Finally the sewlling is 100% gone away and I am so ...

After the surgery both sides were swollen very large. The two together were as large as a regulation softball and the skin stretched very tight.
At two weeks the right side went down, but it is now 3 weeks and left side is still enormous ...

For the first week I was in a fair amount of pain and lived on pain meds for at least 5 days.
I expected the pain, and naturally I expected to wake up and find an empty scrotum. Well the exact opposite occured ...

I am VERY sore and have a fair amount of brusing. It will be OK in a couple days.
My big issue now is how much T do I wsant to take for health reasons.

Re: How much T is enough?????
The Testosterone Doctor said to use is Testosterone Cypionate 200 Mg/ ml
I am NOT reasl familar with it, but I think that means 200 mg per cc which is given every two weeks
So 2 CC every week would be way too much (I think)
My initial thought is to use ZERO testosterone. I will be VERY glad to ...
