Hey man. I haven't been doing traction consistently for very long to report on it really. It is also hard to stay consistent for me personally, because in reality, a curve of 20 degrees when fully erect has little to no impact on me and I could live the rest of my life with it without any issue.

It was definitely terrifying at the beginning though, finding out what this disease is and how bad it can get. But since it hasn't gotten worse I've sort of come to terms with it in a way and it doesn't bother me anymore like it did. But I still go on these forums a lot.

Anyway, if you're having the same symptoms, this post might help you - it definitely helped me: https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.php/topic,16759.msg147066.html#msg147066

Specifically this from Dr Trost's response in the post:
'Sometimes, Peyronies Disease can give you a curve which is visible during a partial erection but that becomes straight(er) with a full erection.  This is usually due to a very small or minor scar.' So assuming this applies to us which it sounds like it does, we at least likely have a very small or minor scar.

I can objectively say though that my semi-erect curve has improved since I wrote this post. There was a point in time at the beginning when the semi-erect curve was really really bad, I did not have it in me to measure the curve at that point and I deleted all the pictures I had of the semi-erect curve back then because it was messing with me a lot and I tried to not think about it. When I saw the semi-erect curve back then it would completely kill my arousal and I would abstain from sex. Now even though there is still semi-erect curve it is much less, and my sex life is just as good as before. This was just the result of time in my opinion, it had improved by the time I started traction.

Feel free to message me also.

The semi erect curve is much more severe than when fully erect. I would say 3x as much or even more degree of curvature than when fully erect.

Having the exact same symptoms at the moment. I saw on your posts that you've been using traction therapy, has it had any effect for you so far?

Welcome aboard PDS!

You need to give us more details. At your age, there are many factors that contribute to ED. You need to have a full physical assessment to get a clear picture of what conditions may be contributing to your weak erections. From there, after you check for hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, etc, you choose which treatment is better for you.

Doctors always start by recommending pills. From there on they may talk about vacuum erection devices or injections. But if you want a definitive solution at your stage in life then you have to look into Penile implants.

Fully agree with you, LostandLooking24.

Welcome Saishu!

How exactly is your condition?

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.

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.
