Hi, This is a little embarrassing, but I believe I have Peyronie's Disease. About a third towards the tip is bent about 45 degrees or more  when hard. and an hourglass shape about the middle. I have had a multitude of medical problem; Relapsing Polycondritis in 2010, Hart Attack with a quadruple bypass in 2014 and colon cancer in 2016.
    I am on a bunch of medications beta blockers and blood presser meds that has caused ED, and Viagra dosen't work very well.  I don't have sex very often, I guess my wife doesn't find me sexy after all the medical stuff, and also she is going through the change and sex is the last thing she wants.
    We had sex, the first time in a couple of months, and that is I noticed a bend. there  has never been a bend before, I could hardly get it in. A couple of days ago I took some Viagra and the bend was worse I would say greater than 45 degrees and now hour glass shape also, and I am a lot shorter. I have always been straight as an arrow.
    I don't know if I can take another illness.....I haven't healed from the last one yet. It seems as sex has always been my go to (masturbation? to make myself feel better, now I can't even do that.
   Now I'll try to quit feeling sorry for myself.today..... I call a uro today for an appointment, 4 different times and left V.M. with no call back, and that was one I picked at random from my Insurance list. How do you find a good uro? That would be up on all my medical conditions and medications?

Try to find a peyronies specialist ASAP.  You can start here, if no one nearby let us know where you are located and maybe someone will know a good doc.  Expect an ultrasound to confirm the plaque, but it certainly has all the signs of peyronies.  The earlier you catch this the better the prognosis.  Ask the doc, or even your PCP for pentox 400mg x 3/day, daily low dose cialis at bedtime and consider traction or VED.  Ptlrotocols for those in the website here.  There's xiaflex injections but most docs won't start until at least 6 months after peyronies hits.  There are other recommended supplements listed here as well.  Good luck, with persistent treatment many make progress.  My curve has decreased by 30 degrees at least allowing me to jerk off niw.

The worsening bend with Viagra is probably what your bend really is, because Viagra is allowing you to get to full erection.  Absolutely search this site for a Peyronies doctor, I think I have seen guys talk about Tenn.  Some of the issues I believe are mental, we get this condition, it really shakes us to the core, and we feel very alone.  I found starting to be proactive with finding a doctor, starting traction, etc, helped me a lot with understanding this was not going to take over my life.  No guarantee's on treatment, unfortunately, but you can manage a lot of this and feel a lot better about it.  

Also, take your partner with you when you visit your Peyronies doc.  I saw two different docs and they both explained things to me and my wife, and it helped her understand that this is likely a hereditary condition, and now she fells like she is in this with me.
