Usually upward bends are congenital but you say that yours developed later. When a  plaque/scar tissue forms it will constrict or pull things together tightly. Only with an ultrasound could you possibly see if there are other plaques.  When your penis bends in any direction from peyronies ususally it is because of an internal plaque that is on that side pulling things tight.

It sounds like you've stumbled upon an interesting observation! While Viagra is primarily known for its short-term effects on erectile function, some users have reported experiencing longer-term improvements in flaccid size and erection quality.

One possible explanation could be the cumulative effect of improved blood flow over time. By consistently taking Viagra, you may be promoting better circulation to the penis, which could lead to these lasting benefits.

However, it's essential to remember that individual responses to medication can vary, and what works for one person may not work the same for another. Additionally, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional about any persistent changes or concerns regarding medication usage.

It might also be worthwhile to explore other potential treatments or therapies for Peyronie's disease, as Viagra alone may not address all aspects of the condition.

It sounds like you're experiencing a range of responses to your tadalafil dosage, which is not uncommon. Tadalafil, like other medications for erectile dysfunction, can have varying effects from person to person and even from day to day based on factors like arousal levels, stress, and refractory periods.

The fact that you're still in control of these erections and they're not painfully rigid or prolonged is a good sign. It suggests that your body is responding appropriately to the medication. However, if you're concerned about the frequency or duration of these erections, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

In terms of what constitutes a "good" amount of erection time, it's subjective and varies depending on individual preferences and health considerations. Generally, having regular, spontaneous erections, including morning erections, is a positive indicator of erectile health. However, if you're experiencing discomfort or if the erections feel unnatural or excessive, it's important to seek guidance from a medical professional to ensure everything is functioning as it should.

So to me I can see you are having a lot of anxiety and worrying about this. What did your urologist say and are you going to get the Xiaflex injections? Hopefully when you masturbated you had a hard erection and used a lot of lube. If you have pain afterwards I suggest using some heat therapy immediately to help things out.

Now with Xiaflex it does break down scar tissue. It is the modeling of the penis while it is healing that helps restore the normal shape that it should be. Dr Trost has developed his own modeling procedure with Xiaflex that is very successful with many of his patients. Read about them on the forum. Members have stated that he knows what he is doing when injecting the medication and then stretching and molding their penis.

Get a hold on the negative thoughts and don't worry about your future. You will come through this. Get a plan of action and work it out.

I'm really sorry to hear about what you're going through. It's important to understand that Peyronie's disease can be distressing, but there are treatments available that can help manage its symptoms and potentially improve your condition. However, it's crucial to seek medical advice from a healthcare professional as soon as possible. They can provide a proper diagnosis, discuss treatment options tailored to your specific situation, and offer support and guidance throughout your journey towards recovery. Don't hesitate to reach out for help and support, and take the first step towards getting the care you need.

If you are getting some pain relief in that position then that is where you need to focus your traction at. I received pain relief when it was angled upwards towards my abdomen. I would get soreness around my pubic pad where the base would sit after about 1 1/2 hours. I would then take it off for about 5 minutes and the soreness went away.

The device has been used not more than 4/5 times, it's like brand new, with box and pamphlets. It has been sanitized thoroughly. Unfortunately due to my hectic schedule, I can't find the time to use it, so I'm selling it to finance a different device like a vacuum pump.

It lies unused in a drawer when it might be helpful for someone in need.

Lol, it takes some getting use to,

It's been about 3 weeks since my urologist appointment.  I feel like my peyronies is taking a turn in a negative direction.  After getting home from the urologist, I decided to take new pics to compare to the ones I took a couple of months ago.  In doing that, I got myself off and think I may have caused some damage.  I was trying to keep myself hard for the pictures and ended up masturbating for longer than usual.  I felt consistent pain in my penis throughout the next few days which would eventually stop.  I would get morning erections and they would hurt a little bit.  The pain went away after about a week so I decided to try masturbating again.  It didn't cause much pain at all and so I did it again the next night.  This is where I hurt myself yet again.  I was extremely gentle and used as little pressure as possible. 
That was 2-3 nights ago and since then I have consistent pain throughout the day.  I remember going through a similiar experience back in 2021 when I injured myself while masturbating but with how gentle I was this time, I am afraid that my Penis will eventually get to a state where it can't handle any type of activity.  I am also afraid that my scar tissue on the left side will be too much for Xiaflex to do anything with.  From what I understand, Xiaflex will dissolve the scar tissue and I will be left with a dent where the tissue used to be.  I don't think my penis will be structurally sound if my plaque were to be dissolved.  I also noticed when giving myself an erection just now that my bloodflow to my penis isn't great.  I was able to get a mostly solid erection but it's definitely different than it was a few weeks ago.  I will probably go to the urologist to get an ultrasound but my hope is dwindling.

Quote from: Mikel7 on November 05, 2023, 05:56:43 AMI have used the PMP with the same base pain and all I did was to reposition the device a little by pointing it down. Occasionally if it did hurt a lot then I would take it off for about 5 minutes and gently massage the area then put it back on and no permanent damage.

Good to know, this has been one of my concerns. I find the downward stretch to be very beneficial for reducing my flaccid pain but I worry about the way the base of the PMP sits on my shaft while in this position.
