Ok, hope I am posting this right. Went for the second round of injections. Sat in the Doctors office for 1 1/2 hours before being called back. Nurse said they had an incident earlier is why they were running behind. Ok, now my mind is racing. LOL A little nervous. Numbing shots, played chess on the phone while I waited for the stuff to work. Dr. Keel came in wham bam thank you mam and it was over really quick. First round only one tiny bruise about the size of a pencil point from a needle. This time significant more bruising which is common . Dr. Keel was surprise that I only had the little point bruise from the 1st round. Little tired from my back problems but I tried to do a few things around the house. This could have played into the bruising or not . I know several times I bent a certain way and it hurt so anything is possible. Used the stretcher lightly that evening , quite painful. I forgot to say from the 1st injection I was still very tender when he was checking before the second round. He said this was normal and that it meant the plaque was breaking up. Friday was my appointment and it is now Sunday night. I have been using the stretcher and found that it is getting easier to stretch   between 8-9 inches so some progress noted. Resting length after is 6 -7 inches. Monday morning going in for the modeling session then I believe he said we will wait 2 weeks before the next round of injections. Most of the numbing injections aren't too bad, well not like you would imagine. The worse is the injection into the plaque as it is tougher so more pressure is felt. It can make you tense for a second but survivable. The bruising and slight swelling is on the left side  and about three inches in length. As the days and stretching progress after the second round it has gotten less painful at the beginning of the stretching. I have noticed a reduction in the curve upwards by at least 50% although I have not tried to become completely rigid yet . As usual Dr. Keel said lay off sex for two weeks. I laughed and told him that was no problem with my wife. LOL Though I was nervous I think he did try to lighten the mood some by saying don't worry we'll get you straightened out. What a play on words. I really didn't catch it at the moment as I was preoccupied with what was going on but realized it later. I will say Dr. Keel does put you at ease and explains what he is doing as he proceeds through the treatment. I'll report back after Mondays office visit and fill you all in on the progress. Oh yes he did say that I did not seem to have any calcification so I guess that is a good thing.
