Effectiveness of traction? Feeling discouraged.

[Vril8]

I had high hopes for traction after listening to Neoman and others, but after trying it myself the results I got are minimal. A user on here claims that Dr Trost said that most of the results from RestoreX occur within the first three months and are usually minimal reductions in curvature. I'm around a month into it and I'm still suffering from the same problems I had from the start. After dealing with so much medical incompetence I really don't want to have to do surgery or Xiaflex, and I was under the impression that I wouldn't have to because the studies and testimonials claim that traction is the cure.

I haven't given up, I still have options I can try (VED, 6+ hour PMP sessions, etc.) I am very discouraged though. Any anecdotal success stories with Restorex or curing hourglassing would really lift my spirits.

Your feelings of hopelessness and discouragement are what ALL of us men have and still do confront at times. This isn't something you are gonna fix overnight. Adopt a plan and give it more than 3 months. I still do occasional traction with PMP and VED sometimes. Everyone responds differently and only you can see improvements, but please adopt the mindset that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Don't compare yourself with others. Your fracture happened 2 years ago and it may take time of traction/VED and patience to see how you respond. If you do nothing you will get nothing. Also manual traction is a recipe for disaster as many men attest here. I am almost at the 4 year mark when peyronies struck for me and I can still see small improvements with the therapy I have adopted. It has not been easy! It has been frustrating! Just know that here you will find a place to vent and ask questions and gain knowledge that the medical field does not have or dismisses all together.
