RestoreX/ Cialis Improvement Journal - nevertheless - Explicit Photos

[nevertheless]

Hello all!

I've been posting a bit as I'm still at the beginning of my journey. If you haven't read my posts, I am not officially diagnosed yet. My PCP felt my penis and observed erect photos and said it's likely and gave me urology consult. I have had curve for a very long time. I remember rolling over as a teen and hearing a pop and being terrified, but also too terrified to tell anyone, especially my parents. I think I may have had a curve before this but honestly can't really remember since I was pretty young.

So I've had a 30-35 degree curve (never accurately measured honestly) since a young teen or before. Never really got in the way of sex except not super comfortable for me or my partner often, as well as always being very sore after sex.

One of the most concerning parts is that I have a hinge and almost have hurt myself badly a few times during sex. I also have low t and have been on trt shots for 8 months or so now. I feel like in last year or two my curve has gotten a little worse. Unsure if related to low t, peyronies, or something else.

Finally was brave enough to ask my doctor about it a few months ago. We talked about RestoreX/traction and cialis and decided it was low risk enough to start while waiting for urology appointment. No idea why I've been so afraid to talk to a doctor.

Today is three weeks with RestoreX and a little less than that on cialis. So far it has been absolutely incredible. I know my pictures aren't exact and the base is at different angles, but just trying to keep rough log of the journey as I try to get better.

My curve has definitely lessened in these three weeks. It feels pretty substantial honestly. My hinge also feels a little better (as in less likely to hinge). But the cialis could be playing a role in just having harder erections to avoid that?

My flaccid hang is much larger. Both in length and girth.  My wife makes comments much more often about it and I've noticed my bulge in shorts and loose clothes is larger. Wasn't necessarily after that, but want to track the journey. My erect length and girth but seem to be slightly larger. My wife made a comment during sex last week that I felt bigger and I think it's true. Never been one to really care about measurements so I don't have much to go off of besides just feel and sight. I also have been feeling less sore after sex, which is a huge win. And honestly, I think it's the cialis that is making me last way longer so we're going at it harder than usual. We had a pretty long intercourse session last night and I had hardly any soreness today. Incredible.

I started off on the border between normal rods and extension rods on RestoreX. Firmly on the extension rods now. Straight pull is like 5-6 clicks in and bent at 2 or 3 but tension rods still almost totally buried. But it's comfortable with extension rods now which it wasn't earlier on. Makeup pads and learning how to place my penis into the device well has made huge difference.

I'll keep adding to this as time goes on and hopefully I continue to see more improvements.

Please ask questions - happy to answer anything that I can! And hopefully it helps someone decide to start or continue treatment. I know not everyone (or even most) see results quickly, but I'm encouraged. Even if it's in my head and my phone is bad at measuring haha

Thankful for all your kind words and advice so far! Thankful to have found this community.

P.S. it says upload directory is full so I will upload weeks one and two photos when I can. But you can find them in another thread I made in this folder a few weeks ago.

I am surprised you are getting results this quick but it is definitely awesome, so keep at it!

Do you think you would be able to post somewhat often progress pics like this one? that is something that really encourages members to try the device out and possibly to get good results too.  

[nevertheless]

I am honestly super shocked too. No idea how or why, but excited and grateful either way. It makes me wonder if it's not actually peyronies but is something else, but unsure what it would be that would be helped in the same way peyronies theoretically would be too.

I'm going to try to post one photo a week! I know you're a mod - do you know anything about the full upload directory? It says to contact an admin about fixing it?

Thanks!  

[Mikel7]

Those are amazing results!

I just saw this and will investigate later today.

UPDATE: This should be fixed now.

[nevertheless]

Alright, here are some more pics.

Earliest I can find is 3 days in. Definitely looks smaller with curve around 30 degrees. I'll have to search my phone for more but doubt I have any at its worse. I found some pretty semi hard ones with more extreme curve (35+ degrees) but don't think I've ever had that low of erections at full strength so it may not be accurate.

Freaking amazging results considering the short amount of time. If this keeps on going you will be pretty much completely straight within 3 months. Congratulations pal!

Thank you! We were so hesitant to drop so much money on RestoreX but man, worth every penny. Even if the results I have now are final.  

[Pfract]

Congratulations indeed! Thank you so much for sharing them.

As for the upload issues, the forum system is a bit iffy. You have to make sure you have the right file extension and that the file size is under a certain size limit. Four pictures per post if I remember right.  

[nevertheless]

Hasn't been a full week but it felt a lot straighter today. I don't think much improvement since a few days ago but the feel seems quite a bit better.

Also I photoshop background out because it helps me focus. Did a bad job on this one so it looks like base is more angled than it actually is.

Week 4 update. Not much change I don't think from the update I posted a few days ago but still wanted to make my Friday post. 4 weeks into RestoreX now.

Here is my urology update to have it here in my 'journal' - https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.php/topic,19589.0.html

Photo attached. I did realize that the curve looks rather different depending on which side of my penis I photograph. I think that's the twist in it, which oddly I've never noticed before. I've also never regularly taken photos of my dick so I'm noticing all sorts of things. I'd say curve range has been 9-14 degrees the last few days since I've been curious. Angle of photo/camera and everything matter too, how hard I am; etc. so really not scientific but still feel like progress is being made!

