Quote from: 305made on November 17, 2023, 05:19:31 PMBut after doing a lot of research on peyronies for months on end. I've came to the conclusion that a lot of the young men hear sonic. actually have had some type of Penile  trauma or maybe even fractures.


But the good news is that Dr. TROST says that this is actually sometimes easier to treat because the wounds or scoring or plaque whatever you wanna call it. Have a better chance of healing, or being re-absorbed into the body than that of Peyronie's disease, which typically is more dysfunctional if that makes sense.

It's not difficult to believe this. Young people do heal faster. Also, the urologist that administered Xioflex for my injections believed in starting earlier rather than later. We didn't get a near-perfect result from Xioflex, but there was some improvement that put me in the best possible condition for the plication surgery that was performed by another urologist.

freastone, there are not many options. There's doctors' opinions, traction, & surgery. The least expensive way forward is to simply buy & use a "good" traction device. If $$ is not critical, then I'd get some doctors' opinions. I'd select two that have lots of experience and with slightly different mindsets. For example, I'd make appointments with Trost in Utah and Gelman in Califirnia. It's even possible to have a video appointment with Trost. Trost developed the Restorix. Therefore, it's easier to trust his opinion when he says Reatorex is not useful. Both Trost and Gelman are recognized for surgery skill. Gelman is very pragmatic. One of the best things he ever said directly to me is something like, "Well, if it's determined surgery can help you, it's not necessary to proceed because such condition is not life or death."

Simplex, I recall some sensation loss following pliction surgery. Eventually, sensation returned to normal.

Will share additional note. I was a hell of a lot more concerned earlier in 2024 when my right hand & wrist were paralyzed following a nerve injury. Not only was my hand useless from wrist down, there was constant "needles & pins." 

It's a lot easier to get along without a penis than it is a hand. But, I think you'll be okay.

I'm in a similar boat. I try to adjust my thinking and be grateful for what I have. Any time I feel these pains, I remind myself to grateful that I have a pain response so my body can let me know something is wrong and prevent me from reinjuring myself. I may have suffered a ruptured, but at least I still have a penis that is capable of ejaculation. Some people are born with penile malformations or micropenises. In the grand scheme of things, we Peyronie's sufferers are very fortunate to retain most of penile function even with the occasional pain and ed. You are also very lucky to be young, with all the advancements in regenerative medicine I am certain that there will be a new cure some point in the future.

It's better to adjust the clamp close to your penis with the rotation buttons and then rotate them back into the straight position once you're securely clamped in, rather than trying to stretch your penis all the way up to the clamp by hand and then trying to squeeze yourself into it. I usually wait 5 minutes or so before initiating the stretch.

Im afraid I will have to cease counterbending, at least in the upward direction... I've noticed a new (probably a little bit smaller than a dime) indentation on the top of my penis (the side that rests against the device during the counterbend. I am certain that the pressure during counterbending caused this, even though I used a folded up scrap of fabric from an old T-shirt as padding. Even with ample cushion the pressure from just the 3-4 clicks are too much... Really disappointed because counterbending in this direction was really beneficial.

I want to try doing a side bend against the plaque but I'm very concerned about similar complications. Trying to clamp the sides of my glans is painful enough... Has anyone experienced similar negative effects with this? I thought VED could help fill out some of these but I think the best course of action for now is to let my penis rest... He's been through enough LOL.

Are there any benefits to taking a break from traction and resuming? When I first started traction I could feel the diseased area getting that really nice targeted stretch that feels amazing, but after doing it consistently I don't get this anymore, this could be a sign of improvement but my condition is nowhere near the point where I want it to be...

We had an issue that occurred on Sep 4. It has been corrected now. I need to explore options to keep this from happening.

My surgery was excision and grafting (not plication). I also had numbness. Healing is a long slow process, don't rush it. It was about 4 months for me before everything felt more 'normal'.

It appears that everyone has a ban set in place. The only way I was able to get in was by using a VPN in private mode. Help Willis...

Same issue here.
