I never had pain from Trimix. I wish to God I'd never used the stuff, but no pain.

I do get the pop when I pump it. Sometimes it is hard and won't pump easy, mostly if I have really tried hard to deflate it to the max. If I leave fluid in it, I just deflate a bit and then go for the pop. Near takes both hands to squeeze the bulb when it does not want to pop, but if I pump it 3-4 times like that, then deflate again, I can feel a slight momentary deflate buzz, then try pumping again and it will give a hard pop and pump but it still takes a billion pumps. I have to continually move penis and pump around to get kinks out of hoses as it will quit pumping. Once I get over 140 I don't have that problem. This morning I pumped 170 times and quit. Doc tried several times 2 weeks ago. I do sometimes have to rotate where I try to squeeze the pump to find the sweet spot, then sometimes have to rotate again. The bulb has a place in it that feels like a bubble within a bubble that also deflates. Feels like 2 layers that have delaminated. There is 1 large section of scrotum that is very thin. Thought about holding a light to it to see if I can see through it like when I was a kid and would look at all the veins and such but my only flashlights get VERY hot. 18th I see another doc. See what he says about it then. 2 doctors at this time have said take it out and replace it and do it scrotally this time. Concensis at this point is the tubes come out in a loop but they are folded due to the way it was installed might be part of the issue but not all. A zero degree Titan would not have this issue because the tubes come out of the cylinder differently. Not had a scan yet too look at it. Scan flacid then another after 40 minutes pumping this damn thing would tie up a lot of time and expense, but I think we are going to do that at some point. Insurance is balking at it and everyone wants $$$ guarantee up front. Had to give credit card to guarantee 18th doctor appointment even though deductible was met Jan 4th and I have zero copay. One way or another this thing needs to come out or be modified as there are too many issues to live with it. Been sitting with ice on it tonight. First time in weeks I've iced but too much time on my feet and the tubing gets things very sore. More than double dose Advil can knock.

Alibaba, I think you're doing the right thing having another procedure as it seems like it is not working properly. I would fight with the insurance company on this one as it is obviously a needed operation since the implant is either defective or improperly installed. I hope all goes well and you re able to get it done. I have a Titan Zero Degree and it works perfectly (I don't mean to make you feel worse), so if you get the Zero Degree you should have good success. Of course you'll have to start over with the need to go through a softening process of the pump and implant, but it will be worth it.

Glad your zero is working well as is several others. It is what has been suggested as a replacement. Eid also said that is what should have been used. One doc said he did not think there was anything wrong mechanically with my implant but thought the way it is installed is the issue. Hope they wake me up so I can see the *^%$# thing. I'd like to know what the (^%*$ it is. something new last night. It popped but would buzz with every pump. did a few pumps, then deflate, then pop again and then it acted in it's usual fashion.

I was going to the last time but with the doctors attitude :evil: and then walking off saying we are not going to discuss, I didn't.

I fired him the day after he put it in and have not been back. Wife is furious they sent me a bill for more money yesterday. She says they have a lot of nerve.
