I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2008 and following problems with erectile disfunction fitted with an AMS LGX700 Penile Implant in July 2013. Loads has happened and is going to happen to me and if by doing this I can help another person, partner or family who is going through a similar thing, that's cool. Have a good read from the start, check the archives and any questions, please just ask.

Brilliant Day
I have just got back from London, been to The British Society for Sexual Medicine, did a 45 minute question and answer session with 100 or so GP's/Surgeons and health professionals.
It gave me the chance to tell it from a patients point of view - I was made to feel so welcome. It was a brilliant day and lots of really positive feedback.
Have a good weekend.

Inflation Difficulties
The other day I did something to my neck, pulled a muscle and/or trapped nerve. Not too painful but it has gone down my right arm to the muscle in my forearm.
Even though I am left handed I squeeze the pump for my implant with my right hand - the only thing I do right handed - and it is making inflating uncomfortable and to some extent difficult as I do not seem to have as much strength in my hand at the moment.
Up to now inflating has been easy but it has got me to thinking that as I get older it may not always be that way.
I have tried using my left hand to squeeze the bulb and it's like starting again. The bulb is slippery, difficult to control and I can't squeeze hard enough to even get it to "pop".
I am going to keep alternating left and right handed in the hope that it will get easier - after all they say practise makes perfect.
I do think it would have been worth in the early stages to have alternated - just a thought!
I will let you know how my becoming ambidextrous goes...
All the best
