I'm beginning to have a lot of swelling and bruising to where I fear I'm damaging the smooth muscle tissue. I'm very careful about where I inject and use an auto-injector so I know the depth is correct.

Anyway (and pardon me if doing this isn't permissible) I'm going to paste my intro that i posted elsewhere here to give a little background on my situation. Thanks!

Hey, been reading f talk for a while and decided to join. My severe ED is a mystery. By deduction I think it must be a venous leak. None of the usual suspects apply to me: i'm not diabetic, no heart problems/hi bl pressure etc, prostate fine, testosterone seems more than fine (i'm horny ALL the time). In fact, aside from my ED, i'm currently an exemplary specimen of health. I'm 44 but people mistake me for early 30's, I do Bikram yoga 5 days a week, swim, work-out, run, vegetarian (bordering on vegan), take lots of supplements, do acupuncture, and so on.

My ED started slowly in my mid 30's and has gotten progressively worse since. At first, Cialis and V would do the trick and then they started to lose their kick, so I'd up the dose, try them sublingually, mix with Arginine, horny goat weed, B5, Choline, Ginseng, maca, pycnogenol, you name it! I did find one certain cock ring that kept my member stiff: one of those three metal concentric (i guess you'd call it) welded together things, where the big ring goes over the whole "package", the medium sized ring over the balls, and the smallest over the schlong. That worked (and still does) but is uncomfortable and results in some bruising, and is just a pain in the arse in general! But it did save my sex life for a while.

I started Trimex injections back in October and they work wonderfully about 90% of the time. Lately I've been getting a lot of swelling and bruising, and a couple "misfirings" to where it didn't work well (which sends me into a tailspin of worry and anxiety). I'm very careful about where to inject and I use an auto-injector so I know the needle is getting to the correct depth.

Anyway, I'm going to call the pharmacist in Florida tomorrow from whom I get my supply and ask him a few questions.

Ultimately, I'd like to find a decent Urologist who can thoroughly assess my situation and listen to my concerns. Give me a doppler(?) test for a venous leak, any other pertinent tests. I just would like to know what in the hades is wrong with me!!! So exasperating and this has caused untold amounts of stress, strain and depression in my life. I feel like, in my current health condition and age, I shouldn't have to take V or C, much less inject. Been to two "urologists" here locally and they were so piss poor it isn't even funny. I know more about ED than those clowns from just having scoured the internet on the subject.

I'm wondering if maybe my condition came from chronic masturbation or from an injury with my cock ring on while I was partying heavily one night and was on one of my hedonistic marathons. Incidentally, I don't "party" anymore. Have been clean and sober for a couple years now. And, while my relapse into drug and alcohol certainly did my erectile abilities no favors, I know it isn't the culprit because I was already having trouble before my "backslide."

Sorry for the voluminous life story, but I hope this sheds some light and I hope to find some buddies so we can help each other!

Peace.

Hey Tex... Welcome to the club that no one wants to join.
I think a visit to a good urologist is definetly in order. I doubt jerking off too much would be a cause any more than too much sex.
What is your trimix formula and dosage? (getting better boners with less quantity amazed me, currently 3 units)
Stop by the Chatroom (even if it is empty, just hang around for a bit), lots of info from fellow prick-stickers, as well as just plain fun chat.

Keep us post as to what the uro says.

Hey Tex,

I agree about you seeing a good urologist. As far as the damage is concerned, a few thoughts. Look for the veins not only on the foreskinn, but when you are erect with the Tirmix check the underlyng veins, and remember where they are. Example, I have several large ones right in the center of the shaft. It is a must to avoid them. The brusing you see is likely a light hematoma from bleeding. I have them about 5% of the time even with great care. They go away in 10 days or less and appear to have done no permanent damage. A dull needle is another sure problem. I don't know how to avoid that , but be careful not to damage the point when you stick the needle in to the vial.

Hope you get it figured out

Thanks gentlemen.

You know, I've been having extra trouble since I got this last pack of needles. I'm gonna buy a new pack different brand to trouble shoot.

Also, I'm having trouble locating a decent urologist--one who will thoroughly examine me and talk to me. I don't think I should be having ED problems to begin with given my current state of health. Is there some directory, or someone in Central TX who can direct me?

The ones I went to were nothing but drug pushers. The ones who turned me on to trimix--were total crooks. I didn't know it at the time but they were getting trimix exclusively from one pharmacy and upping the price like tenfold! I was looking at their paper work recently and they charged 405 for a vial of trimix! And they charge for the "handy insulated carrying case" the kind you put a six pack of beer in with alcohol swabs and a few needles. They doubled the price of the auto-injector. My visit to their office was 753 total. Oh well, I have learned since then. Also, if it hadn't been for them I wouldn't have discovered the trimix.

Also, and pardon the redundancy, here is my initial post to give some background.

Im in a similar boat so I can relate to you. Trimix does work well for me and never had a bruise but I injected a total of 8 times only.

I gave up on Dr. Aside form issuing the trimix prescription per my request they were no help to me. This forum is infinite more help than them, and saves me the money and embarassment of going there.
Masturbation and porn could become addictive and produces mental ED. Great videos on you tube. Search for "masturbation induced ED" or "porn induced ED"

im 43 and very healthy otherwise, not as much as you though but no other issues or medications.

I traumitize my self with two questions for too long: Why me? What is wrong? It does not worth it. You have the condition and that is the only thruth. Learn how to better deal with it. I have none of the listed causes.

Because of your story of the cock ring sounds like venouse leak might be an issue. But if you have spontaneous erection at night you can ruled out that one.

I used 5/8 31 gauge syringes. That is the thinnest that you can safely use which is best for reducing scarring, and help you miss the veins.
Hope this helps
