Thanks for the reply. They inject in my hip 200mg/ml of Testosterone Cypionate every 2 weeks. I am seeing my family Doc. this week, and will ask if I should see a Uro MD. Everything has been working really good, and I don't want to tear everything apart.

Hi, I had my implant surgery on Dec. 2010. with normal recovery, and very good outcome. Here is my situation, two months ago my family physician diagnosed me with low testosterone blood levels due to age and the medication that I am prescribed. He started me on bi-weekly testosterone injections, and...

I have been taking Gabapentin (neurontin) for over 6 months with very few side effects. It works very good for taking care of mild joint and muscle pain. It's better than taking narcotic drugs, or otc drugs like Tylenol which doesn't help much. ED can be caused by so many different things for each i...

Thanks! Jer Geezer for the info. Looks like I have some homework to do in the next couple of weeks. This website is very

Cialis has helped with the BPH, and improved my erections, but with ongoing kidney stones and weak urine flow...

I noticed your post today, William7. It has been a while since I have been on the board. My implant was put in over a year ago. Prednisone worked great for me in regards to daily joint pain for a couple of months. However, it just about cost me my implant when the infections couldn't be controlled b...

Hi Ron, Yes, I have some morning pain, and it gets sore when it isn't parked just right when sitting for any length of time. My wife hasn't seem me squirm in the car seat since we were dating over 35 years ago.

HI, Mike is right, you do become more of a "shower". I had to buy some different underwear that was more comfortable, and gave better support. I had my surgery on 12/8 at Vanderbilt and there is still some tenderness when pumping it up. I notice that after trying to deflate that peeing is ...

Hi, As far as BC/BS is concerned keep checking, and get a written policy booklet, or go on line and read what the policy covers. My BC/BS policy said it did does cover the surgery, but the on-line person said it wasn't covered. I called back and talked to another person and gave the page number and ...
