1st injection / training at Dr. Office

[Jaybo1]

Of course sometimes I have trouble even plumping up very much.

Yeah, that's not really going to happen with me either. There's no plumping without the injection first or a pump. I wish! It's a dead dick without the juice.

Well I'm not totally dead without the juice, but this last time I was plumped pretty good, so that was nother way I knew I was in the sweet spot on the injection.

Sigh.

Another not good result. dropped 5 units to 25. injected slowly, was careful to get placement right, but I did not aspirate or use a ring. I got hard at about 75% tops and it was very short lived, maybe 5 minutes tops. The pain started soon after injection and was getting worse every minute, Wife worked hard to get it back, but it wasn't happening ans the pain sucked. I'm pretty frustrated as what was once a huge glimmer of hope has turned into a literal pain in the dick. Now I'm wondering if it is the pain that is chasing away the erection or venous leakage or what.

10 units gave me 5 minutes, 20 gave me 10-15, 30 and 25 both gave me 5 and lots of pain. Do I drop back to 20? not sure where to go from here but I feel defeated.

I'm very sorry you're having such difficulties. I don't actually have any suggestions other than the obvious one to consult your doctor, which you should definitely do.

I again caution that I'm not qualified to give medical advice and I'm likely full of shit. Ask you doctor.

I do think the cock ring helps me. Just remember, if you try them with injections you can't use a tight one or you will most likely be constrained by the same time limits as with using one with a VED. The ones I use won't do anything for me without an injection and wouldn't keep me up using a VED either. They just help the injection. I've previously mentioned the ones I use. The velcro ties previously mentioned by another poster is something I plan to try also.

What type of pills were you using?

Pills alone don't do shit for me. They do help a bunch when using a VED which I otherwise have difficulty with. It's strange, the pills don't turn the hose on but they do open the valve and allow blood to be sucked through with the VED. Some strange nerve damage I'm guessing.

I also use a generic viagra with my injections. This allows me to use a lot less alprostadil resulting in less chance of alprostadil pain. This is, I believe, a strictly off label use and is cautioned against by some if not most medical professionals. I believe the fear is of causing a priapism. Should you recklessly consider this option it would be wise to start real low with your alprostadil and work your way back up again. My experience doing this is only with the generic viagra. I understand there may even be other cautions with some of the other pills due to the length of time they remain in the system. When my brand new to me uro (original retired) saw that I was using viagra with the injections he asked me why. When I explained to him that doing that allowed me to use considerably less alprostadil he simply said OK and that was the end of it. Take that however you want.

I should also add that in the beginning alprostadil didn't work well and it was only after repeated trials over a couple of months that I got consistent results. However, I attributed that to being due to having had a RP during the previous year but who knows.

I sure wish I had a magic answer for you. I wish you the best and I'll pray that you find a satisfactory answer.

Cialis and Levitra never worked for me at all. Viagra worked early on but soon needed more and more and then it stopped being effective too, and the headaches it gave me was not worth it even if they did work. I sent an email to my Doc asking for her advice as to where to go now. I'm an impatient sort, and have had really high hopes for the injections so maybe I just need to give it more time. Hopefully the doc gets back to me soon. :/
