Erection problems and hydrocodone/suboxone

i'm 51 yr old....about 6 years i started taking hydrocodone for pain..which led to my addiction.i was taking about 8 to 10 pills 10mg a day for about 4 years, during that time i started having erection problems...actually i couldnt get an erection..viagra didnt even help....after 4 years i started on a suboxone program and is still taking it.....and through these 6 years i still cant get an erections...there is a little firmness but nothing like it was before..Viagra doesnt help. also once when i was on viagra there was a little firmness but it seems that the tip or below the tip seems to curve when there is a little firmnes.....so now if there is a little erection, it doesnt stick straight out. its more of an arch...also i am a diabetic.....is there anything i can do about this

Hello,
Sexual problem or weakness is also known as erectile dysfunction. The causes are many like diabetes, depression, autonomic nervous system problem, excessive alcohol ingestion or tobacco smoking etc. You may need to consult your doctor to see which amongst these causes are responsible for your problem.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
