Yes. Patients undergoing cement implantation occasionally
develop serious systemic symptoms, such as hypotension,
hypoxemia, arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, any combination
of these or, at worst, unexpected death, the so-called bone
cement implantation syndrome (BCIS). The occurance of BCIS is known as up to 5%.

Peanuts kill people, but I never saw a peanut getting arrested.
Allergies and "possible side effects" usually only affects a small percentage of the population.

For example, here are the "possible side effects of Aspirin" Aspirin : confusion, convulsions, difficult breathing, loss of consciousness, seizures, yellow eyes and skin, swelling of the face, fingers, or lower legs
Aspirin is a mild over the counter medication and I'm sure that most of us haven't experienced those side effects either. Point is, you might be perfectly fine.

• If you wanted to research it, you could consider looking in to the acidity levels of the shaft (which I assume is quite low) where PMMA is injected and compare it to the amount of acidity that's required to break down PMMA?


• What temperature can an erect penis reach and compare that to the lowest temperature required (and over how much time) before we see chemicals in PMMA unbond and biodegrade?
  For example, when I drink from a water bottle that was left in a hot room, it tastes different to me ...but I assume this is a different chemical composition of PMMA?

I haven't done enough research in to this use for PMMA to feel comfortable about having it done on myself. There are probably a few more questions that I would want answered. That's the only reason why I'm cautious about PMMA. Without having done the research myself, I personally wouldn't get this procedure done based on assumptions alone.

Penuma sounded amazing and I saw no negative reviews, even in the media over the course of many years.... I almost had it done myself. So, I learned not to just take peoples word on things and I try to follow up with a bit of my own research. This forum is filled with a wealth of knowledge, so I'm sure you're fine and maybe someone else here can dispel any doubts with links to the source of their information.

Liberati wrote: Ok that makes sense.

However, what do you think about it's biodegradability over the years?
It really won't break down at all inside the shaft over 50 years or so?

That's my other concern about it. You know with all the talk about plastic and its affect on people's health these days. Then again I probably drank so much bottled water that a little bit more wouldn't hurt
