I'm beginning week 8 using restorex. I haven't noticed any improvement yet in terms of curvature. Flexibility has increased and some length improvement. A possibility is that curvature was still developing and would have been worse than it is now. I'm finding the tension slide mechanism to not work too smoothly. This could cause variability and lessen tension. A couple of times got knicked pretty good when the device collapsed (could have been worse). When it collapsed I heard what sounded like parts/springs breaking on the inside. However there still seems to be tension so maybe it's ok. I'm hoping for some final improvement soon. Maybe that happens later? Starting week 4 I increased stretches to 3x a day.

Increased length is a good sign.  As the stretch advances...continue to increase the tension.
PxD 2 yrs 9/16.  Failed all treatment. 9/11/18: excision, grafting & implant Dr Karpman MtnView Ca, AMS CX 18cm + 3-1cm RTEs.
Pump failed.  2/11/20 Dr Karpman installed Titan 22cm +1cm RTE.

Be careful because Restorex and Dr. Trost says to not exceed 2x a day for 30 minutes each. You don't want to overdo it.

Yeah you're right. I see now in the precautions not to exceed 1hr per day. Although during their trials I noticed they had a group do 3x a day. That's where I got the 3x a day idea. I might drop back to 2 even though at 3 I'm not experiencing any negative effects.
