Can't make a decision

[vro123]

I haven't decided to get an implant yet although the Urologist, I think, is leaning that way. Is it true they only last an average of seven years? Using Edex now, but will probably switch since I'm getting some pain. Used pills, but caused high heart rate 10 minutes after taking them. Also used Muse, but that caused extreme pain and curvature just behind the head. How much time off work do I need to take? I'm in a tough spot since I've had four surgeries since 2008. With the TURP I had in 2008, i was supposed to be out 3 weeks but that turned into 3 months due to bleeding (coumadin, which i'm not taking now). I guess i'm just unsure what to do.

Hi vro123

Unlikely anybody will advise you to implant or not implant. My personal choice has become to go for the surgery though it took me a while before I said to myself - screw that fear...
At the beginning just a though about that would make me sick and when I saw a video on the net about some older patient I literally almost threw up. But with the time, given the fact that it is "invisible" I became in peace with the decision and now just patiently wait for my turn to get on the table.
