Mikel...

You made me cry.

Thank you with all my heart for this comfort, which is so good to read.

I admit I have terrible dark thoughts...

Your message is a lifeline for me, I don't know if you realize it...

I don't know how to thank you...

I'm crying...

I will put all your recommendations into practice.

Eternally thank you.

When it comes to peyronies everyone reacts differently to different medications and how they think they've got it. For instance after the pandemic there were some men who all of a sudden cam down with peyronies. They think it was because of receiving the covid vaccine. There is also the finasteride problem. Men who took this for their hair loss developed low testosterone and subsequently peyronies. So there is the possibility that the Adderall could cause this disease.

It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of worry and anxiety. This is normal all of us men here have gone through this. We did not stay there but developed a plan of action and worked the plan. You will get through this and you will have a future and you will have a sex life! For now if you are experiencing pain I would say to start some heat therapy daily even multiple times a day. It will help with healing and give you some hope. You should also look into using Cialis or other like drugs to help with erections and inflammation reduction. Then study up on traction from reading this forum and you will learn from other men's experiences. You are going to make it!!!!

As LWillisjr said, it's best to ask your Dr. and wait a few months before you can use traction.

I'm in the same boat and trying to recover the length lost, but I do see a slight improvement.

As far as I can see, the number of bars (page 37) you will see depends on the pulling force, which can be adjusted in two ways:

1) You can make coarse adjustments to the pulling force by screwing more metal rods together thereby making the rods longer or shorter (page 34). This is where you can change the pulling force a lot and therefore change the number of bars you will see. The number of bars is there to help you assess how much pulling force you are applying. If the metal rods are too short, no pulling force is applied to your penis, and then turning the setscrews will not do anything, and you will always see 5 bars. If you screw more metal rods together to increase the pulling force, then you will see fewer than 5 bars.

2) After the metal rods have been screwed together to approximately the right length as described in step 1), then you can make small adjustments by turning the setscrews (page 37).

3) I have not noticed my veins sticking out when using traction, but you may want to consult a urologist to check if this is a problem.

Thanks for the reply! I'm referring to the English manual I got along with it which seems to be the same as the one I get if I Google it, but I still don't quite understand 😅 it says to adjust the pulling force, I should turn the screws to the right and that I should be able to measure the force based on how many bars I can see, but no matter how much or how little I turn the screws I can always see all 5 bars so I think I'm misunderstanding something 🤔


And thanks for the tips about the belt, I'll have to give that a try.

In your experience did you have any issues with your veins becoming super noticeable/sticking out? I didn't feel any discomfort but it looked wrong so I've been hesitant to try it again but maybe it's normal at first 🤔

Pfract: Where I've been wanting to correct this issue over the past 5 months I've been stretching aggressively.

My indent has filled out since the beginning however I'm still unhappy with curvature.

Yesterday evening I felt a lot of strain and some pain on lower tension settings so I may need to rest my penis for a week before I continue using RestoreX as treatment.

I'll use VED for 2 min x 5 = 10 minutes for once to twice a day until my penis feels ready again for stretching and counterbending.

I read that Dr Trost is fairly aggressive with RestoreX after collagenase injections to maximise results.

I've tried to copy this as his protocol after receiving my first injection with Dr Raheem in the UK.

Oh I see... That's a bit concerning. Have you thought bout posting on Dr Landon's board, to see if he chines in? It would be nice to give him that feedback

Introduce Yourself / It's Been A Long Process

Hi and thank you for having me. It was 5 years ago when my pyronines began. I was about to have sex with my girlfriend and as my penis started getting erect it was painful as hell. I was frightened. I was 62 at the time. The curvature was slight at the beginning but as time went on it got worse till it reached about 90 degrees upward. I broke up that relationship because I felt inadequate.
I tried many things up to my latest self treatment of pineapple, castor oil, heat and cold treatment, K2 and Restorex.
I shied away from women as I was embarrassed by this disease. I met a woman one night at a hotel and she came back to my room with me, at her request. It was the first time I had been with a woman for years and I could not perform. I never got fully undressed, but she did. Oh my goodness, she was beautiful. We agreed to meet for breakfast.
At breakfast we spoke about the night before and she became the first person I spoke to about the curve in my penis. I actually cried with embarrassment as I told her. Her one simple response changed my life. She said, so.. it has a personality. Later that night we hade love. It was my first time having sex with the curve. And she enjoyed it! The curved penis hit her spots. Unfortunately I could not ejaculate, but it was spectacular. And my entire attitude toward this disease had forever been changed.
I continue my treatments and thankfully the curve has diminished. I started working out and dieting and I stopped watching porn. I would say the curve has been reduced quite a bit, thank goodness. I continue with my daily treatment of either heat or stretching. But it's been a long road and I agree with so many others that have posted on here, it's a marathon.

Pfract: It's the bubble directly underneath.

I've heard other users here saying they've had the same thing.
