I have had my AMS 700 LGX now for six years. When I first started using it I could only pump about 8 to 10 times before the aching got to me. Over time that improved a lot and I increased the number of pumps up to about 18 to 20. In the last six months the aching at the 18 to 20 pumps has gone away ...

I am also a Dr. Milam patient and as Jack had the pubic approach. When I questioned Dr. Milam about this as what I had seen on a few Internet sites the scrotal approach was used he said it was primarily to allow him to be able to place the resevoir easier. As Jack said I can hardly see my scar and c...

I have also been looking for a good position. In our case a pillow under her butt and me standing on the floor and her on the side of the bed works good for us. Our bed is the right height for that position. We are also going to buy a penis extension and give it a try. I believe it will help keep me...

As with Mike I also had an implant done by Dr. Doug Milam. Dr. Milam is associated with Vanderbilt University Medical Center. They have done a lot to address the pain associated with a penile implant. If you are using someone else be sure to ask them about what they do for the pain. You need to know...

I cannot tell from your post whether or not you are using injections now. If not then you certainly should try them before jumping to an implant. The determination of whether or not you are a candidate for an implant should be made by a urologist who has done many implants and perhaps some with the ...

Marvin, I am almost three months post penile implant. I have always worn briefs and and actually wear what are called rugged briefs by Fruit of the Loom. I found them at a Gander Mountain a couple of years ago. My post op experience was good after the first five days. I quickly became pain free afte...

Marvin, JackP has offered up some good suggestions. Similar to JackP I had my implant done at Vanderbilt on December 17th last year. It was activated a week ago and I have been pumping it up twice a day and holding for several minutes. How much it hurts when pumping depends on how hard you pump it. ...

Just got back from Vanderbilt and had my implant activated. The PA pumped it up and deflated it once and then had me do it three times. I am very pleased with the result. He measured my length and it was right at 5 inches. He said this is more then most first time activations. The girth was not meas...

PK Man, You are not injecting into a vein so the air is not a big concern as long as it is not a lot of air. When filling the syringe be sure to fill it more then the dosage you plan to use. Turn the syringe upside down and flick it with you finger to make the air bubbles go to the top and then push...
