Hello everyone. I discovered this forum during my research on penile prosthesis after it became obvious to me I needed to take the final step. I appreciate the forum and all the information here and I would like to give back to others who are on the same journey I have travelled recently.

At the young age of 20, I suffered a penile fracture while having sex with my wife-to-be and we promptly made an ER visit at the local hospital. This was the 1980s, so I was given the walk it off response from the doctor. But my erections were notably softer and inconsistent. I was separated and divorced from her after she cheated on me. The next girlfriend was a fairly candid soul. She immediately noticed that my erections weren't firm until right before I ejaculated. I sought help from the doctors at that time, but was told it was all in my head and that I was too young to have an ED problem. We eventually parted ways. Every girlfriend since has commented on how soft my erections were and cheated on me. They would never say why they cheated, but I was beginning to see the pattern. I met a nice woman and married hoping this was it, but again cheating ended the marriage. My third marriage was to the woman of my dreams, and sex was not a big deal for us.. but she almost cheated on me as well. She never said anything about how soft I was until we went to counseling to discuss what happened. So with her help, I worked with the doctors for four years to try the oral medications (Cialis, Viagara, etc) then we shifted into suppositories like muse and trimix, then finally onto injections (Edix and Trimix). Still nothing worked consistently. We tried to spice things up and made a couple of trips to Vegas, but still the same issues. We tried vacuum devices, rings... Everything. Now in my 40s and wrestling with this condition for decades, it was depressingly obvious that I needed an implant to overcome the fracture.

A ton of research on doctors and devices, and I settled on Dr. Andrew Kramer in Baltimore and the AMS 700 device. I had the procedure in September 2014.

Thanx for your story and insights. In my 40’s as well. My surgery is in 7 days, 10/6/14. I’ll be getting a AMS/LGX-700 model.

Welcome aboard P-fracture,
I hope that everything is checking out fine with your AMS. Sorry to hear about your past experiences. Hopefully your new toy can alleviate that particular issue. I'm due for an AMS in December. How did the procedure go for you?
