Unfortunately yes. It drove me crazy but you still have stitches and there is healing going on inside so best to follow your doc's advice and leave it alone. I feel your pain man

I'm just under 4 weeks myself and it's killing me not being able to do anything. If it makes you feel any better, there's a lot of people out there in the same position, we got this!

mine is still pretty bad after 5 weeks so cant even think of sex / masturbation. In between it seemed the friction and pain reduced for a couple of days but it was back. Just have to wait it out

Yes, experienced almost exactly the same. Had a minor issue with my stitches in week 2-3 that added a few weeks to the 'no sex, no self love' timeline. Ultimately, the general recommendation is to not do any of that stuff for 6-8 weeks necessary. I waiting until around weeks 7-8 to do anything and felt like I was more ready to do it with added healing time. Less chance of disturbing healing tissue, less chance of irritation, less chance of having to wait longer, etc. You got this, bro. Vent here if needs be.
