    I wish I had given massage more of a try. But, I was like you. I was in so much pain I just wanted it out. Have had children yet? I think you should take care of that issue first bc you will be absolutely infertile once the prostate is out.

    I've had the worst results of anyone I know so far. Over a year and still not as good as b4 surgery. I am getting better but very slowly.100% continent but no natural erections yet. Got horrible side effects with Cialis and Viagra and they didn't work. Have had great results with Trimix but you have to inject yourself with it. You also have to experiment with the dosage but 5mcg seems to do the trick for me. I get usable erections for about 40 minutes. I also still leak urine on orgasm. But they say that goes away with time.

    It's just taking a long time. The pain isn't nearly as intense as but it does interfere with my life. I had complications, though. About 3-1/2 weeks in I had bad bleeding and was on a 3-way catheter for 2 days. When I got home the pain was way worse than right after surgery. I often wonder how my recovery would have been if not for that. My discomfort is mainly scrotal with some congestion and pain. I no longer have the through the roof pain and have cut back on painkillers. It all started in April of 2011 with epidydimitis in my left testicle. By the time the abscess had settled down I had full blown CP. I had this before back in the mid-90's where it has lasted 3 years. When I heard of Dr K I started making arrangements to see him. Another killer was the flight back home. Had to change planes twice and it took 11 hours. Wish I'd stayed in Florida at least another week before leaving.

    Yeah, that's my only option. Thanks, John. Btw, have you talked to Nick Muff or Bob Patterson?

    There's also that Nik guy who is also in the UK.
