Recovery is very fast from a penile frenulectomy but you may be having higher expectations for that than you should. I'd say at least 3 to 4 days before it isn't going to be painful and maybe a whole week. You are supposed to stretch to clean it but you do so very gently. There is often swelling involved and this is why it is harder. Go easy on yourself. Also, anything strange? Check in with the doctor who performed the procedure right away. I would give yourself two weeks of being like a patient. Being gentle, going easy on yourself, don't strain.
