I am 70 (uncircumcised), live 90 miles from Atlanta, was implanted in May 2014 at Vanderbilt with the LGX. My insurance is Medicare Advantage through United Healthcare.
All went well for the first year after my implant. But in April 2015, I developed a burning about an inch in length, encircling the shaft, abutting the glans.

This sounds like nerve damage. Get second opinion.
never heard that one. I had one of those doctors. She was recommended to me by a doctor in the ER when I dislocated/fractured a finger. I fell off a ladder and I thought I was unscathed until I looked at my finger, it was bent at a right angle. I straightened it out walking in the house to tell my wife. My wife said we better go to ER just in case. Well the X-ray showed a fracture. So I went to this doctor the next day. Well she just gave it a quick look and had a therapist put on a metal brace on it and I was told to take it off a few times a day and bend the finger. I did this and when I went back to see her in a few weeks, she X-rayed it and told me that the fracture broke off, and I needed surgery to put a screw in it. This didn't work, so I get another surgery to put a big pin in through the joint. When I went back to her office to have the pin removed, there was hardly any part of the pin to grab with the pliers. She must have slipped 4 or 5 times with the pliers, and this hurt like heck, she walks out, and my wife and I look at each other, with that WTF look on both of our faces. She did finally remove it, but damn. Any ways I have a finger that bends maybe 50% and is crooked. Idk, I've heard joints are problematic, so maybe she did the best she could. its a pain to pick up a coin, 
but other than that, it's ok. I can still ride a motorcycle. W
