Although 4 years into the use of trimix and the time has finally come to consider an implant, I just want to acknowledge the discovering and use of injections (pills never worked) was probably (definitely) one of the smartest and best moves I have made in my life. I am hoping that the implant leaves me with the same retrospect assessment.
Just sayin'.

Just curious if you'll permit me, how often were you were injecting and did you religiously switch sides?

4 years is about how long Trimix worked for me. Moved to Quadmix and that only worked for a few months. Maybe some of us just get immune to the stuff after a while?
Then the implant. Healing was tough on me but then I was 68. Now it's been close to 2 years and it is the best thing ever. No more guessing if I should take a pill or have to hop out of bed after getting warmed up to go inject. Erection any time that lasts until I say it's done.
Read and learn, find a good surgeon, ask questions.
Good Luck.

The best part of injections: in 1987 time frame, there was no Viagra, Cialis, Levitra. Implants were basically on the drawing board. Injections were so new not many doctors had heard of them and even fewer prescribed them. Luckily I found one who did, after being told (numerous times) to relax, have a glass of wine, use a cock ring.

When pills alone did nothing we discovered that pills plus shots bought me some time and some more-or-less acceptable sex. I was never going to be mistaken for somebody’s dream lover. But I could function well enough to reproduce and keep my wife from prowling truck stop parking lots (just kidding dear).

Injections kept me going for 32 years. When they implanted me (even though I was done by a lowly doc in flyover country instead of New York) they found no fibrosis, no scarring, no impediment to installing an implant that had me within 0.2” of my start point.?

I’m glad I injected but I’m even happier that I now am bionic. I think that in some guys shots will work great, others it’s a bridge until the time is right to implant. Regardless, it’s good medicine. Ugh.

It's great to hear that you had no scarring after such so many years of use. May I ask which injection med did you use the most? Was it Trimix?

Hell, forgive me for not including that info. That’s a lick on me.

I started with bimix in 87. In 1995 they changed me to caverject, which was prostaglandin e1?powder preloaded in a syringe that you reconstituted then injected. In 1998 I was using viagra plus Caverject. I hated the Caverject — bad achy dick — but coupled with the viagra it wasn’t too bad in terms of results ( with me none of the solutions were perfect, just varying degrees of mediocre)

In 2000 the university of Kansas med school Urology folks changed me to trimix. Much much better than Caverject. Used it until I tried quadmix (trimix with atropine) around 2017. I couldn’t tell any benefit at all from the atropine.

I never followed the rules perfectly on swapping locations etc etc but I also tried to avoid being stupid.

Wow you went through the gamut with the injections. It is heartening to know there are long time injectors who got no scarring. Thanks for the response.

At first, I was injecting several times a week. It made me rock hard for hours. I always alternated sides. Four years in now, and I only get semi hard for a short time, even with amped up formulas and dosage.

Txagq8, do you recall your caverject dosage back in the 90’s? I know it’s a long time ago.
