Hello, from Vancouver, Canada

[rdk]

Hi, my name is Robert, and I'm from Vancouver, Canada.  I'm 33 years old, and I was diagnosed with Peyronie's Disease in April of 2011, when I was 28, after first developing symptoms about six months prior to that.

Current condition:  My condition is stable.  My plaque is located on the right side, just below the head.  I lost about an inch of length, and significant girth (some hourglassing), but I have minimal curvature (~15 degrees)

Treatment to date:  At diagnosis I was put on a three-month course of pentoxifylline.  I'm not sure if that helped slow progression, but the condition stabilized quite quickly after that course.  Since then I have not received other treatment.

Why I'm here:  I'm looking for methods to regain some lost length and girth if that's possible.  I'm looking to try VED therapy.  I'm also just looking to hear other members' treatment experiences who's condition is similar to mine.

Thanks!  Looking forward to chatting with you.

Welcome Robert, but sorry you have now also experienced this disease.

You probably are aware that we suggest a couple of key therapies (traction and VED). Each has its benefits and you will find entire topics from the main page dedicated to these discussions.

Hi LWillisjr,

Thank you for the welcome.  Yes, I'm sorry I have to be here, but am happy this resource exists for those of us who develop this disease.  It's a frustrating condition to say the least.  I've gotten some advice from Old Man on VED therapy, and I think I'm going to give that a shot.  

Thanks again!

-Robert

hey Robert , welcome to the club buddy
I wont say sorry to you cause one of the biggest issues with that disease is the mental condition that we all have to maintain and keep our self strong  .

I might have  same symptoms you have except the length issue , that actually i cant be sure if i lost some length or not in my case .
so if you like to explain for us how did you noticed that please .
