I have just a question thought maybe someone had experience with injections for e.d. I have several things ( high blood pressure,diabetes etc) that are against me as well as three different T.U.R.P. surgeries all of which have put the little guy down. I have tried the different pills and it is a no go they say that shots work for most people. aside from the obvious ( yuck factor) needles in the penis. so what I am wondering is like what is the workup like? lots of nurses checking this and that ? I understand that an ultrasound is pretty standard. I would really love any information because frankly this is my last option. the Idea of an implant is not even doable in my head. If it came to that I am pretty sure it just couldn't happen. mostly for modesty reasons. and the fact that because of abuse the triggers would be so incredibly overwhelming.
I am really interested in how the procedure goes to even begin the therapy. I am pretty sure they don't just hand you a syringe and say see you in 6 months. there has to be some training which I can't imagine, and probably other things as well. If I can go in knowing what to expect it can help me get it done but running into surprises ... who knows might just run off screaming

have checked out the shock wave therapy but the jury is not in on the benefits. a lot of guys tell me they had some results ant for the price they charge I am not willing to take that chance. ESPECIALLY since there are then maintenance sessions required for a long time after. and they are no cheaper. the P-shot is very much the same I am not willing to put out what amounts to a couple thousand dollars for something that MIGHT work.
I am sorry the pills have not worked. They do not work, however, just by taking them and waiting for an erection. Erections happen after you take the pills and get mentally aroused.
I have a feeling that your mental state may have interfered with that process. It may also make having injections just too difficult for you. You may need to consider targeted therapy along with any direct treatment options.
I guess I wouldn't say they didn't work. they just didn't work sufficiently also I began to have some eye symptoms and I had to stop to check that out first. .. seems it is always something
I have been injecting for over four years. I use Caverject impulse. Unfortunately, I switched to medicare and it is not covered. I had great results with it. The stick was no big deal. I looked forward to it because sex was in the future. The active ingredient, Alprostadil can cause pain in the penis. I found this subsided over time. Also for me, if I took viagra a day before injection, I had less pain. My first injection was a disaster. I injected the full 20 mcgs and had a four hour painful erection. Like an over inflated tire.
Two things that I was not told by my urologist when I started. 1. Sudafed is an antidote and will relieve the erection fairly quickly. So have some to take if needed. In the beginning, I took Sudafed every time. After about 9 months I never needed it. 2. Use a VED/pump to enlarge your penis prior to injection. More surface area to deal with. I include my routine below.
Caverject Usage Check List
There are a lot of variables involved in this; It takes some trial and error to get it right; C-ject comes in 10mcg and 20 mcg dose sryinges; the syringes are adjustable; the 10mcg can inject 2.5, 5, 7.5 or 10mcgs; the 20 mcg has 5, 10, 15 or 20mcgs;
I know it is scary to jab a needle in your penis; There was a lot of anxiety starting out; Now I look forward to it because I know the wonderful experience that will follow;
Plan time with partner so they are ready to go after you inject
I Don’t eat anything for several hours prior to (Sudafed, if needed works much better on an empty stomach)
Make sure you have a couple of hours (erection may last longer than you want)
Head to bathroom (preferably one with lots of lighting) with injection kit and pump;
My Kit include:
Caverject syringes
Alcohol wipes; I use the ones that look like and are packaged like baby wipes; the tiny ones that come with the syringe are harder to deal with
Sudafed tablets 30 mg; don’t get extended release
A pair of readers (don’t see as well as I used to)
Turn on all lights; more light the better
Put on reading glasses
Urinate as best you can
Close toilet seat lid
Wash hands
Set out four 30 mg Sudafed tablets
Open caverject package; remove syringe
Sterilize end of syringe with alcohol wipe
Remove paper cover from needle; Screw needle on syringe
Screw down plunger; this opens the liquid to mix with the powder
Mix up solution; Shake well; hold up to light to be sure there are no solids floating around
Allow to settle; solution should be clear; no air bubbles
Use penis pump to enlarge penis (much easier to inject a sausage than a peanut; I cleared this with my urologist)
Once pumped up, I leave the pump on my penis and rest it on the bathroom counter top
Remove cover and cap from needle; tap with finger and while pointing needle upwards expel air in syringe by pushing plunger in all the way; you should expel a few drops of solution
Turn plunger clockwise to desired dose; you will see the dose in the window; if just starting I would begin at the lowest dose
I then remove the pump from my penis and wipe penis with alcohol wipe
Sit on toilet
Choose injection site at 10 or 2 o’clock, avoiding any visible veins
I alternate injecting between 10 and 2 o’clock; In my experience, 10 may require a different dose than 2 and vice versa
Insert needle into penis and depress plunger; I insert almost all the way
Remove and apply pressure for a couple minutes with alcohol wipe
massage penis to distribute the alprostadil throughout the penis
Penis will slowly become erect; 10-15 minutes;
NOTE: I have had several malfunctions with the adjustable dosing mechanism on the caverject syringe; sometimes after turning to my desired dose the plunger won’t go all the way or not at all; I get pretty good results with 5-7.5 mcg. I recently started turning the syringe all the way to 10 mcg and then expel a little less than half of the dose; This tells me the plunger mechanism is working; then inject the balance in my penis.
Ive got to ask what was the set up like to get the ok to use the shots? I have heard all about ultrasounds and testings and teachings in the office before hand and then again after ... I really kind of need to know hope you can help
