Q: I'm 4 month pre-op from a robotic protatectomy. Using Trimix but it is painful as the meds work.

Will my body get used to this, so there will be no pain? Age 62

I am working my way up on dosage with Trimx (.05ml) more each time as my doctor precribed in order to achieve a hard enough erection for intercourse. I'm at 0.3ml. The pain seems to be a little less than when I first started. I've only injected 7x over 2 months rather than the 2 to 3 times per week as recommended. I've been a chicken because of the pain, but I do want the trimix to work. The Dr. precribed Bimix for less pain, but before I try that I want to come to a difinitive conclusion about trimix, because he said the trimix is the better of the two.

I've also heard about edex but I think that has the ingredient that causes the pain (protaglandic E, or Alprostadil). I also use a pump to get the blood flowing. But that is venial blood not arterial. I am afraid of scare tissue by not being proactive enough.

Your comments please.

I think anytime you take an injection it is going to hurt. As for your body getting used to it, I guess this would depend on you and your pain tolerance. I have had to take injections for years and even though I am used to it now, it still hurts. I also read that the medication you are taking is also less painfull than others. But let me say I can't imagine taking an injection below the waist would feel good at all, so I am sorry for that.

I have also read that there is a TriMix-gel maybe this is another option. I put the URL in the text for you. I hope this helps and I hope the pain gets more tollerable for you. BB
