I think the more fibrotic scaring you get, the harder it is to push a needle through, thus bending and breaking. By the time I quite trimix, I could only inject if I vacuum pumped first to stretch out the tissue thinner, otherwise I would bend a needle or would not even be able to puncture more than the skin. Scar tissue is VERY tough. I've injected scars over the years that were so tough that it took pushing with both hands to the point my hands were shaking pushing so hard. I have no doubt that the fibrotic scaring in the penis is the same way over time.

Experimented again tonight, used the 1/2" needle, worked great. I'm pushing 2½ hours, is starting to go down a bit.

I'm ready for the woman next time! Hell, I'm ready for her right now and she's only 4 miles away. But sleeping. :(

That's great, Andy. It's nice seeing you getting back in the saddle again.

Thanks.

I was with her the other night, and took 15 mg of Cialis. Didn't do a damned thing.

Next time is the needle.

That's a good price and about what I pay at Walmart. I hate it when they automatically assume it's for diabetes and I have to explain things to them in public.

My 1st with 31g 5/16 worked fine. No bend, but I really pushed quickly & firmly at a very slight angle as the physician advised.

Hmm, maybe it's a difference in state law, but here in NYS the prescription says "For intercavernosal injections." Or don't you even need a script where you live?

Wow, I don't envy you having to explain it. As most of us here know, treating ED in this way is not really known by the general public, nor even by some doctors who aren't urologists.
