Its only been 2 weeks and my soreness is gone. I am still waiting for my energy level and sex drive to return. My doctor told me it takes about 2 to 3 weeks for the first injection to take affect.

50 year old male, testosterone 326, first implant by physician, 8 - 75mg, site sore 30 days, extruded one pellet, after 2 months 356, disapointing. 2nd implant done by RN at HRC, 8 - 200mg, sore 4 days, no problem, in fact easy 5 mins. I think the first implant was done improperly because the 2nd one was and is easy. Waiting for the next test to see how my rate is rising, not too much improvement ... Show Full Comment

I think it will be great later!

What a nightmare! Do not subject youself to this procedure.  I recently had Testopel implanted at the suggestion of my Doc.

What a nightmare! Do not subject youself to this procedure.  I recently had Testopel implanted at the suggestion of my Doc. This began a 12 month disaster that first started with a very very painful 6" bruise at the injection site that lasted 21 days. After that, each of the 12! Pellets slowly worked their way back through the original site or through the fat and skin on my rear to  be ejected in a painful bloody mess. It took nearly 10 months for everthing to be rejected. I had little or no increase in total or free T. I wasn't able to sit comfortably, and I still can feel particles and scar tissue in "injection tracks" under my skin. I fear this is permanent.  I believe my doctor performed the procedure as correctly as possible and the problem is with the product itself and a vast amount of marketing lies by the drug company. Even if the results were better, I could never imagine going through this every 6-8 months. If you need another option other than gel, stick with simple T injections you can do yourself at home every 2 weeks. No pain or recovery, plus you van feel the results in increased energy etc immediately. The cost is almost zero compared to the Testopel or Gel. Take my word for it. Don't do it uness you are into pain and permanent scars. Feel free to contact me if you want more info. [email protected]

Had 8 pellets inserted in my butt 5 mos ago. A month later one came to the surface and was very uncomfortable, like a giant splinter when you put pressure on it. Dr removed and a month after that another piece of a pellet had to be removed for same reason. The sight is still bruised. The positive side was the increase in energy. Erections increased in frequency and effectiveness. I just had blood ... Show Full Comment

Had 8 pellets inserted in my butt 5 mos ago. A month later one came to the surface and was very uncomfortable, like a giant splinter when you put pressure on it. Dr removed and a month after that another piece of a pellet had to be removed for same reason. The sight is still bruised. The positive side was the increase in energy. Erections increased in frequency and effectiveness. I just had blood test and was told today that more pellets will now have to be added to bring the T-level back up again. I am told that this next round of insertions will require me to turn the other cheek :-)
