How to manage pain of injections after prostatectomy

My boyfriend had a prostatectomy about 2 years ago. Viagra , cialis did not work. The injections he’s been using are working but are tender and painful . Any suggestions ? Thank you

  1. Hi I am glad you reached out. I am happy to hear the injections are helping him, although I wish he wasn't experiencing pain. While I do hope our community members respond with their personal suggestions, I would also encourage him to reach out to his doctor, if he hasn't already, to let them know and see what they would recommend. We are here for you and your boyfriend. Jill, prostatecancer.net team

    1. Thank you--his doctor said he just has to get used to it but i'm wondering if changing the medication would help or something thats numbing. Thank you!
