<p>No, the epididymitis got it all started. The CP began about 2 to 3 months afterwards. I didn't have the same problems as you. The pain was always about 20% perineal, 80% scrotal. But I never felt sick or had other issues. Driving was no problem before but terrible after the surgery.</p>

<p>I use the injections. The syringe is a very small gauge and I don't have a problem with it. I know others do. There is Trimix Gel (I'll find the guy for you) and you inject it down your urethra. I find this doesn't work as well as the injections and I can't control the dosage as with the shots. But another friend I met on here swears by the gel.</p>

<p>I had very little scrotal pain - mostly perineal and penis. Also felt like lightening flying out my penis when I ejaculated. I bought a device from aneros for self massaging and I think it helped a little. Problem is you are only getting to the "back side" of the prostate. I was getting stuff out of my prostate that kind of looked like it was congealed - not fluid.

<p>This was my second go round with CP. I had it for 3 years when I was in my 30's. The doctor said it was probably a bacteria from the anus so likely anal sex, too. My pain wasn't as bad as some but if I tried to do any physical activity, I would be in agony after. Very little perineal pain, mostly scrotal.

There is a woman here in town that does prostate massage and I wish I had been more patient with her. My orgasms aren't nearly as good as b4. The odd one can be pretty intense, though. I also urinate a bit when I come. Plus, I miss ejaculating. I'm using the pump to try to get my missing length back. There is a young guy from England, on here, who had the operation and he says his erections came back and he wasn't shorter, after. He and another buddy of mine who had the surgery for cancer, are the only ones I've talked to who still have natural erection.

<p>Dennis, I can have an orgasm and probably better than before - when I had prostatitis. Dr k did do the procedure. I have heard about the trimix and would like to try it. I hear some say that it is painful and not worth it. Your thoughts? I to am shorter by about the same as you - which is not good when you don't have a lot to work with anyway.

I had this dreadful stuff for about nine years and believe I got it from anal sex with a lady I knew and was a very healthy woman. I guess bacterial but could never get a doctor to send sample to lab. My prostate swelled up so much that I really wanted to just die. Felt terrible, sick, and never ejaculated the same way again. lost jobs, relationships, and even myself. But I do feel better now. Sorry that you do not</p> Hi, John.

<p>Hi, John. I had the procedure in January of 2012. I was worse off post-op and am still in a bit of discomfort. Dr. K did it. I don't know what I would have done without Percocet. Still 100% impotent but I use Trimix and that gives very hard erections. I'm 100% continent, which is a relief. I'm also about 1-1/2 inches shorter, flaccid and erect. Overall, wish I hadn't done it.

I'm currently seeing a pain specialist which has helped a bit. I'm also using a pump, Trimix and a device I saw on The Doctors called a Viberect. The inventor is very confident this will help most people get natural erections. Another benefit of this device is you can have orgasms using it. I'm pretty sure I've had the worst results of anyone in this group. Everyone I know who has had a prostatectomy was ok after the surgery. Although, all of us are impotent.

<p>I had the surgery in October 2011. It took about seven months for me to get over the surgery and anxiety that the surgery caused me. I was continent from day one after having catheter removed. Felt much better within seven months as I stopped keeping a daily diary of my progress. I do occasionally feel some irritation in the area but nothing like I had before the surgery.

<p>I had the surgery in October 2011. It took about seven months for me to get over the surgery and anxiety that the surgery caused me. I was continent from day one after having catheter removed. Felt much better within seven months as I stopped keeping a daily diary of my progress. I do occasionally feel some irritation in the area but nothing like I had before the surgery. I still do not get erections and was hopeful that I would since I had no problems with continance. No pills will help as I've tried all of them. I can use a pump and ring to maintain a "small" erection but not sure if I could penetrate or for how long. I think the pump may also contribute to the irritation. Overall, I am a much happier and healthy person today. I can sit with relative comfort for long periods of time. I am not sick as the devil as I was before. Glad I got the procedure. One thing, Doctor K does not believe in pain meds but I do believe he should re-consider. Pain and or anxiety medication should be prescribed for at least six months post surgery. Probably anxiety more than anything. This is a major surgery and should be taken seriously.
