I used them a few times, and it does work. I had the 20mcg injection
syringe and only used about 10mcg of it on the first try. You can set
the syringe to 10, 15, and 20mcg doses I believe. You can also use
Viagra, Levitra, etc with them so I was told by my doctor, although I
did not use them together. It is not one of the most pleasent of
sensations while you actually insert the needle into Willie, but it
really does not hurt. It takes about 15 minutes or so to work. The
needle is very small and sharp and not much fluid needs to be injected.
I think you can get even smaller needles if you want.
Be prepared to walk around with an erection for an hour or longer. The
feeling is a bit wierd at first, and sometimes there may be some unusual
sensations during the "erection" period.

i tried the injection once so far.the first injection is done with the help
or i should say guidence of a nurse in the office. the needle is very fine
and doesn't hurt hardly at all. my first erection lasted about 2 and a half
hours. it takes about 15 minutes to engorge as they like to say and for me
it worked rather well. after about an hour i started to feel discomfort i
guess due to the fact in my oppinion that the ureathra is a little bit
shorter than it used to be but the cavernosa that engorges with blood is
still the same size thus streatching the ureathra slightly.
for me it is for now my only option since viagra and the other shaft
hardeners do not work for me. also i think better than the pump.
hope you find your way to the penis pallace.

also the nurse told me that taking viagra or the like within 24 hours would
be fatal.

Colophony (what does that mean?) has received answers from men who know
more about this than I do.

What I'm wondering is why the hell his medic didn't cover these topics.

Never mind, I think I have a good idea why....

Dear Steve,
definition:Pine Resin (Colophony)
Pine resin has a mild citruslike, green, balsamic fragrance. Native
Americans used pine in their incense mixtures and chewed it to treat throat
infections. They also used the resin to heal wounds and bruises
In the ancient book, Natural Science, Hildegard von Bingen wrote of pine:
"The pine tree is more warm than cold and contains energies and powers. The
tree is a symbol for strength."
I hope the above satisfies your curiosity re meaning of colophony which is
my nick name.
Now please satisfy my curiosity regarding your idea why doctors do not tell
thing as they are.
Regards
Colophony

Experience, both personal and reports from others.

Of course, this does not apply to 100% of medics. Some, perhaps many, do
their entire jobs rather than act as mere mechanics.

a)  Yes
b)  Yes, but I worked slowly up to the useful dosage.
c)  No -- I never got over the fact that I was injecting into my penis, but
it was never painful.
