RestoreX BentKnob Journal

[BentKnob]

I have continued to use RestoreX daily and it appears I'm continuing to get improvement.

This is likely down to the plaque breaking down from the collagense injections making it easier to mould.

I bought the Peyronies Disease Assesment Device and am measuring in between 15-20°

I'm happy with this. Looks like an improvement from older pictures.

[Mikel7]

It looks great!! I would continue on for further improvements! You definitely have adopted the motto that this is a marathon and not a sprint.

[BentKnob]

I'll often get obsessive with curvature. You won't ever get an accurate measurement as it depends what tools you use to measure and how hard erection is.

[Ukguy1234]

How are you doing now bud? Apologies for the delayed reply. if you shoot through some updated photos i can measure them on my Photoshop document. Although, If you are content with your measuring device, no worries. I considered getting one of those but seems tricky to use if you are measuring whilst trying to maintain a perfect erection. Or do you measure a photo?

[Cernfan]

I found this angle finder device on Amazon for $5 U.S.

Seems like it would be quick and easy.

I'll often get obsessive with curvature. You won't ever get an accurate measurement as it depends what tools you use to measure and how hard erection is.

I understand the obsession! And I have to say that I love that curvature measuring device! I am going to start recommending them to folks here when they register and introduce themselves. That way there is a easy and fairly accurate way to measure if you are having improvements or not!

[BentKnob]

The only problem is I get different measurements depending on what I use.

The measuring device in the picture shown will say I'm somewhere between 15-20° and when I use a measuring app it'll say im between 25-30°.

This has left me confused as to what my curvature is.

[jake uk]

I've always been rather confused about that too. But looking at your pic it looks pretty straight which must be very pleasing.

[BentKnob]

Thanks. It's usable and functions so it's a good result.

What's your peyronies journey been like?

[jake uk]

Very good result indeed.  I was diagnosed about 14years ago. I tried various treatments, pentox, lots of supplements, a VED pump, all with little or no results.  I've never had any pain and it hasn't got worse so I learned to live with it. Last year I heard restorex would soon be available in Europe (I live in the UK) and it got me thinking that I should start doing something about peyronies. So yesterday I ordered it and the comfort grip and both should be here any day now.  I'm looking forward to seeing if things improve.

[BentKnob]

I've never had any real pain. In the early stages after sex I could feel a very slight pain.

How often did you use the VED?

And what was your experience with the NHS?

[jake uk]

In the early days I used the VED about  5 days a week for 20 minutes for 6-9 months.  I saw no change at all, got discouraged so less frequently, then I stopped.  A few months ago I I got a new pump and I've been using it  most days.

I went to a couple of urologists privately, utter waste of money, I  think I knew more then they about Peyronies Disease! How about you?

[BentKnob]

Is that the SOMAcorrect?

I haven't seen a urologist yet, just specialists in peyronies.

The NHS sent me for an ultrasound after a physical examination where the GP could feel a lump. He said it wasn't anything to worry about. I told him I was concerned it was peyronies disease and wasn't happy so he sent me for an ultrasound.

They couldn't find anything on the ultrasound and said I didn't have peyronies disease. The operator of the ultrasound was unskilled and said he didn't know what he was looking for and couldn't find anything. I complained and then they put me on a waiting list for a urologist. Haven't heard anything and it's been over 6 months.

I went to MansMatters for shockwave therapy and they were contrived. They are basically just physiotherapists and tell lies to get your money. That was my impression.

I then saw Dr Raheem for collagense injections/Xiaflex. The injections helped improve curvature slightly around 5-10° improvement when combined with RestoreX.

[jake uk]

Yes I use the Somacorrect VED. I hadn't realised that xiaflex is available again in Europe. I guess there's no need for you to see a urologist, it looks like you've had great results.

[BentKnob]

How much did you pay for your SOMAcorrect? I paid £300.

Yes, it was withdrawn from the European market. They now have it in generic form collagenase so it's a lot cheaper than Xiaflex.

I can share details if you're interested.

[jake uk]

I paid £267 for the SomaCorrect pump and £357 for the RestoreX, both from iMedicare. I don't know if I'm brave enough for injections (I'm a bit of a wimp!) but perhaps I should rethink that. You've obviously had good results with the pump, restorex and xiaflex. I can't remember how much of a curve you started with but it looks very good now.

[BentKnob]

Did your SOMAcorrect come with 3 cylinders marked A B & C?

Just trying to understand why I paid more.

[LumberJack]

Before and after of foreskin hanging back with scar

Interesting to see that I'm not alone with this. I don't use Restorex but the Penimaster Pro and in this case it's easier to understand because the glans is drawn into a chamber with a ring around it. This ring is supposed to prevent the foreskin from slipping in, but it seems that this part can lead to the formation of this bulge if it is used for more than a year. I am currently working against this with ultrasound and can thus reduce the bulge, but of course that takes time.

The circle in the middle is supposed to be at the the bend, not below it.

The circle in the middle is supposed to be at the the bend, not below it.

You're right.
I was thinking this the other day.

I did think it didn't seem right. I'm more 20-30°

[BentKnob]

My RestoreX has broken today.

I bought it in August 2023 and a whole year later the tension spring won't release.

I was counterbending on my last stretch when all of a sudden the spring wouldn't release

Has anyone else's RestoreX lasted only 1 year?

[BentKnob]

Update:

I pulled the device quite hard to release the tension spring. It now doesn't lock making it difficult to use.

I messaged iMEDicare and was over the years warranty by 1 month. They have offered to sell me spare parts.

[Cernfan]

That's a shame!  Well, it's well worth the investment, isn't it?  I am not sure I'd be able to repair it with spare parts but if they're confident that it's easy enough to do......I'd say...depending on the cost.....go ahead and repair it, they're too expensive to let go without trying.  

[BentKnob]

Definitely. I'll open the screws and play around with it.

They've quoted me £159.50 plus postage for the main assembly.

[Pfract]

Sucks..... But it's cool that you can get replacement parts! They stand up for their product!

[Robin_Hoodlum]

Hi BK, any updates on your condition? Not heard from you in a while.

[BentKnob]

Thanks for asking, hope you are all doing well here in your journey!

I've had a significant change in my life and have been focusing on other things outside of here. After my RestoreX breaking I haven't yet replaced it.

I am planning to start RestoreX use again pretty soon to further correct my curve.

Once I purchase the replacement parts and begin using it consistently again I will update on here.
