Hello all-
I had a series of verapamil injections over the last 8 months. I originally had a 20 degree downward curve when I first seeked treatment. The doctor was treating plaque on the top of penis, no sure why I had downward curve.

After a few injections, the downward curve corrected, but I had lost length.
I wish I had stopped receiving injections at this point ( around 6 injections), but the doctor told me my plaque was smaller, softer, etc.

Over the course of the next few months, and 4 more injections, I developed a significant upward curve. I told the doctor this, and he said he was targeting the plaque that was causing this. The curve stayed the same, or may have worsened.

I have discontinued the Verapamil injections. Since I received them during the early stages of disease, it's impossible to blame the verapamil for my curvature, but I am confident it did not help. Very reputable doctor as well, I got the feeling he would carry on injecting me indefinitely ($) regardless of outcome.

It is hard to find much positive feedback on Verapamil injections out there.
I have purchased a Restorex device a couple weeks ago and am really hoping for some positive results.

Last year in June another user on this site ''Vett''also sent an email to the researcher Feghali-Bostwick.
He got the response that they hoped it would be avaiable in the next 2 years.

There's also a screenshot of her message.

 

Walking is an excellent form of physical fitness and it does bring blood into all parts of your body. I walk about 15 to 20 miles a week and it helps out every part of my body.

I'm glad to have stumbled across this forum while researching Peyronies Disease. I'm a 46 year old that started with this problem about a year ago.

Over 35 years with my penis and I just realized that my flacid blood flow is much better when I did walk a lot the day before. May a lot I mean at least an hour or more.
Maybe this is not for everyone and maybe many of you already know, but for me it is great news. If I walk everyday I can control the blood flow to my penis in a healthy way. No need to take Tadalafil or pentox, which does not help as much or has side effects like flushing.
Maybe walking or not walking even is connected to peyronies, because anytime the symptomes got worse, i was in a phase of staying at home, being sick for a long time, working on my home desk, sitting on the couch a lot, and I didn't walk much! Blood flow was really bad at that time. Anyone else notice this?

Finasteride actually indirectly increases your testosterone as it inhibits the 5 alpha reductase enzyme which converts testosterone in to dihydrotestosterone. So you have more testosterone in your blood stream since the amount that would've been converted into DHT by your body is no longer being converted into it because of the finasteride.

Dihydrotestosterone is important for libido and sexual function (in adults aswell, not just when going through puberty) and it contributes to the overall balance of androgens which influence sexual health.

DHT is good and important and it is there for a reason. Insecurities over hair loss are not worth disrupting billions of years of evolution.

Do not put that crap in your body. Male pattern baldness is normal. Peyronies disease is not.

Hawk would be the one to give you a correct answer on this.

The very sad truth to it all is that this drug is prescribed to thousands of men without them ever realizing just what they could be setting themselves up for. It is a real $$ for the drug companies.

I second Mikel7's post. And i leave you with some links that you may find interesting to read.

Post-finasteride syndrome (PFS) describes persistent sexual, neurological, physical, and mental adverse reactions in patients who have taken finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase type II enzyme inhibitor used to treat hair loss (under the brand name Propecia or generics) and/or enlarged prostate (Proscar or generics). Unfortunately, PFS is a condition with no known cure and few, if any, effective treatments. As an increasing number of men report their persistent side effects to health and regulatory agencies worldwide, medical and scientific communities are only beginning to realize the scope of the problem.

I would stay away from anything pertaining this drug. Topical or oral, in my honest opinion it is just not worth the risk.
