Thinking in advance of a round 2 acute phase and how to prepare. My thought is oral steroids like methylpresisone could be an interesting hack. Immediately calm inflammation with a one week course and hopefully stop the plaque in its tracks or maybe reverse it. They treat Dupuytrens (related condition to Peyronies) with steroid injections  — it's worked for me to pause the disease. Less inclined to take an injection down there during early acute.

Anyone tried this? :)

I totally agree with what you're saying, and it's so important to have a space where we can share our unique experiences without fear of judgment. As someone who's spent many nights dancing at my local gay nightclub, I can say that these spaces are essential for fostering community and acceptance.

I haven't used oral steroids myself, but I've heard from others that they can help with inflammation pretty quickly. A friend of mine had success with a similar approach. He was dealing with some tough joint issues and decided to check out Commercial link removed by admin for some oral options. He said the methylprednisolone worked well for him, reducing his pain and inflammation in just a week.

It's great that you're considering this early on to potentially halt things in their tracks. I totally get the hesitation around injections, especially in sensitive areas. It sounds like you're doing your homework and being proactive, which is awesome.