Thanks for the update man! Keep going at it. I will say, I noticed several changes in my penis over time. The first 6 month I was fighting a left curve. I always had a slight left congenital curve, but it got worse after Peyronies Disease. After about 9 months, my dick is straighter now that it's ever been (oddly enough). Now, in the last couple weeks I noticed it's starting to curve up-so adjusting my restorex and doing some downward traction in addition to the normal straight traction only. I do think the up curve now was from reinjuring during sex about a month back.

[nevertheless]

No real change this week so no use uploading photo. Curve measuring 11-14 degrees or so, depending on the day/time. Had to go off cialis this week and recovering from another illness so wasn't very consistent with RestoreX either, but hopefully restarting good habits with it today.

Thank you for posting these updates!

Hi Nevertheless

That's great for you! When you say that you do 2-3 clicks for the bent traction, what degree of bend do you use (30,60,90 or 120 degrees)??
And do you also use the extension rods for the bent traction?

[Alex83]

Further to my previous message

And so you do 15 minutes straight and then 15 minutes bent still with the rods extended?

Do you do this 2 or 3 times a day?

Don't you make a 120-degree bend with the little rods? Why not?

[IwillbeatPD]

Hey Alex-

Personally I do two 30 minute sessions a day. Each session I do 15 min straight and 15 min in the direction of the curve. I don't time exactly so it may end up being 40 min sometimes. I used to bend to the right since I had a left curve. That went away, but then I developed an up curve instead so now I bend down  

[nevertheless]

Yup, 15 minutes straight, 15 minutes bent. I usually do 90 degree bends. Can't easily get to 120 with the extension rods without them poking me, and I'm seeing good results so I'm happy there.

I do it usually twice a day, sometimes a third, but usually just straight if I do.

Happy to answer any questions you may have!
 

[FrankPD]

Awesome results!  

[nevertheless]

Not much change. I have been awful at using RestoreX honestly and probably averaging once a day. Have also been off of cialis but about to start again. Might be in my head but think it's definitely feeling thicker the last week or so, even without cialis.

Thank you for your answers!

For my part having only one base, I first do a first session of 2x15 min straight with the long rods and then a few minutes later I do 2x15 minutes counter bending (120 degrees) with the small rods.

I don't know if this is counterproductive but it's really annoying to screw and unscrew the rods each time so I do it like this 😬 What do you think?

[nevertheless]

I am not an expert! But I think the purpose of straight stretching is to help the bent portion be more effective and easier to accomplish. But maybe I'm wrong on that. I would definitely give RestoreX a call/email and ask, they've been very responsive to me.  

[nevertheless]

I was awful about using RestoreX again this week and really need to get back into a good routine.

No real changes though - I haven't been taking cialis either so erections definitely down and I think I have more ED than I thought, if I'm being honest.

So goals for this week are to take my cialis daily and use RestoreX twice everyday. Need to prioritize this - I was seeing great results.  

[nevertheless]

Forgot photo. I think it's pointed a little higher today than last week so still wouldn't say any real change. Wondering if this is where I'll stay since it's been similar for a few weeks? Guess I'll need to use it more consistently to actually know that.

Cheers, my friends!

[nevertheless]

Probably going to stop using measuring tool to check angle because it's tricky, but again, I think some slight progress but it's definitely slowing down. Still have only been doing RestoreX once a day though so really cannot complain. Hopefully work slows down soon so twice a day is easier but life happens. Using the device now though so hopefully I get it done twice today! Work from home isn't all bad!

I will say - feel like my hinge is getting better. Unsure if because of stronger erections or what but everything feels a lot more stable down there. Haven't had sex in a little over a week because of schedules and that time of the month but interested to see how things are feeling when we do.  

[IwillbeatPD]

Super happy for you man!

One thing I would say is, this time is CRITICAL for you. Changes happen mostly in the beginning, so if you can counter that the better off you will be. You've had great results so far. I would suggest not skipping on the pills or restorex until you see no more progress, then I'd continue a few months after that just to make sure.

[nevertheless]

Thought I posted an update a few days ago but looks like I didn't.

Pretty wild that's it's been two months since I've shared. Really haven't used RetoreX or taken much cialis during that time. Won't get into the details but needed a break, not because of any negatives of the treatments, other life stuff.

Anyway - curve is doing very well and seems stable. I'm starting cialis and RestoreX now - goal is just one time a day since two seems a bit much for my current schedule.

Overall, I'm thrilled and really don't care much about current curve because sex is better and I'm not long sore after sex, even long/intense sessions. I wake up with a very normal feeling penis the next day instead of super sore and uncomfortable.

Happy to answer any questions! Will keep you all updated periodically with any changes or thoughts.  

[nevertheless]

Just checking in!

Been using RestoreX about once a week and really only using cialis around the same amount. I lost a bit of weight and sex has been great without. Cialis definitely firms it up a bit more but firm enough I'm not worried about further injury without.

Curve hasn't really changed. I'm hopeful to start using RestoreX more again and maybe try getting a VED since I've read that's more effective in recovering girth. But all in all, I think everything is looking good and little to no soreness after sex.

Would love any thoughts on VEDs!

Hello mate, I'm just starting out with the RestoreX and would love some tips on how to place my penis in the device. As this seems to be the hardest part of the whole thing. Thank you!
