So if I understand what you are saying you have no problem with straight traction. Your issue is with the counter bending function with the Restorex. The photo shows that you have buried the white lines which is good, but you have a lot of pain with counter bending. It appears that you have very good tension on your bend, you still have not unlocked it. I would bring this question to Dr Trost's board and see what his response is since he is the creator of it. You must first have 5 meaningful postings first to do that though.

Hi - I'm not on any medical treatment and I'm not using any devices - I've been treating the lump (which has almost disappeared) in the hope of avoiding surgery - i
I'm having great success at this point, and wanted to share my experience.

Penile Implants / Suppleness and softness.
Last post by Aussiemale1973 - March 19, 2024, 11:19:42 PM
Hello everyone.

Since Peyronie's, I have noticed that my penis has become hardened and almost rubbery.....sadly all over.

I am just wondering if anyone can advise if, in the case of an implant, once cycled and settled, they have noticed the previous softness and suppleness of their penis had  returned or if any improvement can be expected.

Any free back appreciated.

Penile Implants / Re: Deciding to get an implant

Dr. Eid is adamant that there is absolutely NO reason to tug on your pump.  He said a pump would NEVER attach to the scrotum unless there is an infection, and if there is an infection, there is only one solution.  In fact, the only time I ever heard him curse was when I suggested that some surgeons say to tug on the pump.  He said it is detrimental to the healing process.

Hi you still have the restorex are you on the USA?

Greeting fellas, I'm currently using the Restorex device for a month recommended by my doctor for fix my curvature caused by Peyronies, but I find it's hard to use that like many guys here on the forum since I'm an Asian with an Average Asian size penis. I'm okay with doing that with a straight traction, i can release the tension rod's lock and achieve 3 click, with some tension but not painful. But once i rotate it downward to fix my upward curvature on the third or forth position, I can't extend tension rod, cuz it's already stretching my penis at it's maximum with 1 click without extending the tension rod and it hurts when I'm just trying to release the lock for the tension rod.

Should I just keep the tension rod locked with 1 click while doing that, or keep it straight the whole time for the traction. 

Warning: Here are some of the pictures of me doing the traction in the downward position.

Quote from: Sebtp1973 on March 19, 2024, 06:26:53 PMWhen you have a curve, it's difficult to see that. It's curving into where the erosion of healthy tissue is, thus "hiding" it or camouflaging it. When you get it straightened, the dent becomes apparent.

I have read Dr Trost say this on the forums. It makes sense, when I manually straighten my erection by hand (I know I shouldn't) the dent is apparent, when it's curved it's difficult to even notice a dent, because of the reasons you described.

Interestingly enough inside my VED when using the cylinder that is sized to my girth, with the snug fit of the cylinder holding my erection straight, the indent does actually fill out. Though this is only when using the VED, not outside of it.

I'm not a doctor, so I might be talking out my arse, but... I think the plaque "eats away" at your healthy tissue. When you have a curve, it's difficult to see that. It's curving into where the erosion of healthy tissue is, thus "hiding" it or camouflaging it. When you get it straightened, the dent becomes apparent. I think a hinge is a more significant dent?

Quote from: boston on March 19, 2024, 06:12:23 PMthere is a void in the tissue at that spot.  And as the OP indicated, Dr. Trost also stated that hinging may last for years. 

Hey man, I remember making that comment lol. It was the same week my doctor told me what's happening to me is Peyronies. I've since learnt exponentially more about it so I'm more familiar with hinging now.

Anyway, that is also concerning to me. How can there be a void in tissue at the spot, and yet the hinging may last for years? How can the hinging resolve, even if after years - does the void 'regrow'? That can't possibly be the case.

I've also seen on this forum Trost mention that he's seen hourglassing improve over time, albeit very slowly, around 5% per year. That also doesn't make much intuitive sense to me, though I'm not doubting that it's true. Is the diseased tissue slowly 'reversing' which makes the hourglass slowly pop back out? Can't be...

I don't expect you to know the answers btw, but if you're in contact with Dr Trost, may be worth asking
