Bet you've never heard that before, eh? Welcome to the site, my friend. Your situation sounds a lot like mine, just as my buddy Jeff mentioned: Type II Diabetes, Cardiac Valve replacement, BPH, TURP, etc. etc. I tried without much sucess for 3 years to get hard using various combos of the pills. I finally started trimix injections last November and everything is working wonderfully now. My advice to you is to make sure that your entire medical team: cardiologist, heart surgeon (possibly), internist, urologist, and endocrinologist (if applicable) are all in the loop as you pursue different treatments for your ED. Advice #2: learn all you can about different remedies: pills, injections, pumping, gels, and ultimately, implants. Advice #3: Make sure you get tested for testosterone and "free" testosterone levels. (If these numbers are too low, your solution may lie in that direction.) Advice #4, having exhausted all non-invasive therapies, ask your doc informed questions about injections. You can get that information on this site, but you need to go to the doc with some knowledge. He/she will be impressed that you know the difference between Caverject and trimix. Besides, if it comes to injectinos, you should know what they are sticking in your pecker, don't you think?

Finally, don't give up. Nag nag nag nag nag. My mantra was "this is not an acceptable outcome". I was fortunate in that my entire medical team--all young men--agreed. If your team does NOT agree, you need a new team.

Look forward to seeing you in the Chat Room. Hard times, buddy,

Greg

Vern,
Check out the different options on this website. There are the medical treatments (pills, injections, implants) but there are also other things you can do to enhance sensitivity, etc. (shaving; foreskin restoration) and to sustain erections (c0ck rings of various types). Most of us have tried a combination of things, and different combinations will give different results, depending on the individual.
