Kipper , I tried all the FDA approved stuff , nothing , just a waste of money . I guess I'm kind of slow , took me almost three years to try injections ........very very happy . Read some of my posts on my success .

Good luck

Sorry to say if you haven't had an erection by now ... it's doubtful that you will naturally ... Ask your URO about Injections ... most will give you a test shot in the office. Injections work for about 80% of guys ... while at the URO office ask about VED (vacuum pump). Most Insurance companies will pay for the VED but not the Injections.

Keep us posted of your progress ...

If the pump doesn't go over too well with your significant other and the injections become ineffective or too much of a bother you can go to the final option, an implant. They have a better than 90% satisfaction rate, but are not something to jump into until the other routes have been tried.

If the pills haven't worked after 12 months, you will need, the pump, injections, or an implant. Sorry for the bad news but that is how things go.
