3+ Weeks Post Op in Northern Virginia
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 1:19 pm
Greetings everyone. I came across this website after doing a search late last summer for forums that speak to the issue of ED and especially penile implants.
I am a 65 y/o very fit single guy and recent implantee ( AMS 700 LGX MS - 01/31/13 ).
My ED began in late 2010. The cause is debatable but was likely spinal injury as a result of a degenerated disk (C3-C4). In June of 2011 I was diagnosed with Pc and after research and consultation with my Oncologist, I decided that Brachytherapy was to be my preferred treatment. Had the seed implants in July and that resulted in serious ED issues. I had used all the PD-5 inhibitors to failure, then moved on to Bi-mix/Trimix (4 different formulas) until that too failed to produce the desired results. I might add that I personally experienced significant pain with the injections both at the injection site and a dull throbbing after ejaculation that required copious amounts of ibuprofen to relieve.
Had the procedure done at Walter Reed in Bethesda. My pre surgery length was 6.5 inches - (7” with VED) after surgery I was 5 in BPL. While I wouldn’t describe my recovery as a “cake walk”, I certainly haven’t had the difficulty that others have written about here. I had the surgery on a Thursday, was released from the hospital on Friday and on Sunday walked about a half mile and drove to the grocery store later that afternoon. I was fully active by Tuesday. I went to the gym on Thursday and did stairclimber and elliptical and worked with light weights. I was left “fully” inflated, but not “fully erect” (whatever that means) after surgery until my two week check-up. I was then cleared to start exercising the device and cleared to get back to my normal physical routine. Ran a mile that day.
I’ve been exercising the device several times a day, and have some soreness in my shaft and scrotum but thanks to this forum had expected that. Surprisingly I’m beginning to recoup some of my original length - had expected that would take more time. I could go on but for the sake of brevity I’ll stop here.
I've gotten a great deal of surreptitious help and support from reading the many postings here on the forum, but would like to especially thank LGX_man and Hard Drive for the patience and detailed responses.
For anyone who would like to email me outside this forum my email is: jeanluc-three@hotmail.com.
