Pain relief?

[4jacres]

After second home injection, first with new Rx, I have experienced soreness borderline major discomfort after sex. Though my erections have not been "rock hard" like a teenager, they have been adequate for sex... I am not complaining. The pain starts after we are through and in the wait period for it to go down. So far I have experienced prolong erections semi to hard, one being +4 hours, the other +3. Decided to take the Sudafed at the 3 hour mark last night but the erection subsided before the meds could take effect. Pain was completely gone about the 3.5 hr. mark. I have had NO problems with the initial stick. Any suggestions? My new formula after the doc made an adjustment after my starter dose and the +4 hr. erection is 30-20-2...10 units. I was thinking about cutting back on the next try.

Have you been without an erection for a long time?? Read a paper where it equated an erection that has not been used to a muscle that has not been used. Penis will be painful just like any muscle that has not been used for a long time then over exercised. You just pumped up a muscle hard, right. Being allergic to PGE-1, the pain starts immediately at the time of injection. First thing on your mind is,, Get the Sudafed NOW. NO, not sex first, NOW. My pain on the scale of 1-10 was 15.

Agree with Oldbeek. Chances are that pain will go away over time as your body (and penis) adjusts. Give it some time. Also, consider injecting a bit less of the drug and see if that helps. Good luck!

I used the pump with tension rings for the last several years. I'm not sure if thats the same as having a regular erection or not. I'm going to cut back a couple of units for now and see how it goes. It looks like its going to be a learning curve with this so I'll take it low and slow.

I read a paper somewhere that in many cases the pain or discomfort initially experienced by new users of injections disappears or diminishes after the user has been at it for awhile. That has also been my personal experience as an alprostadil user. However, I never had the extreme pain reported by some men.

Anyone experience this pain?? After a good erection and using it for about 30 minutes. The next day I still have a stabbing pain in the right side of my groin area. 3rd day it is still there but not as bad and going away I think.

I never had the lasting pain as you describe. I have had a little soreness the following day when I used too much meds and had pain during use but continued active use. In those situations I had some soreness the following day. My worst was when I used way too much and had a boner that arched to near 1:00 and was so hard it hurt during the act just trying to normally flex or bend it during penetration. It was too stiff, hard and pointed up to be useful. I think if I'd pricked it with a pin it would have exploded. Yeah, that one hurt for sure and was a bit sore the next day. Sudafed got used that night. I clearly don't have the severe pain issues experienced by some. However, when I was first starting to use injections I did have frequent pain during use. It seemed to be centered in the top third of my dick deep inside. The pain was annoying and did detract from the experience but wasn't enough to prevent it's use or keep me from performing and reaching a climax. I'm not sure when it went away but I eventually stopped noticing it.
