Tough decision to make

Postby indeed » Tue Dec 27, 2022 10:22 am

Hey guys

Long story short i injured my suspensory ligament and have erection issues and wobbly base ever since.
I talked to Hakky, Eid, and Ralph. Eid and Hakky agreed implant would probably be best. Ralph wanted to do some more tests first (eventhough i have VL diagnosis).
I'm pretty sure i'll need the implant though. My dilemma:
Since my ligament is injured i lack stability at the base an my erection angle is fucked. According to Ralph the implant would take over for the ligament, Eid and Hakky were like "maybe". Eid advised against ligament repair surgery, Hakky offered to do it in the same procedure as the implant but said it's quite dangerous. He did it a few times before and said it went well each time, but there is a risk. If his surgery goes wrong you're basically fucked (dorsal nerve damage).

Very though decision to make. I'm worried if i don't do the ligament surgery, my angle will point down and my base will still be weak and prone to injury.
Does anyone have any input?

Thanks a lot

My first thought is go with just the implant and see if that does the job and consider the other option later!Good luck!

Indeed,

I agree with Joe.

If it is that much of a risk I wouldn't do it now, get the implant and use it for a while then revisit this if you are not happy.

My implant sticks straight out when inflated, maybe just a little up, and it fucks perfectly. Yes, once in a while my wife or I have to reach down and aim my dick, but that was not unheard of when I was much younger. You get the implant in order to fuck, that's the primary reason, if you can after implant, I would say, mission accomplished. Then I would follow the adage, "If it aint broke, don't fix it!"

I think the same thing, get the implant and see how it works. Certain positions make either me or the wife have to point the guy in the right direction occasionally, no big deal. Had to do that when my dick worked.

My angle is "below horizon" and quite frankly it's the least important thing of all penile related topics imho.
I have a loose suspensory ligament from before the implant and I too was concerned about wobleness. I ended up with 22+3cm of RTE's which in theory having a ridigity factor of 1-(3+5)/25 * 100 = 68% (eid's metric) and still I ended up having way more rigidity than my best natural erection. I understand your concerns but in my experience it wasn't an issue at all. You're likely overthinking this.
Get a Titan, least amount of RTE's possible, get healed, and you'll forget about ever having such a concern later on.

How does one know if suspensory ligament is torn or damaged?

Can anyone comment on how one can figure out if the "wobbly" base is cause of weak erections versus damaged suspensory ligament?

If I may ask, how did you damage the ligament?
