Hubby restarted taladafill on half dose 7 days ago with no adverse effects, so that’s a relief. However, we don’t know yet if any nerves were sparred during surgery.

I found tadalafil messed with my head a lot and had no discernible impact on my erections for at least six months. Probably for similar reasons to the pains some of you have reported. For this reason I switched to pump only for my rehab - satisfies the need to keep the tissues healthy, with the added bonus of no head or body aches - and the pleasure of having my old friend back to full size.

After about a year I tried the tadalafil again and it did help with erections - but at the same cost in woozy achy head, a lot like a hangover that lasted nearly a day at a time. Eventually realised that dynafil (generic Viagra) was worth trying because it wears off quicker. I found that 25 mg of dynafil works well for me - helps me with good strong erections and the headache/hangover only lasts 4 hours max.

Im looking at surgery which wont spare nerves so no erections unless I have VED ( vacuum pump ) or something called ICI ( Penile injections _)

Any one had experience of either of these treatments post surgery ?

Any advice

The pump should be used for penile rehab, but you have to wait for healing first, typically something like 8 weeks after catheter out but ask your surgeon.

Some people also use the pump for sex, but others find it unsatisfactory for that.

ICI (Intra Cavernosal Injections) are a standard method when nerves are not working. PDE5 inhibitors won't work, but it's probably worth trying 100mg Sildenafil just occasionally, as for a small percentage of men with no nerve sparing, it turns out they didn't remove all the nerves, or after about 3 years, they occasionally regrow.
