Injection Technique

If you miss the target, you'll know within 10 minutes. No hard on, shoot again!

Thanks Guys....next time I have a failure I will try a reduced dose on the other side..(BTW I inject 14 units)...

All is good in Trimix land....hit the sweet spot..

I use a half inch needle with an auto inject EL with the depth set to 5/16 and have never had a problem I truly believe the fast thrusting of the needle with the injector penetrates everything needed to get the medicine in the right spot. As others have also said if you're not using an auto inject use a 5/16 inch needle the thickest cock is still going to get the medicine where it needs to be with average or smaller guys you might be going to deep which could also be a problem.

I have mentioned this on a couple of recent posts. The large EL needle holder (like a gun barrel) delivers the needle far more precise than any other. I have the EL (white) and the other (blue). There are 2 holders with each system. The large white one even has what looks like rifle grooves. My 1/2" needles give a 5/16 depth at a shorted setting. I am anxious to try it.

I have been injecting Trimix for about 4 years now with great success outside of a scare with some scar tissue which resolved itself with the help of some treatment and just time...I use an auto-injector and the other day I injected as usual but while having foreplay I noticed like a sac of fluid where I injected..No blood...but I knew from the way I was responding ( couldn't get hard enough) that I missed the sweet spot..Has that ever happened to anyone? I had no bruising afterwards, no bleeding just a weird looking penis for a few hours. The Trimix was the obvious "bulge" and my body just absorbed it so a few hours later I was fine..I was tempted to do another injection on the other side of my penis but chickened out. My second question is if this has happened to any of you guys did you ever inject again on the opposite side? I know my Doc would tell me it's a "no no"...but damn, I was so disappointed and that old failure feeling came rushing back....hate this ed..

qcswral, I started injecting about 20 years ago using only PGE1. It worked for at least 17 years but then became inconsistent even with increasing dose. I went to tri mix and got very good results for about 2 years but noticed a scar tissue starting to form in a band around the shaft of my penis and the injections did not work consistently. It is significant and shows up well on an ultra sound. I stopped using any form of injections for about 3 months and have noticed the scar tissue has been reduced but is still there. What did you do to resolve your scar tissue? What caused it? As for missing the target, it has happened more than I would like and I have ended up with a good part of the injection between the tunica and skin. It was painful but resolved and I have injected the other side when this happens. No problems but you have to watch the dosing on the second try for reasons mentioned in this thread.
I went back to PGE1 recently and had great results but I made sure I found an injection site that did not feel scarred but instead was supple. I always try to use a VED the next day to possibly reduce scar formation but that is not based on anything scientific.

I've been injecting for 3 years and was having a hard time finding a spot where I could get the 1/2" needle into the cavity.
I decided the try starting it in a promising spot, then giving it a fast thrust the rest of the way. So far, no more bent needles nor misses.
We'll see how it works in a more tough area.

This subject needs a good drawing of the penis. I use an Owen Mumford Autoject EI device AJ1310. An new revelation to me is the better injection site is 1 inch from the base.

I am an older guy in my late 60's. I had my prostate removed over a year ago and had to resort to the needle. I managed to deal with the procedure but it didn't seem to work --even though my doctor thought it did. Seemed to give me about 50% of a pathetic looking erection and that was it. Anyone else have a similar experience. Also if anyone is in the NNJ area and can recommend a good surgeon, I might consider an implant ---although I have to wonder if it's really worth it.

Bob:

Before considering an implant, suggest you read thru the multitude of messages on this board about injections and Trimix. Many docs are not very well versed in how to specify Trimix, give you a minimal prescription that barely works, and send you on your way. FYI, the stats on Trimix indicate it works well for more than 90% of those that use it. If you take the helm on your problem, learn more about dosages and injecting, you may find you are able to solve it with a change to your script or injection technique.

Sorry I haven't responded to your questions sooner...basically my routine which eliminated the scar tissue and what I believe is preventing future problems is I VED daily for 15min..except the day after I inject..I also continued to take 400mgs of Pentox twice a day as prescribed by a Peyronnes specialist..I have ED from cardio-vascular disease and Pentox is excellent at increasing circulation to the penis..If you google it along with ED there are a lot of studies bearing this out..Unfortunately many Docs are oblivious to Pentox as a supplemental treatment for ED for those of us who have it from poor circulation. My problem is the Peyronnes Doc took me off Pentox a year or so ago, but I continued to take it and have been buying it from an over sees pharmacy..which recently failed to send me my order..I felt the difference within days when the meds ran out and quickly ran to a walk in clinic and explained and admitted to my transgression of taking the Pentox without a prescription. The Doc there prescribed a 30 day supply with a promise from me I would see either see my GP or cardiologist asap..I started taking the Pentox again and sure enough about 1 week into taking it my penis feels alive again..I'm due to see my GP next week after my cardiologist appt was re-scheduled for December..I hate when I know more than the Docs..I've done extensive reading on ED and Pentox or otherwise known as Trental....there are several, many in fact studies indicating that it very helpful for those patients with vasogenic ED..Good luck
