28 yo, impotent, need advice

[PeaceofPain07]

Honestly, I don't like the idea of injections... not because I don't like needles, but the fact it often causes priapism which I'm very afraid of as it can make permanent damage which cannot be fixed not even by an implant. Is this a real concern?

That is actually my main concern. A question I have yet to ask the doc. If untreated priapism from injections occurs (or I suppose even from pills for that matter) and damage occurs, what is the success rate of restoring erections thru implants?

A lot of that would depend on how much tissue death occurred. I believe that in the most severe cases, amputation has been required. Implant after that would be challenging.

Here are just a couple of journal articles

The good news is that a quick trip to an emergency room (before 4 hours is the standard advice) resolves priapism with little chance of bad after-effects and it is usually 24-48 hours that yields the most dire consequences.

Dalmation,

Give it some time. If you’ve been improving, that’s a great sign. I’d start using pills right away. Talk to your uro.

This is good advice. At your age if you don't have venous leakage, or sever internal nerve damage, I would never do an implant. Nothing feels as good as a blood filled dick. Try all your options first. There are even new nerve grafting experiments in the works now.
