@brettiquette On my syringe, I can go up to 30 units, with 5 being the lowest dose shown. I’ve found the best results come from injecting about one-third to halfway up from the base, at the same angle shown in the image.
I was spared one set of nerves, but I don’t think I’ll ever get an erection on my own again. At my age, that’s been the hardest part to accept. My wife and I had a great sex life before surgery, and we’re doing our best to keep things going. Still, it’s frustrating to go through all these mechanical steps for something that once came so easily.
My doctor thought I might need 10 units or more since one nerve bundle was removed, so I don’t think it’s unusual to have to slowly increase the dosage until you start seeing results. Maybe someone else can share what dose they’re using and what process works best for them.
I was really fighting the idea of starting ADT, but I’m coming to terms with it. My Decipher score was high, and Sloan Kettering wants me to stay on ADT for 12 to 18 months while I go through radiation. Trying to eat right, exercise and ignore the fact that I am losing testosterone daily...ugh. Fist bump back at you '67!

@tj1967
Thanks for the diagram, what kind of dose does this look like to you on my syringe?
I was told to work my way up from 1 (10) up to 6ish (60).
