Hi @beachflyer. Your experience sounds a lot like mine. I had RARP just over 15 months ago. I also still had mild ED (80% - 90%) at 12 months. I just wanted to let you know that I made another improvement around 14 months and now (at 15 months) I feel I'm back to pre-surgery capability. I take daily 5mg Cialis (generic) and 100mg Viagra (generic) an hour before on an empty stomach. So don't give up yet and it definitely took me longer than 12 months to get back to pre-surgery capability. Hopefully you'll also continue to improve and get back to pre-surgery as well. Best wishes.

Hello Retireditguy,

Thank you so much for the comment, it means a lot as no one prepares you for this phase of recovery and not
much is said in these forums about recovery plateaus. Seems like things improve and then level off leaving you wondering if that was all she wrote. I will stay with the rehab stuff and daily cialis. Thanks again, you made my day.
