I tried even the results of injections- tried multiple times over several months- were simply not worth the effort.
Billybob, what is your reaction to injections? Any erection at all??Well, it's been a couple of years since I have messed with with pills or injections and/or pumps. So who knows maybe if I had been willing to continue with it longer than that 1st year or so, my results would have been better.
But my results were an almost, but really not quite, usable erection(very close but no cigar) if standing up. Then, if I laid down it would go from barely or almost useful to totally useless- maybe a 2 if 0 is totally flaccid and 6 is barely usable and maybe 10 is a youthful erection. So on that scale I am arbitrarily using, maybe a 5 standing up and a 1 or 2 as soon as I laid down.
I experimented with increasing doses, but it didn't seem to make any useful difference.
I pulled off maybe 2 or 3 successes with my wife, all either with me standing up or once laying down with the aid of a pump and ring on top of the injection. It was a lot of work and very little fun. The orgasms felt anywhere from almost totally lacking in pleasure to leaving me with no sense of release to downright painful, just unpleasant. I know the day of and clearly remember the night of last sexual pleasure: 2 nights before my surgery almost 4 years ago.
But while usable results to injection were really almost non-existent, one thing was very consistent: an aching, cramping pain that would last a couple of hours or more after injection. I had to either lay down or get kicked back in my recliner to get the aches to a tolerable level. Although that may have been becoming a little less severe towards the end. I did, however, have zero pain when I tried Bimix, but I also had a zero to one on a scale of 10 for erections, even if standing up. I think I got that Bimix up to 1 full cc with no results to go with no pain(except for the needle stick anyway)
Also, I am- in retrospect- fairly sure that the Cialis I was spending big bucks on all of this time for- along with injections- "penile rehab" was giving me severe nose bleeds (along with severe heartburn) causing me to end up in the ENT doctors office every few weeks for cauterization. When I decided it all was not worth it and quit all of these efforts at restoration, the nose bleeds stopped and have never returned over 2 years later. Then I researched it and discovered that, indeed, sloughing away of nasal membrane tissue/bleeding was indeed one of the possible SEs. I already knew about
the heartburn issue. I had that during the few months before surgery when I got on Cialis. But since I was having the greatest sex in years, some of the best erections in my life(I was totally amazed) I was willing to put up with the heartburn. I had not yet made the correlation with nose bleeds. But even if I had, the sex was so great I would have probably put up with springing a gusher in the middle of dinner at a nice restaurant, out with friends and family.
So anyway, after about
a year of all of that I just decided there was simply no reward- no pleasure- resulting from all of the hoops I was jumping through and decided to quit all of it, even though sex was always one of my greatest pleasures in my pre-RP life. Fortunately, most guys have better results, some a little better, some a lot. May you be in the latter group.
