Hi, I am new to this forum and a huge thanks to Dick Limmpen for hosting and contributing to the knowledge base about shockwave therapy.
A little background on myself. I am 68 years old and physically active. 5’10” 190 lbs.    I lift Weights 2x per week, 1x per week aerobic kickboxing, indoor softball, golf, etc. I have had ED for +10 years & oral meds are getting much less effective, best erection level 3 about 60% of time. Level 3 morning wood only  ~1x per week.    BPH (enlarged prostate) for 15 years, SR  Uroxatral becoming less effective for frequent & slow urination. PSA ~ 10, 4K score less than 10%. 3 negative prostate biopsy’s. Prostate volume = 66cc.    High Blood Pressure under control with meds (alpha blocker & diuretic). Taking Testosterone for last 18 months under Dr’s care, total T level ~ 800.  Recent inguinal hernia & surgery has stopped my pumping for 6 months & I lost the .75” I had gained.
Looked into Gainswave locally & was quoted $3000 for 8 treatments. Then I found this page.  I am retried from pharmaceutical engineering and for ~$400 I am going to get a machine & try it myself.  Lots of clinicals out there show it to be effective for many other ailments other than ED.   I bought an E bay acquired Gttnha  HL 1602 shockwave therapy machine, scheduled delivery 2/20.
I plan to learn from Yobro’s overzealous experiences and start low (MJ energy) and conservative (# of shocks) with no damage or setbacks.  If it takes a little longer to safely get optimal results, I am willing to wait. I am looking for a good conservative recommended starting point for a first 3 week treatment schedule?  Would that be the Sirini protocol?  300 shocks for both cura, top, middle, & bottom of penis - total shocks = 1500 per treatment, 2 Hz @ 85 MJ settings (General output mode – 2 files=2Hz, 10 gear = 85 MJ)    2 treatments per week for 3 weeks
Any direction is appreciated before lift off! thanks Silverbullit

I hear the blood pressure medicine is hell on erections, My pressure tried to get high and I immediately went vegan...well near vegan for 2 months and knocked 20 points off..my doctor was shocked. 
I didn't want the pills.

My Ginha 1602 never came!!  E bay seller vipstore888 ad claims there is 100% US stock, but took my money & said he has a shipment coming and asked I wait.  He also has current multiple ads for the same machine claiming US 100% in stock.  He could not give me a delivery date so I am trying to cancel but communicating with a Chinese supplier is like talking to a 3 year old and because of the time difference you lose a day per communication. Filed a complaint with E bay which usually works to get your money back quick. I wanted to buy from someone who had stock in the US to avoid any customs hold ups but it looks like that backfired.

That royally sucks. This is why Chinese companies have a bad reputation. They aren't very honest if it's to their advantage to be dishonest.  I had to process the return of two defective handles and it was slooooow. Luckily Ebay should back you up.

Got the Ginha 1602 today.  It was expedited ship directly from China. No paper work or instructions included.   General observations -  Tried various hz settings & power settings just impacting my hand.  A little painful at 2 hz & 105MJ.  As I increased the Hz it became less painful at the same MJ settings.  The 105MJ seemed like way too much for little Elvis at the Sirini protocol of 2Hz. I see now why the Gainswave folks use higher Hz at their + 3 bar (+120 MJ)  sessions.   In addition to treating myself for ED. I am using the machine for a strained knee  minicus & a constantly stiff neck & trapezius muscles that restrict my ability to turn my head. 
Pumped for 5 minutes to plum up the penis & Did my first ED  treatment  with the 15mm black tipped head condom covered@ 3Hz 65 MJ for 2100 shocks on the penis shaft (700 each at 120 degrees) A little painful but bearable.   Total energy delivered = 136.5 Joules                                                                          I have been reading clinicals on BPH & radial shockwaves, here is  a study that has some impressive results reducing residual bladder volume & increasing flow rates.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6440046/     The treatment was on the cura, just like the ED protocols so I figured I would try & get 2 birds with one stone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXPDG06FMJc To go a little deeper to get the prostate, I used the white concave 15 mm head with the blue plastic cover @ 10 Hz kept the  65 MJ & did 500 shocks left & right sides @ 30 degrees & 1000 shocks in the center total = 130 Joules It was bearable.   Grand total Joules for the ED treatment = 236.5 Joules.  Well below the 396 Joules that got Yobro in trouble & under  Dick Limpen's treatments that add up to 270 Joules.  

With the other treatments i did today, I put the machine thru +10000 pulses & 750 Joules of output without a hitch. I let the machine cool down between treatments.  The head never got above 32 C. So far, so good. My plan is to do 3 weeks on, 3 weeks off, & another 3 weeks to finish before going on maintenance treatments as needed.

Hi.  I just found this site today.  70 years old, divorced for 12 years.  Prostate cancer in 2006.  Radiation treatment.  Slight Peyronies,  heart disease, blood pressure controlled by low dose medication. Visited peak performance last week.  They tell me I am a candidate for their shock wave treatment. Viagra, etc not working. Almost certain of venous leaking. PP wants $5000.  Today I ordered a $50 Roscoe 1000 unit to experiment with.  Did I waste my 50.00?    I am looking forward to this forum and the information that is sure to come.
