I've read here that you should keep track of things with measurements, but what happens when the doctors -- including top specialists referenced on this board -- dismiss those measurements?

I've read here that you should compress the injection site after Trimix for minutes, but what happens when a top specialist's fellow says not to, that you should leave it alone following an ultrasound injection?

If there was no visible bruising, but I feel something at the injection site, and I keep losing overall girth flaccid and erect, could scar tissue develop over just a few days if I didn't compress?

I've now had two top specialists in a row say that they don't see any evidence of Peyronie's on ultrasound or MRI, but things keep getting thinner as evidenced by measurements. And that's months after I saw a different specialist, who said he did see a few different plaques on ultrasound, but that I was supposedly otherwise fine despite major ED, including weak nighttime/morning erections.

I've lost more than an inch of circumference, and doctors who have never seen it before flat-out say, "No you haven't, it's all in your head." ... And when I point to objective measurements (including flaccid ones taken by a pelvic floor physical therapist), they just deflect.

I've seen people here say that if you're not getting normal erections for a while and you're losing size, to just go ahead and get an implant. But shouldn't a proper diagnosis come before such a life-changing surgery?

I don't know, I'm just really confused.

First, compressing is to keep bruising from happening. Should have nothing to do with scar tissue forming.

Second, I read most of the posts on this forum and I don't recall anyone saying if your are "losing size, go get an implant". I would have immediately responded to this. An implant is a last resort and only after being properly diagnosed. IF any surgeon told me I could get an implant just to increase size, I would run away..... fast.
