For Erectile Dysfunction "Jack, I have the same experience. Worked like a charm in the beginning, but now it's like I only get a little swollen but not hard. I even tried to inject a total of 60 mcg, but still no real effect. In the beginning, it was a total blast. But something happened, and now it doesn't seem to work."

For Erectile Dysfunction "The last four Edex injections I used did not work; they just made me swollen! With no stiffness at all! You would think that something so expensive would work! It works on one's ego, and self-confidence is really hard to deal with, not to mention embarrassing! So, why are they not working?"

For Erectile Dysfunction "Used for about 4 months on a weekly basis, found that erection was zero. Apart from a little swelling in the girth, length never changed. No pain before or after use."
