get on the pentox - it helps with the pain - my pain was so bad that i used to rip the hair under my arms as hard as I could just to take my mind of it - Id bang my head, stub my toe, graze my knee, get dumped on a wave into the sand, fly to london return ( economy class), eat staples, watch friends (on tv), do my own tax return....ALL to stop thinking about the peri pain SO get onto the pentox as it helped me....

Sorry to hear that you are having this pain problem with your Peyronies Disease. Pentox is available by prescription only in the USA, so you would need to ask your doctor/uro for one. Some are reluctant to prescribe it for Peyronies Disease, so you may have to argue with him/her to get it.

Tell your doctor about the forum and the success that guys are having with use of the Pentox. It is also known at Trental. Some countries around the world do not require a prescription for it if you live outside of the USA.

Some one who has used the med will surely jump in here with more information for you. As far as it known at the moment, there is no definite "cure" for Peyronies Disease only getting it to an arrested state. In the meantime, if you have not seen a uro or doctor for your case, by all means see one as soon as possible.

Where and how do I get Pentox? Also, is that to say that if I am still in pain now, that there is no cure or solution at all? B/c I still have some pain.

I would give Pentox a try first and give it a good long time (ie a year) to help.

If the lesions are stable, and the pain goes away (as it almost always does) then you should be able to decide what is the best choice for you.

However, if the pain is there or if the lesions keep on worsening, then surgery will not help as it will progress after surgery as well.

Unfortunately, waiting is really important. I would use Pentox for sure.

I am a 28 year old guy who developed Peyronie's disease about 2.5 to 3 years ago. I started noticing some small changes in erection quality before that time and have always had some curvature, but after an incident about 2.5 years ago I really started to notice some drastic changes. I have tried every pill imaginable (Viagra, Arginine, vitamin e, among others) as well as Verapamil treatments(no longterm help whatsoever, in fact I am still trying to decide if verapamil treatments actually may have worsened the problem. Now, I have erection problems and am in near constant pain when I do have erections. I havent had a fully ''normal'' erection in over 2 years and rarely enjoy sex anymore (I used to be the horniest guy too). My penis has lost some length and has a considerable girl loss along the shaft, which I hate b/c I used to have good girth. I am good physical health besides this, and like it has for many, has in some aspects ruined my life. Lucky for me, my girlfriend (and she is a very horny girl) seems to still really enjoy sex with me. But for me, sex is not so enjoyable anymore and I could see it causing problems in the future due to me being really depressed about it. I am at the point I have no clue at all what to do....I mean do I wait and try surgery?? There are so many potential complications from it and the recovery sounds horrible (although at this point Id do it for a guarantee it would work). Then, there is also the extreme cost associated with it. If anybody has an advise and even alternative suggestions to surgery that are not extremely costly, I am all ears. Thanks all.
