40 year old with spinal cord injury

Postby colonelangus » Wed Jul 24, 2013 10:03 am

WOW am I glad I found this site! I'm a 40 year old that was in an aircraft accident 3 years ago that left me with partial paralysis from my hips down. I can still walk with effort, but I have no feeling in my penis and butt. I've been trying Viagra, Cialis and Levitra and they were all unsuccessfull. I just had an appointment with a urologist and am scheduled to have surgery in August for a penile implant. I'm reading over the forum now and it's given me a boost of confidence and easing my fears.

Hi,welcome aboard.
Here you'll find a bunch of nice guys and a wealth of information.
I myself suffered w/ED from 37 to 41 and was implanted 8/7/13 and now at 42
I have regained what ED stole from me and couldn't be happier.
Best wishes on your journey, any questions please ask.

Welcome to FT.
I was implanted with the Coloplast Titan in December 2007 after developing
ED Post-Prostatectomy in February 2004.
The Implant completely corrected my ED and restored both my sex life and the
emotional bond with my wife.
We have been fully enjoying my Implant for the past 5+ years and counting.
Wishing you a lifetime of enjoyment with your upcoming Implant.
Bob

Welcome. Just a note to let you know that I suffered from ED for over 15 years and have tried all the pills, penile suppositories, vacuum therapy, tri-mix injections and for the last three years none of them worked. Two weeks ago today I had an AMS MS700LGX implanted. I was pretty sore the first week using a lot of ice but this past week I have been inflating my implant for 1 hour a day (and sometimes two times so my wife could see it). I had my first post-op office visit with my uro today and he said everything looks great BUT he is making me wait another 2 weeks before I can begin to have sex with my wife.

I cannot believe the wonderful feeling when I first inflated the implant. As soon as I saw that it looked very natural, at that very moment all the frustration, anger and embarrassment that has been baggage that I have carried around was lifted off my shoulders and I already feel like a new man even without being able to have sex yet with my wife.

I wish you the very best as you adventure into this experience. All the guys here on FrankTalk are willing to give suggestions, offer support and answer questions you might have.
