How common is it? Is there a such thing as injecting too deep and having almost no affect or maybe the improper angle? I'm using Edex and I don't believe that increasing my dosage every 6 months is the answer. Any advice would be appreciated. I've had good success up until now.

Missing can be fairly common. (I'm just pulling that out of my ass. I don't really know how common it is.) Yes you can go too deep as well as too shallow. That brings up my biggest complaint about Edex (other than cost), and that's the inability to feel plunger resistance or even to aspirate. Both great methods to determine proper shot placement. Using small volume insulin syringes is much easier to use those methods. Remember, if it hurts when you start depressing the plunger then you're not in the correct spot. Adjust a bit deeper or shallower and and try again.

That'd be quite a miss!
ED since mid '20, with slight Peyronies. Thus begins a search for the right solution(s); 56yo a/o Sep '21. Three months into my quest (12/21), I think PT-141, Cialis/tadalafil 20mg and L-Arginine (maybe other herbs) are a winning formula. For now.

Re: Missing The Mark
It's not uncommon. You have to really learn your dick and where to inject it.
I was experimenting this week and discovered that injections in the top half toward the head don't work AT ALL. On either side.
I have to stay near the base and then they work great.
I'd love to know why it doesn't work in the top half though. I know we're supposed to change our injection site, but if I can only inject on the bottom half that really limits my choices, especilly since I have a lot of surface veins to avoid.

44, ED problems began around age 28 when I was on finasteride for hair loss, and also got circumcised so I lost a lot of sensation. Pills gave me bad headaches and other side effects. Now using trimix 30/1/20. So far so good.

Re: Missing The Mark
slipinslider: I have the same situation, and after many successes and misses I discovered that my corpus on one side lies deeper near the head, therefore I need a longer needle (12.7mm) there. I use 8mm elsewhere on that side. On the other side I can use 8mm everywhere.
TomCat54: I find that I can occasionally put the needle right through a near-the-surface corpus, or sometimes I don't have a long enough needle to get through the tunica. bldoink is right, push in further, or pull out a little. I divide my length into five zones and record corpi depths and other parameters on a spreadsheet. Your angle should be plumb to the corpus you're trying to hit.
