Greetings to All and thank you for this forum. I am 58 and was diagnosed with Peyronie's 8 months ago.  I first noticed a tiny lump under the skin on the shaft of my penis. After a few weeks I went to my doctor, and although it was so small that he couldn't really feel it,  he did refer me to a urologist who diagnosed in 1 minute. The Urologist told me to take anti inflammatory and vit E to try to keep it "calm" until the painful period stopped (12-16 months). I was not having any pain at that time. Over the next 8 months it has grown progressively worse (curvature up and left) and pain when erect and during sex. It has also become painful and uncomfortable when flaccid from just the pressure of clothing and particularly when sitting in meetings and often my penis kind of folds up on itself which I eventually have to try to subtly adjust or if I can't, go to the restroom to do so.  I returned to my doctor who identified a specialist in Boston (Dr. Munarriz) with whom I have an appointment in several weeks.

In the meantime I have felt the need to get proactive on this and along the way discovered John Parks' website and I have to say that it really helped my spirit and desire to be proactive. I haven't yet had time to dig into all of information (including on this forum) but after reading some of his materials as well as a peer reviewed paper on traction devices for Peyronie's I have ordered the Male Edge device.  I have a very supportive partner and we have a long-distance relationship for now so lots of down time.  I think that's enough for introductions other than to say thanks again for being here and that I hope to learn and contribute.
