Hi vince, I feel for you, it must be tough to experience this in your age and still dont know whats the cause of it. If I may give you an advice, dont wait because of money this is nothing you can meassure in $$. I was in the same situation had to pay out of own pocket. Se my topic viewtopic.php?f=6&t=27537 Maybe this can help.
Wish you all the best.

Well, obviously free is better than $12-20 K… but if the government won’t pay for it until you’re 40, I guess the question is what price would you put on the next eight of the prime years of your life?

absolutely, but i still give myself until end of 2026 to convince them. if not, i will have to fly to get it yes.

I think they refuse to do it because at my age it would take at least 4 devices which is a lot of risk..

… and a lot of money. For all the benefits of socialized medicine, one major drawback is that the government doesn’t like to pay for things that it doesn’t have to (though from what guys here say, private health insurance in the US isn’t much better). I didn’t even bother going through my US health insurance company, knowing that at my age they’d probably balk at the idea (or I’d be stuck waiting through a year of appeals). In your case, I have to wonder if there’s not some Canadian health system policy specifying no implants under 40. Period. I’m not sure how the system works up there though. Maybe there is a lawyer or patient advocacy group that specializes in appealing these types of decisions you could talk to?

Man 32, (turning 33 soon). Live in Canada (quebec province).

After reading your story, one question comes to mind… have you tried intracavernosal injections (e.g. TriMix)? If not, it's a zero-to-low risk that seems like a "what do you have to lose?" scenario.
