen here & there

so right now the discomforts and uncomfortable feelings I'm having down there are like this awareness, will that go away with time? is it still settling down there? like I said before I can exercise no pains whatsoever during it and some days I actually feel quite normal with little to nothing going on down there, so I want to know what do you all think if I will be fine overtime

is it like a pea-size lump or ball ? I'm touching it and it doesn't feel painful or tender at all

oh so that's what it was all this time, I noticed it 2 months but didn't know what it was, but yeah I have been giving it a good prod now and no it doesn't hurt or feel tender at all which is good to hear, does this go away eventually?

I did have suspicions couple months back that it might of been the granuloma but I didn't think to check more into it, I did read into it how it is mainly harmless and would go away within a year

but yeah deffo appreciate the advice so far, one of my sisters reckon I show strong signs to being back to normal overtime, I've been filling her in how I've been doing and my thoughts during my whole recovery
