Hi does anyone use the pump for ED and what were the results?
I have tried with Ciallis for 7 months but only a 10% result!

You should try out Trimix injections.

With the pump you have to use the ring to cut off circulation to help keep it up... Less then perfect way to go about things.

I’m seeing an ED specialist, who says that vacuum devices do not bring much fresh blood into the penis and therefore the oxygen content is not very high, and as a result the VED does not do a very good job of rehabilitation.  His opinion is it’s ok to use a pump in conjunction with pills and/or injections; just not as the only method of treatment.  However, he has not advised me to use one and I never have, so no experience to relay to you there. 

 

Trimix has been fantastic.  I was only getting 50% from Viagra early on, then I started Trimix injections and once I got the dose right for me – I have been getting 100%. 

I currently use both Trimix and Viagra ( nono but not at the same time  skull )

 

Good luck

It's been 19 months since my surgery (I'm now 64).  I began trying the pump within a few months after surgery.  It did nothing.... I mean NOTHING toward rehab.  I gave up on that costly, worthless thing.  Then I tried Viagra and Cialis, also with no results.  Then I tried Viagra and Cialis with the pump - nothing.  I finally decided to let my desire override my fear and try Trimix injections.  Yesterday was my first attempt.  Wow!  I thought my sex life was over and that my wife, who is 10-years younger than me - was being cheated out an essential life function.  Wrong!  First, I had no pain with the self-injected Trimix (my Uro said to give it an hour to get to room temp before injecting).  Second, my fear of giving myself an injection - and down there - was an unfounded fear.  Third, the results were phenomenal!  I've read on these forums that some guys use the pump in conjunction with Trimix for rehab.  I'll probably do that in hopes of being able to scrap both in the future.  For now, I'm scraping the pump for it's supposed success in offering a satisfying sexual experience while doing rehab.  It doesn't mad !

I'm still in the "no-way-in-hell-could-i-give-my-self-an-injection-in-the-penis" group.

Even though 99% of my HW brothers say it's no big deal, I still can't wrap my head around that.

Next Uro appt is in 4 months, I'll have to see where my head is then.

To date I have tried cialis (30 and 5) viagra, levitra, and staxyn, along with the pump.  I also stimulate regularly in an attempt to keep the blood flowing (2-3 times a day, usually to 60-70 % erect)

I have had about 25% success with Levitra (i.e. 25% of the time I was erect enough for penetration, although not the wood that I had previously).  I found that an empty stomach (I mean empty, like first thing in the morning) makes the pills work better.

I am 8 months out, and am hopeful that things are still improving, and mybe I can get to a point of 'natural' erections, or to a point that the pills work 100%.
