Well, I had my yearly PSA Test a little early this time,, normally would have it done in January, but what the heck. I'm happy to say it came back with another zero! This is my seven year test, so...

Jeff, what everyone said is correct,,, shave a little bit down there and make sure you put some of that jelly on the end of the tube where the ring goes as well as on the black rubber part. That...
Thanks Jeff, I did find the Augusta Pump new on ebay for $89.00 and it arrived this past Saturday. I tried it out on Sunday and it worked really good. Even though the set of rings look small, they...
Steve, that does look the same as the one on ebay at $89.00. It is the OTC variety....
Thanks to everyone's kind words on my 5 year PSA score. I'm still researching the Augusta Medical vacuum pump. There are two versions, one sells for $495 and comes with a 90 day money back guarantee...
Does anybody have any experience with the Augusta Medical vacuum pump for ED? I've used the Osbon Erectaid for some time now but it's cumbersome etc. I'm thinking this Augusta Medical may be the...
James, haven't tried the penile injections or Muse at this point. I guess that may come next. I'll look at the vacuum device that you are using. Certainly it is better priced. This board means a lot...
Just had my six month PSA test done up at UVA Medical Center. Good news again,,, not detectable!!!! So, i've reached the 5 year mark and will now only have to go once a year for PSA testing. It's...

Here's my take on all three: Cialis - my surgeon put me on this first - extreme lower back pain, mild flushing, little results Viagra - face flushing, stuffy nose, some results Levitra - face...
DaVinci Surgery - University of Virginia Medical Center - beautiful Charlottesville, Virginia...
James C. - I looked at that link that you sent me on Caverject and I guess it just may be how you interpret the Caverject findings. It said that there were Local Adverse Reactions in ≥1% of Patients...
I had my meeting with the Surgeon about using some type of injection for ED. I was surprised that he was totally against Bimix or Trimix. He said that he would only recommend Caverject and asked if I...
I have heard that this is true. I've tried Viagra and now will be using Levitra. Axe...
I'll be discussing the use of injection with my Surgeon next Tuesday. Going in for my 3 year checkup at that point. Cialis and Viagra have not done much for me except give me a back ache or head...
2.8 years for me since surgery. PSA's undectable. Axe...
Hey Cedar Chopper, I play guitar both bass and rhythm. It's a great hobby now, was in lot's of groups in the past 40 years. As far as the bike riding. I'm 2.5 years since the operation. I rode some...
Didn't Bluebird or someone say to stay away from Bike riding? I'm thinking of taking it up again. Any thoughts from the masses? Thanks folks! Axe...
I'm using Poise Regular,,, seems I'm the only one, maybe I should switch? Anyway, just for insurance, not much leaking anymore. Axe...
Hey Denny2, i'm about 2.5 years since the operation. I'd like to be able to tell you that everything is fine, but it's still lacking in that department. I've tried Cialis and am now on Viagra....
It's been 2.4 years since my surgery. I still wear a Poise regular pad each day "just in case." Not much leakage but certainly a teaspoon amount is always possible. I've had a few embarrassing...
Hey 56, i'm a guitar player as well. Not lugging any amps at present but may get into a country band or something. Just recently got my first Telecaster. Now I need a Vibrolux and i'm all set. My...
No tests after the biopsy. Axe...
Hey guys, as I have posted before, it's been over two years since my surgery. Erections were very slow in coming back for the first year and then gradually with the help of the pump. Tried Cialis...
I used Cialis for over a year with no results other then severe lower back pain. I now use Viagra with the Osbon Erectaid pump and results have been much better. Only flushing in the face with the...
"There is sex after PC" It's been almost two years since my DaVinci surgery. The next 18 months of ED therapy was trial and error on Cialis, which gave me a back ache and little other results. I...
I went round and round with Blue Cross of California about this. Their plan is through Wellpoint Pharmacy. My Doctor had to send them an Authorization letter. They finally agreed to provide 6 pills...
I bought the Osbon ErecAid off of eBay for about $175 about 8 months ago. It works fine and does what it is advertised to do just great. It is available on eBay, brand new, for $189 to $208 plus...
I'm still taking Viagra, but have had better success with the Osbon Vacuum pump. I found it on eBay, brand new, at a reasonable price. Ive read about the injections but would be a little nervous...
In my case back in 2005 the DaVinci surgery costs about $24,000, however, once you add everything up, it could be around $40,000. There is a great surgeon at University of Virginia in...
Mike, just hang in there. Since you are only since August, just keep trying and I think you'll get results as you move forward. I've found that when the pump is used correctly, the stars are in...
I had posted this on another thread but thought it may help! I had the DaVinci in January, 2005. Everything went very well and all PSA's have been at 0.00 since, which is the main thing to consider....
Hey 1mikec - here is a reply for you after 22 months. I had the DaVinci in January, 2005. Everything went very well and all PSA's have been at 0.00 since, which is the main thing to consider. My Doc...
My Dr. started me on Cialis about 20 months ago. I took a pill about 2 times a week. Not much worked except it gave me a terrific back ache, so I stopped taking them for a good while. I bought the...
I just recently found this forum, so thought I would respond. Wish I had found it sooner. I had the DaVinci surgery in January, 2005. Catheter out in about 8 days. Lot's of leakage, no blood in...
