It has been some time since I posted. In February my husband started the trimix injections. The NP did an injection at the 5 mark and his erection lasted almost 3 hours and hurt. She told him not to use more and he never has. The problem now is since then the successfullness of the injections has been sparse. The NP injected on the left side and in our recollection it has not been successful since. On the right side it has varied, getting less and less successful overall. I am deeply concerned. We have watched videos, read books and watched intently that he injects in the right place. He does 4-5 on the needle fyi. He is also starting to leak again the last few times he has done the injection. One of the things I am concerned about is blood flow. He never bleeds from the needle...only 1 time at the beginning and since then nothing. He says he feels the medicine surging, first on the left and now on both sides. He can get an erection if he stands. If he remains standing it is about 75%. If he sits or lays or tries to have sex standing, immediately it goes to 0. I am also worried about scarring. He does not inject in the same place every time, I have watched him. It is pretty close to the middle though every time. Last night he said it was hard to inject and even harder to push in the plunger. From reading it sounds like there is scarring.
If there is scarring is there anything he can do? If it is blood flow is there anything he can do? I am frustrated with the stupid doctors. They seem to care so little about this. When things stopped working on the left side he emailed the NP and she said he was not injecting properly. Now since it is not working on the right side I told him to email her back again with the details. He is so damaged mentally right now he said he was not going to email her because he thinks he needs to increase the dose and let me do the injection. I am so very worried about his psyche over this. He keeps apologizing to me and makes fun of his penis all the time now. Him demoralizing himself hurts more than him not getting an erection. The covid-19 thing in the US has impacted us in ways I can't even begin to explain, though I am sure the rest of you are dealing with the same thing. He has also stopped using the pump (almost 2 months now). I know he is stressed and we have a special needs adult child at home who we are getting absolutely no help with so our life revolves around him and his autistic ways of not sleeping, screaming, meltdowns and being overstimulated and p****d because he doesn't understand what is going on. I know this may play some factor but I don't think it is the only reason.
Please help with what next steps would be good for my husband to take. As always I appreciate this forum and feedback.
