Painless?

Postby spooon » Wed Jan 03, 2018 1:35 pm

So i have given myself a handful of Invicorp injections. I know very few people have heard of it but that's not the point of this thread. I've read a lot that the injection is painless. Is it really though? I wouldn't say it was completely painless. It's a bit like an injection at the dentist. There is an element of physical and mental discomfort as you insert the needle. I know however much i might tolerate it i would rather not. Anyone else agree?
42yr, ED from mid 20s. Currently trailing Invicorp. Single dose of 0.35 ml contains 25 mcg Aviptadil and 2mg Phentolamine. First injection gave 4 hour erection with half standard dose placing me at risk of priapism. Help!

True, "I would rather not" but the pain or discomfort isn't enough to be an issue. It doesn't register on my concern meter.

i think i'm still approaching it with the mindset i might f**k it up. that sense of needing to be careful isn't nice

on a different note, does anyone take pills at same time? they don't work very well for me but i'm looking for a way to get some stiffness before i get home. don't know about others but having an erection actually increases my libido. perhaps it's a confidence thing

I started with manual injections and it was painful to me. I dreaded every injection. Autoject is 99% painless and 100% predictable for me. I would never go back to manual.

I've been injecting Trimix for over 7 years and have never had pain during or after the injection. There is sometimes a little sting as the tip of the needle punctures the skin, but that "prick-stick-prick is not even as bad as a mosquito bite. For reference, I also did twice daily injections of an insulin regulator for almost 10 years with little or no discomfort--just a tiny sting. I have switched to a weekly autoinject for the same purpose and that sting is a bit more intense, althought "intense" is way too strong a word.

Putting everything in perspective:

Limp dick or Hard cock?
Injections or surgery that involves cutting into my penis and scrotum with a sharp knife?

Easy decisions for me. IJS

All the best.

I've had some that hurt, and some were painless.
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but when I inject with a bit of morning wood, or after getting a little plump from Viagra, It usually is completely painless.

On the other hand, sometimes when injecting T into my butt, it hurts like hell, but other times it's ALMOST painless.

Tomas - you use viagra with injections? Isn't that against advice? I ask coz i'd like to do the same or rather back to back if it's not going to do any harm

I'm not a medical professional and nothing I post should be considered medical advice.

Using Viagra with injections is clearly advised against in everything I've read. I believe the fear is of increased risk of priapism. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise I'd recommend you not do it.

That said, I do it. When my new Uro asked me why I did it I explained to him that it allowed me to use less of the injection meds. His only response was a kind of weak OK. There probably is a serious increased risk of priapism with using both. However, with me viagra really doesn't do much of anything on it's own. It makes therapy with a VED easier. It seems to allow my blood to flow in easier when pumped but by itself doesn't do anything on it's own regardless of stimulation other than a slight thickening sometimes. I'm convinced it makes my injections more effective. If I wasn't able to get generic viagra so cheaply through Canada it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Again, all medical literature I've read says don't do it, so don't!!!

I could not agree more on this one. Autoject=no pain!
