Anyone have ED improve after 2 years?

Yes, I have seen improvement to the point of having useable equipment without any aids.

I celebrated my 2 yr anniversary on September 17th and have to say that I am about 90-95% recovered. Most of the progress was seen in the last 6 months. I could have been a little more diligent with rehab, by using the pump more often and taking the daily dosages of pills, but I did not.

I had too many side effects from the pills to take them daily. I think that one of the things that slowed me down was my wife's cancer. Even if I had useable equipment, she was not able to participate. So in these last two years I have just kinda, sorta, worked on it. Just didn't have the same urgency as most of the other brothers.

But it's back and it's nice.

I am interested in this question because at 3 + years I have recently started injection therapy. Bimix first, and a few weeks ago, trimix, with good results. The best I could manage with pills, usually Cialis, was about an 80% erection which was insufficient for intercourse. Now with the right dose and technique I have better than pre surgery. But possibly the best news is that I am seeing and feeling physiological changes in the penis. The erectile tissue is bulking up for the full length where previously it lacked rigidity in that top 25% nearest the tip. I am hopeful that within a few months I might be able to successfully try the pills again.

I am surprised at the lack of (local) knowledge by the medical and therapy specialists in the subject of rejuvenation. My therapist can't answer whether injections can lead to rejuvenation of the tissue. My capitulation to injections (was unthinkable to me 3 years ago) is now no big deal and more than that a source of great hope for some normality of sexual relations.

Robert Mulhall MD at Memorial Sloan Kettering has an excellent video on that site on the subject, I think you should have a look, it helped me. Good luck in your fight back, and it is a battle.

Reachout,

After 32 months I can count on one finger the amount of times I have had a definite morning wood. It came along, said Howdy, and has never really come back (that was a year ago). Started Trimix 6 months ago, plus have been doing my Soon To Be Patented 'Diluted MUSE' method (see Franktalk.org for details). I do notice sometimes that when I am preparing a Trimix shot or MUSE sploosh that things start to get a little tumescent in anticipation. I suppose that is a good sign. Can't say that continual use of Tri or MUSE have moved things along -- maybe started Tri too late??

I have mentioned/speculated in the past that the size of Prostate on removal might have a bearing on not getting back erections. The larger the prostate, the worse chance. Mine was 110 grams. A few others in the >70 gram range also have had no luck. A tiny sample to be sure, but we just have to get a national study funded and we'll know for sure. (Large prostate means more challenge saving the nerves and blood vessels in the area -- plus prior pressing of prostate on nerves can cause long term damage to them even if prostate is never removed (BPH symptom).

Reachout,
I had RT as primary treatment along with two years of HT. about three months after completing the HT I began to get a familiar stirring. I did not use any drugs but did try a vacuum device. Quality of erection was about the same with or without the device. As my T levels improved so did the erection. Since returning to HT the erections have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Not really a problem since I do not have a partner.

At 39 months trimix has revealed that I still have libido and that this is a factor in the erection. I have also after several successful trimix encounters found that there is an "anticipation" reaction prior to injecting, as though it provides self belief. I am also almost certain that the filling (to almost bursting!) of the spongey tissue that some physical improvement has already taken place in this tissue. Taking a pee has become a distinctly different event and not such a search for the shrimp! Hope you are encouraged because I haven't given up.
