Implant in two weeks

[FixTDix]

Hello guys, just recently joined this forum. I am scheduled for an implant with Dr Faysal Yafi at UCI on Aug. 11th. I have dealt with Peyronie’s for 3 years. After one year I tried Xiaflex, and after the first shot of the second round I developed huge hematomas which sent me to the ER, and the next day I fractured during a nocturnal erection. 6 months later I got in contact with Dr Yafi who did an ultrasound and found massive calcification. We opted for excision and grafting. This straightened me out, but now over a year later I have a bulge where the graft is, and have lost rigidity beyond the graft. I have tried pills, Intraurethral gel and injections, but nothing works. Hence the implant. Going with the Titan. Wish me luck guys!

Welcome to the forum. Good luck. Praying for you, and for your surgeon.

I am scheduled in the NY area in three weeks for the AMS 700. A bit nervous. Had kidney stone surgery twice 15 years ago and was never the same. Was part of the peyronie drug trials a few years ago, and after 12 years, trimex stopped working. I keep reading different ideas about how much post op pain to expect, as well as how effective the outcome will be.

Welcome to the forum, jojolee.

Knowledge dispels fear.

Pain is partly physical, partly mental and partly emotional So, two-thirds of the distress of physical pain is able to be controlled by your mental attitude. The other one-third responds to drugs. It is well-established that if a person is concentrating and totally focused on something, a painful stimulus can often go undetected as long as the "something" is the subject of one's attention. Unfortunately, it is hard to maintain that level of concentration if the pain is intense, but the principle applies throughout the spectrum of concentration intensity and pain intensity. Example: If you are playing an intense game of pinball, you forget how much your shoes pinch your toes.

The pain of implant surgery is temporary - a few days or couple of weeks. The erections can last for hours at a time for YEARS! So worth it.

About 36 hours away now. Had some bacteria in my urine test, but I’ve been on Cipro for over a week and things are all clear. I think I messed it up by not doing a mid stream collection. Also my Covid test came back negative as well. Prob won’t be getting much sleep the next two nights
