The main reason I went on about it is because there are guys that are ready to go at 6 weeks! Or 6 months! For those of us that don't emerge from the recovery room like a rock star, hang on. I think...
Guys (and ladies on the forum). I want my journey with post RP ED to serve as encouragement rather than discouragement. Here's the upshot: as hard (no pun intended) as it is to be patient, please do....
I've developed some recent symptoms of PD, but they seem to be relatively mild. Was due to see my ED specialist, so I'm going Monday and will provide report. Won't go through while story regarding...
Oooookay. Fortunately, just did it a while ago and may be able to correct - didn't think about the physics of it. Will definitely put them needle up as they're in a plastic container. I also have a...
Hopefully this is a quick one. Just put several syringes of Trimix 5 in the freezer. I've seen comments all over the map on this, but how long will the compound be effective in the freezer without...
Hey Halbert. DON'T WORRY! Everyone's experience is different. Read through some stories because you'll find some guys that get erections almost as soon as the catheter is removed (maybe a tad...
I've been in similar situation, and right now I'm on bit of a roller coaster. In less than a week, I'll be 2 yrs post RP and about your age. Had good erections pre-op with Viagra (viagra was...
Thanks gentlemen. Thanks for the support and I pray for erections for all by any means possible. I sympathize with those similarly positioned. I've tried to compartmentalize the ED part of my life,...
Thanks. I've waited this long, I can wait a few more days. Just kind of freaked me out because I thought I was headed in right direction. Thanks everyone. Sorry for TMI, but marriage is in shambles...
Was offered AS, but at 52 at time of DX, would have not outlived the cancer. The estimate after biopsy was 80% nerve sparing on one side and 100% on the other. It was obvious those numbers would not...
Need some input on this. Almost 2yrs. out from RP. Trouble with ED whole time, but within past couple months have been getting to 90% erection with stimulation (no willing partner right now), and...
Hey guys. I've used the pump since possible after recovering from surgery in 1/13. Use it about every other day. The pump is to keep the penile tissue elastic and sustain as much length as possible....
Thanks for the good stories. That's encouraging. I just don't even want to think of penile implant. Scares the heck out of me, but this is really getting old - physically, emotionally,...
I'm 54 and 21 months from RP and still have ED. Bilateral nerve sparing surgery was successful, so docs are not sure why I haven't returned to erections (with Viagra as prior to RP). The down and...
Those rings are absolutely medieval! Tried those once and only once. Pump does not give me full erection. Trying to get to correct trimix dosage, but at 20 units, only semi-erect....
The short story is I'm now 21.5 mos. post RP and am not getting usable erections. I had bilateral nerve sparing surgery, have not had many opportunities to "use" my non-usable erections, and needless...
Thanks for the encouraging words. One step forward and two back, but still trying. Plan to tap all resources at this point. Thanks for everything....
After 19 yrs. of marriage, 15 of which have been struggling with BP I (diagnosed only about 3-4 yrs. ago), my wife has nothing but contempt in her voice. I was hypomanic my entire life and medicated...
Thanks so much....
Yes, thanks, I use the pump to stretch penile tissue, but I've had zero success getting a usable erection. Plump, yes. Sufficient for intercourse, no. Those d... Rubber rings are freakin mideival! I...
Thanks for words of encouragement. Patience is a virtue, huh? Yeah, I still feel like I'll get there, I just don't like the thought of "use it or loose it", you know? Gonna do,injections a little...
I am very young (53) and still have ED 14 mos. post-op. Obviously, even after being very optimistic time would do the trick since both nerves were spared, I'm getting concerned. Here's my deal: Can...
You are way ahead of the game only having surgery in August. That's great. I would check with your uro. Mine is classified as 15 "units" and I'm not sure how that translates to ml. Instructions are...
Yeah. Took about 2 hrs for erection after minimum dosage to subside after " being all over myself - couldn't keep myself from me - no way I was going to waste erection after a year of none!! Put on...
