Might be time for implant

Postby sliphill » Wed May 03, 2017 11:06 pm

The injections are just not working for me lately. Just getting more and more frustrated. Can't get hard enough to penatrate. Took 70 units of quadmix 120/30/3/.2. This much is a little painful too. And I used a ring too. I'm getting tired of this. Just needed to vent.

I would try it one more time with an Autoject while squeezing the base of your penis together to prevent the medication from escaping. Autoject made my injections incredibly predictable and allowed my to reduce the amount I need to only 1 unit.

Agree...injections are not working. I suspect venous leak...but it doesn't matter. Implant seems to be the way to go now.

I am experiencing the same thing. What is your age and have you had any thing that has caused you ED? For me I had RP surgery last year. I have been researching having an implant for the last 2 months. In a nut shell on this forum this is what you are going to fine out. It is 98% satisfaction rate. But, if you don't have the implant done by Dr. Kramer or Dr. Eid your penis will fall off. So if you are like me and your insurance only allows a network of doctors to do the surgery and you don't have the funds to pay cash to get one of those two. You are out of luck

Check Drs on your network....determine how many procedures done per year. Should be 100 plus, but minimum should be 50.

Oh, I was diagnosed with a venous leak about 6 weeks ago. But another doctor told me that doppler test are not very accurate. The injections just suddenly stopped working which I still wrap my mind around.

I'm 62. To be honest, I don't know what caused my ED.

I don't believe that about the doctor part. I have one that has been doing the procedure for almost 30 years, and I hear he has a good reputation.
