Here is my play by play:

February 2009- Woke up one morning with a noticeable curve (thought it was worse than it is)

March 2009- Woke up with severe pain during erection and flaccid states

April 2009- Went to urologist, not diagnosed, prescribed motrin

Summer 2009- Flaccid pain ends, erection pain remains

August 2009- Went to different urologist, diagnosed with peyronie's
Prescribed: Hydrocortisone cream, 1600 mg vitamin E, 20 days prednisone
Pain is halved from an 8 down to a 4

October 2009- Went back to urologist, hydrocortisone discontinued, prescribed 30 days alleve
Anxiety about condition causes ED

November 2009- Pain pretty much ends except for pulling effect from the scar tissue
Begin L-arginine (1000 mg per day) and erections return

December 2009- See Dr. Levine
Ultrasound shows minimal plaque and excellent (100%) bloodflow
Curvature at 19 upwards and 16 left
Vitamin E discontinued, arginine increased to 2000 mg per day, Pentox (3 pills per day), traction device (about to begin)
Pain ends and scar tissue becomes less noticeable from pentox

September 2010-
Had a very busy summer. I saw Dr. Levine in June and all is progressing well. I am now 8 months into fastsize. Have reduced curvature by about 1/3 (happy about this), have gained almost 1 inch length and quarter of an inch girth (I lost no size for either originally). I will be on pentox/fastsize until December, then Dr. Levine said to discontinue all treatment.
