Hello out there.

Hi there,
I'm a first-time forum user and thought I'd say hello. I'm 64, fit healthy and prior to the first surgery had never been in hospital. This journey started back in 2022 with a TURP procedure that has morphed into 12 further procedures and surgeries. This has included numerous urethral dilations, rigid cystoscopies, a buccal graft urethroplasty, an artificial sphincter implantation, and revision surgery. Today, I am looking down the barrel of further intervention. The physical and mental toll has been enormous. I suffer from neuropathic nerve pain from over-traction during the urethroplasty, for which I take daily medication, and I see a psychologist monthly to help combat the PTSD-like symptoms I've developed. I've also struggled with ED as a result. I have tried pelvic physio, pumps, rings, pills of all sorts, and Trimix injections that unfortunately resulted in a visit to the ER with priapism. I'm considering going down the penile implant route, but my confidence level for a successful outcome based on past history I'm not loving the odds.
