Do I have ED? Is PE=ED? Its noted in 2003 directly secondary to my back by a VA doctor, but I didn't claim it becaue I didnt think I could. Can I claim sexual dysfunction as ED? My wife is awaiting an answer on this one......I'm currently taking Gabapentin, Meloxicam, Prednisone. (In the last week or so, I started). I have DDD, way down (l5-S1, L2-3, L4-5).

I finally told my own doctor about the issues my wife and I have been having the other day, and asked if my back can be causing that, going back to reporting it to a VA Doc in 2003. (soft erections, now PME). She looked at my records, MRI's, and xrays, asked a lot of uncomfortable questions, and prescribed me Paxil as a means of staving off the happy ending. She said that the level of nerve/discs that I have problems with could most definately cause problems with PME, and if not that, then the medication that im taking could mess with overall libido and function as well. She said since im 33 there shouldn't be 'issues' there, normally, and she knows from both my wife and me that we had a healthy sex life-not for lack of trying, anyway.

See your local, not VA, urologist and ask for help with ED/PME. If he tells you about the latest and greatest prothesis (implant) my advice is go for it man!

Email me for further discussion.
