Painful Erection

I'm on week 5 now post circumcision and I still feel some pain at the base of my penis when I erect. The swelling haven't gone down much but the scars have dried out. Did anyone go through the same experience or do I need to consult a doctor?

The swelling you have is quite normal and the pain might be from that. If you are worried, please speak to your doctor.

Thank you bro. I thought the same thing too but wasn't sure. Perhaps I should give it a little more time as it is still early days.

Sounds sensible.

I forgot one thing, because of that I had discribed I can't wear a tight underwear because it makes the pain worse and uncomfortable to walk. The doctor had advised me to let hang loose while I'm home which feels better because I can walk properly and get things done. But from what I've read on the net, tight underwear helps with swelling so I'm kind of perplexed of what I should do.