Alrighty!! Anyone who's read my past posts about my aversion to trimix injections. Had a horrible experience on my first injection session at clinic, and even my wife who witnessed it said she...
Going for first injection in 30 mins. A few remaining questions: Do you shake vial before drawing up? Do you sit or stand when injecting (don't want to pass out!!)? Do you let entire vial get room...
I won't belabor prior explanations, but suffice it to say I had a horrible clinical session for my first trimix injection and have had an aversion to going to the needle since. Coming up on a year...
Thanks much. Great to hear a good word. Gotta do it - just gotta do it. Also gentlemen - have the injections served to "jump start" you for normal erections? It's difficult to assume a lifetime of...
I posted almost 6 mos. ago about hearing about, then trying to get scrip for trimix gel. It is not a topical gel but is inserted into the urethra with an applicator, massaged in, and then see what...
I've tried it twice. 30& erection first time, 50% erection second time. Definitely increased blood flow but not enough for penetration. Seems to be going in right direction though (up). I do know the...
Good Lord, that one goes down the urethra quite a ways - ouch to that one too. There's just no great answer here. Just when you think all your dignity is gone from PC, I sink further. I am...
Thank you and bless you. I'll keep researching. Thanks for advancing my cause....
Isnt Muse an injectable? That's what I was trying to avoid otherwise I'll just go to Trimix. Trimix is covered by my insurance. Thanks. I'll take all the ideas I can. I appreciate you posting....
Thanks for the info. This is frustrating for sure. Couple of things - 1) the info on the Internet is very sketchy. For instance, the info on the net references the one, small, junk science study from...
Tried 'em. In fact, I was referred to them (won't mention docs' names). They initially said no, but I have someone double-checking. Thank you for the help. This is not an easy one and I can't for the...
I live in Houston TX, home of the largest medical complex in the world with numerous medical schools, MD Anderson, and over 13 hospitals. Medical Center in Houston is larger than downtown Dallas - it...
Hey, I will literally try anything before a needle in little Elvis. I admire all the guys who say it's no big deal, and I know for a fact I was not injected properly on my doc visit, but if it works,...
Oh my Lord! Please tell me this isn't a joke. I am emailing my urologist right now. Is it effective? I posted earlier that I had gone to my first trimix injection "training session" with my wife in...
Thanks guys (and lady!). I'm not ruling the injections out, I just feel like taking this one last step before taking the plunge. Thanks for the info and, yes, I do think the tech went medieval on me...
All three types of pain - came off the table upon injection (wife was watching and said the male nurse took a good stab), pain of injection (every bit of fluid hurt), and pain afterward although not...
I am 8 mos. post-surgery and 100% ED. Have used Cialis since surgery with no effect, so I recently went for a follow up where they injected Trimix and did a doppler. Doppler was "good" said the doc,...
Thanks. Yes, I tried the rings ONCE and only once. I may not have used it properly, but it snapped on and nearly killed me. They are just too medieval for me - can't go there. Just read about...
Okay - stupid question but one I haven't seen answered on forum. Exactly WHERE do you inject this? Base, shaft, where?...
Anybody subscribe to Dr. Geo's blog? He is a very well-respected urologist and nutritionist. Here's his take on it for what it's worth:...
Never thought I'd be on the forum at 6 mos post-surgery with ED, but here I am. I've been using the pump almost every day along with 20mg Ciallis twice weekly. I've really not obsessed about it...
Three and a half mos post robotic DA Vinci. Use pump one a day but still have ED. I know it can take a while, but I'm only 52 and wife is starting to wonder about me. Does anyone pump twice daily?...
Thanks very much....
No - no problems whatsoever. Just distinctive, consistent smell. Weird....
I have had high liver enzymes for many yrs, even before uc diagnosis, but my int med doc and gastro doc have never blinked because my baseline is high and they have not gone much higher. Are yours...
This may sound crazy, but my urine has a very distinct smell since surgery in January '13. No matter what I eat or drink (besides asparagus of course), my urine always smells the same and it is very...
