During the whole time you're doing xiaflex cycles they (the manual/doctors) say not to use VED. I understand why not after the shots for a few weeks. But anyone know the reason why not at all?

Maybe out of an abundance of caution? The Xiaflex could potentially weaken the tunica slightly to the point where intercourse or traction wouldn't cause a fracture, but VED could... VED is generally considered the most stressful of the three.

Btw, @samsung how did your second round go? I'm due to begin mine next week and I'm not looking forward to it. First shot of round one gave me a hematoma bump and the second was better but gave me fever for 24 hours afterwards. Hematoma finally nearly resolved and it's time to go back in...

My 2nd round was uneventful. Really bad bruising the 1st shot, but for 2nd, nothing, no pain. And the pain I was feeling for the previous 2 months pretty much dissapeared. I am now able to do traction without much pain. The curve is no better though. In fact it seems slightly worse but that could just be my imagination. Hard to tell.

I think the bruising wasn't as bad because I wrapped it real well and did not move around much for a few days.

Weird, for me I did the same amount of wrapping but had a big difference in bruising for the first two shots... I think the exact location of the shot makes a difference too. My first shot may have nicked a vein?
