Glad to see you back with us and doing so well! You have a great doctor. Dr. Steinburg did my neo over 3 and a half years ago and I have had no problems. As far as the ED, I agree with Mike that it can take a year or more for the nerves to heal. Hope things improve for you in that area in the future.

Tiny,

Glad you are doing well! Not sure what to say on the ED. The shots are pretty expensive also (but they work better than anything I've tried) but even then they typically prescribe low dose of Viagra or Cialis to go along with it as it helps with blood flow which is of critical importance.

My doc says it can take three years or more for things to work effectively without additional measures being taken.
