Am I missing something?

Postby semi45 » Thu Jun 29, 2023 7:26 pm

I've tried the shots a dozen times with no results. When the urologist gave me a demonstration shot I felt a numbness and tingle like when I would get an erection.
I've tried from 9-11 and 1-3 and the plunger was always a little hard, indicating I was missing the mark. Do you go straight in toward the center of the penis like I do? Anyway, I think my next step would be to get an implant.

I'm using alprostadil 1 ml with a 1/2" needle. I usually go in almost all the way and if it is hard to inject I back off little by little. There is no soreness so I guess some of it is going in.
Thanks for your replies.

I'm using Edex 20mcg that I get from the V.A., it doesn't have to be frozen.

Hi Jim
I tried Edex, but it didn't work for me.
Did you Uro show you how to inject.
You might want to try Trimix.
It worked great for me for a few years.
Started with Viagra at age 40. Worked good for about 12 years.
Tried Trimix injections, worked great for about 8 years
Now Trimix no longer works.
I got implant on Oct 26th 2022.

Jim

Can you share some of your history leading to your ED? How long have you had ED? Sudden onset? Prostatectomy surgery? Onset from diabetes? Gradual age related? Cardiovascular? Venous leak? Injury?
I am 77y/o, had ED for 4 months about 25 years ago but the erections did come back.

Did you try pills? Did they ever work?
Tried Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, which worked for a short time (except Levitra, which never worked). I suspect venous leak because sometimes I can get an erection but it doesn't last.

What State or metro area are you in?
I'm in the Arkansas Ozarks.

Good luck.
