Title: Curious if I should add this to my recovery routine...
Post by: pmj13 on December 09, 2013, 04:51:32 PM
Hey all,

I FINALLY got in to see a Dr, one of the best in the country for peyronie's from what I understand (Dr. Gelbrad, Burbank CA). He put me on a blood thinner and L-aginine for 6 weeks. I start in a week. I was curious as to if I should add a pump to the equation or not. I received my injury from a pump (bathmate) and am hesitant to try anything similar to it again.

I forgot to ask the doctor while I was there, so I am just seeking out some advice on the matter.

Thanks, all!

pmj13,

I go to the same doctor.  I am not sure about your situation but on my second visit I asked him about VED and he encouraged it.  Now I used the VED also.

That's great to hear! Do you use a specific brand? The ammount of them out there are overwhelming. I'm not sure if I should stick with the bathmate or try something else. Thought?

Thanks!

Could you PM me the info as well?  I also go to Gelbard in Burbank.  The first visit visit a month ago he mentioned to NOT use a VED just yet actually.  I will be going back in a couple weeks though so we'll see.  Thanks

PMJ,

I Would think you could call and leave a message for his nurse and the nurse would return your call.

I am very interested in the in-depth details of how you think you developed Peyronies Disease from using a bath mate.

Also, when you say he put you on a blood thinner, do you mean Pentox?
