I have been lurking on this board for a year now, reading from the gold mine of knowledge stored in the posts and I have finally joined the party.
This place is the only place to get the straight story on ED, injections etc.
I am about 14 months past robotic prostate surgery. I had a gleason 9 and the surgeon was only able to leave "half a nerve"
I have been using injections since February 2010, first alprostadil, then switching to trimix in April 2010.
I have been slowly able to reduce my dosage over the past 9 months from 0.20 to 0.10 cc (at one point getting hard with 0.08)
Over the last 4 months I have been getting nocturnal erections! That gives me hope that someday my "half a nerve" will be enough with Viagra,Levitra,Cialis but I'm not there yet.

Welcome Trimixboy,
I am a fellow Prostate Cancer Survivor.
By joining Frank Talk you have become a member of a brotherhood of great guys who will always be here for you and who have all walked in your shoes while battling ED.
First, I would suggest you see a Urologist who specializes in the treatment of male sexual dysfunction.
He will probably run a Doppler Test to check if there is sufficient blood flow to your penis.
The two main causes of ED are insufficient blood flow (arterial insufficiency) and venous leakage.
I think that the best way for me to provide you with some info about ED is to share the story of my battle with ED.
I developed ED Post-Prostatectomy in February 2004 at age 65 and had never experienced any problem prior to that.
Viagra, Cialis, etc. did not work for me.
After much research and having the opportunity to speak with 2 men who underwent the Coloplast Titan Penile Implant Procedure, I had my Titan Implant Procedure December 13, 2007.
The Titan Penile Implant completely corrected my ED and restored both my sex life and the emotional intimacy with my wife of 45 years.
I became a Coloplast Patient Educator in January 2008 in order to share my Pre-Implant and Post-Implant experiences with men still suffering from ED and its devastating side effects.
I just celebrated the Fourth Anniversary of my Titan Implant December 13th and my wife and I could not be happier with it.
The FT Group has a bunch of great guys who are always willing to reach out to other men suffering with ED.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or just want to talk.
Bob

Hi. I am a 49 yr old male with ED due to severe health issues and the side effects of the meds I take I am willing to hear any advice you guys can tell me. I have wanted someone to talk about this since I was duagnosised. I take cialis 20 mgs with great results but I just want someone to talk with openly about all of it. I would appreciate as many friends as possible. Me and my penis seeks all the info you can share especially with the emotional effects and finding the meds cheaper

Scott, you've come to the right place. My advice is that you read some of the forums, esp those regarding the various remedies: pills, pumps, shots, and implants. Also, don't hesitate to post your own questions. What, specifically, would you like to know or discuss? I assure you that the guys here are conversant on just about everything that relates to limp dicks. Finally, come join us in the Chat Room. It can get rowdy in there, but it's always enlightening. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
