I am curious about others that inject theirselves after RC. What percentage of erection do you have now vs before surgery. I feel like I am at 85% now with the shot vs 100% before surgery.Can I get it to 100%?Will different strengths take me to 100%.Be truthful now.

My wife asked me to answer this question, in my case I to am at about 85 percent, I do not think I will achieve the 100 perecnt as I am using the recommeneded dose,I have tried a little more ...it just makes the process of going down somewhat scary. I have reached the 4 hour mark , but escaped going to the er. So I will settle for the 85 percent,,,I am happy to have achieve that,nerve sparing did not work in my case, and I am 68 which also may add to the mix.
Good luck, achieveing any success is definetely
a plus..

Thanks Gene, the Dr never led me to think it would be as bad as it is.He just said there's medication to help,so I think a 100% will never be again, my dosage last for two and a half to three hours,I was wondering if increasing would lead to more hours or making the erection harder.Thanks for your reply, I was thinking everyone may be about the same.

Yes, it didn't help the size,but did make he going down alot longer,, sad but true......Gene

Here is a discussion on the Ed shot,,,

I've heard of the shot but I don't think I could do it to myself. Has anyone heard of the pump?

Yes,,there is a pump,and hopefully someone will come on and let you know about it,,,,I am the only one responding to the shot issue......through my husband of course.....oh well,someone has to speak up about it,,,,,even us ladies............ginger

I tried the manual pump which cost several hundred,glad Insurance covered it,I wouldnt give you 10 cents for another one, too painful,shot is more normal and looks normal.

I also find shots work about 85 % of the time. Lasts about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Originally my doctor wanted me to take 25 mg viagra every day when not injecting but it was giving me headaches so he changed the directions to take 100mg once per week. He also wants me to inject at least twice and no more than three times per week
I had a great aversion to needles and the concept of injecting my penis was just out there. After a few months, and with no pressure from my wife, I just had to give it a try. I still don't like shooting up but real intimacy with my wife makes it all worthwhile. I love her more than ever.
With 2 1/2 hour erections, mutual orgasms flooding our bodies with endorphines are just about guaranteed.
God bless modern medicine.
