I think I am done with injections. It just hurts too bad to continue, even with pain killers. I think i will complain to my doc about pain and lumps. Hopefully,i can just get them removed.

I, like others posting here, found that switching to 95% alcohol speeded up the process considerably and resulted in less trauma due to the decreased number of injections. What other possible harmful reactions there are I can't speak to since I didn't have any that I can tell, other than those that I had hoped to achieve.

The injections are working. Up until my last one I have had

hardly any pain. Last time the pain felt like I jammed the bois

with an ice pick. It was terrible

I have a buddy who is going to give

me some smaller needles; I hope they work better than the 25ga ones I

an using now

On another note, I told the dic doc that they were very painful,

akin to a tooth ache. He is sending me to an endrocrinoligst for evaluation.

I hope that it works out well

Stacy, if you quit injecting, please stay active on this thread so we

will know how you are doing

AM I YOU?

How small did they get before becoming too painful to inject?

Right one had reduced it's swelling and wasn't feeling as tender today so I stuck it with 1cc. It took it well with no discomfort, I think my scrotum is getting used to the anbesol tho seems to take a lot more to numb it than it used to (I don't like the needle poking through sensation) Kinda funny too, I was on the phone with my boss at the same time helping him with the new computer system.

Mine was the size of a grape when I did my final shot. It was extremely painful and I didn't go through with the injection. I later assumed that the needle poked through to the epididymus from reading others' comments on this site but I don't really know what caused it. Before then, I experienced very little problems.

How long does it take to kill them off?

I'm kinda curious if after they've atrophied and hardened if any further atrophying can be caused by restricting blood flow ie short-mid term banding (15 mins to an hourish) I'd be much happier if I could get them down to about the size of a pea thus eliminating any chance of their survival.

Well, in my agressive mood, I went ahead and injected the left one again today, I got about 7/10ths a cc into it, no pain, but it kinda felt like the alcohol was seeping out, also, the appearance through the scrotum appeared kinda dark while looking for the right injection spot on the scrotum. Hopefully it's dying/dead, I can put quite a bit of pressure on the cord and get a minimal dull ache. I may let the left one sit for a week or two and see what develops. As for the right one, I'll inject it again in a couple days or so.

I have been injecting Vodka into my balls since April (wow). My balls are hard now and it is next to impossible to get any volume into them.Maybe they are dead!:) Yet my total testosterone level shows that I am in the low but normal range for men. :(I will be seeing my GP in a few days and get a referral to a Urologist.

It is slow using Vodka. But unlike many I kinda like sticking a needle into my balls. Reading all the comments on this thread is encouraging.
