Well here's one for the books, so Doug get ready to change your pad  tongue    I go into see my urologist today to get my first Trimix shot for ED, and yes I'm freaking out about having a needle in my penis let alone having a grown man playing with my soon to be erection. So, I get the shot .2cc and off I go with a beautiful bouncing boy, ah what a wonderful sight. Well be careful what you wish for. skull

As the seconds, minutes, hours go by I'm not laughing anymore and it's like someone has put my johnson in a clamp and started to try and get blood out of a turnip.

So, hi ho back to Duke I go. As of hour 4 1/2 I am laying on a table getting ready to have 1 small needle and 2 needles that looked to be at least a foot long confused place into the diamond cutter. Well after the almost painless procedure Mr. Johnson is back to his post PCa surgery size and much happier and so am I.

The plus out of today's excersise is - .2cc is not a lot so the Dr. think's I have some "good stuff in there". The next step is to make another appt. with my Dr. to receive another dose of Trimix, but only .1cc.

In closing it was nice to see my best friend again even though we had to sedate the crazy ******.

Hi kdnole,

Sorry you had a painful experience with the Trimix. This is another testimonial that some docs who try to go by the book in our treatment get it wrong. I found that .1 ml was way too much and had to cut it to .02 and work my way up in order to avoid the pain and get the erections to come down in a reasonable time. I don't understand why docs don't start low and work up.

Also, not having erections for an extended period then suddenly getting a "diamond cutter" really is a shock to junior down there. He was a lot happier to get hard after a few times using the shots.

Good luck...

Jim

Well, maybe if it was bigger the bigger dosage wouldn't have been an issue devil   That'll teach you to boast a big one. hehe

Seriously, these things can be scary when they don't go according to plan.  I'll heed the story and encourage my doc to start out slowly.  Dr. Catalona recommends starting on injections 6-8 weeks post surgery and feels the blood flow is helpful to the ED rehab.

The .20 cc's is a lot for a starter. Good greif, you would think that a urologist would know better. Now that you have survived several inkections in a short period of time the ones in the future should not be very tough. As already mentioned after not having any erections for a while those first few do cause a little discomfort.

I agree that it was painful but, it was a beautiful day for at least an hour. Next time he wants to cut that dosage to .1cc., I'm thinking .05cc.
No comments 41. :-)

Kdnole- Know exactly what you mean about seeing the guy standing up for the first time in a while, makes you feel like shouting out to the world "Look what I got!" I just started the tri-mix, did my first injection by myself .05, good result, alittle aching but I agree with those who say its probably because the little guy has been resting for so long. My doc recommends 3 times week. yeah
