Being able to try at that time frame is amazing-good first try I'd say.I am sure the pain is from the internal areas that have yet to fully heal.Wish you both success on your next try.Hope you will...

When does the Doc say you will be able to try out the implant with your wife?Or does he leave that up to when you feel it's OK to do so?Is the draining any better now? Nick...

Thanx everyone for the replies-I am feeling encouraged to try the MUSE-and if necessary the Trimix .It looks as tho penile rehab doesn't exist in Canada.Sometimes I get the feeling that they want us...
