Re: New Doctor MA

Sorry, I haven't been on the board in a while. If you're still looking for a recommendation, I suggest Men's Health Boston in Brookline. I know it's a bit of a haul from Worcester (I live in Westborough), but they are an extremely competetent and forward thinking outfit. Great group of people.

Re: Testosterone

podreest, I am on Testopel injections. Little pellets injected every 6 months. They have improved every part of my life. +1. I've been upon Testopel for almost two years and it has significantly made a difference. I have higher energy levels, better mental focus, and just feel more like I used to. ...

Re: How many pumps plus 2-piece vs. 3-piece implants

The only 2 piece that I'm aware of is the AMS Ambicor, which is what I have. Here is the thread that I started to discuss it: http://www.franktalk.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=717&hilit=ambicor#p4544 One of the posts discusses pumping. From my experience, the Ambicor pumps up in a maximum ...

Re: Is this all worth it?

I'll add my $0.02 here, as well. For me it was definitely worth it. From reading the forum, it's clear that there are no guarantees, but the odds of success are favorable. For many, being able to function again is invaluable.

Re: AMS Ambicor 2-piece

I've been extremely tardy in posting a status update, and it's now 8+ weeks since my implant, so I think I'm at a good point report results and give an assessment. As I indicated in earlier posts, my surgery and early recovery went pretty well -- certainly on the easier end of the spectrum compared ...

Re: Discomfort of pump in scrotum?

Everyone's experience on this is different, but here's mine thusfar... I was very aware of the pump and while it wasn't painful, it was uncomfortable at first. I had to be careful sitting down. But now, I'm just 4 weeks post-op as of tomorrow, and I'm feeling quite normal down there. Things seem to ...

Re: A question about testerone levels

ONe reason docs are sometimes reluctant to prescribe testosterone treatment for men is that prostate cancer cells feed on testosterone. Just saying. When T levels are "low but still within the range of normal", T therapy may just be too risky, especially if the patient has ever had even s...

Re: Became Bionic Today

Congratulations, and I must say that I'm impressed that you're online and posting the same day as the operation. I spent a night in the hospital for mine and really needed the recovery time (probably mostly due to the anesthesia).

Hope you have a speedy recovery.
