Hi Coffee Man,
Regarding your complications after Xiaflex.  I've used the Restorex for 5 yrs and did 6 Xiaflex injections last spring.  I do traction religiously and recently started having new dorsal pain.  I'm pretty aggressive with it.  The dorsal side has remained tender for a long time.  Dr Trost said it may be a new onset of the acute phase.  This set me back emotionally.  Do you think the Xiaflex made you worse?

Thanks, Scooter66

Hi , I was wondering if you still have the Restore X for sale ? . I'm in Melbourne Australia.

Hello , I was wondering if you still had this Restore X traction device for sale . I'm in Australia .

Kind regards
Craig

So you have been dealing with this for 4 years? Have you tried traction or VED therapy? I'm sorry for the emotional toil it has taken on you. There is hope though!

I did use the rods included, but I only had the traction set at the first line. I also did not like the belt attachment, it was awkward because of the tension not being precise when I moved about. It also took me about 2 weeks to get use to the Restorex. It got easier when I used the makeup pads for gripping action.

I do it like this. I tried different amounts of lube, different angles, different pushing strength, different states of stimulation. I always end up with my tip sucked in the chamber, then further sucks on will not pull in the entire glans.

Therefore the suction is very strong on the tip and it immediately is quite red and the urinary entrance hurts a bit.

I therefore stopped using the device now as I could not beat the feeling.

Based on your sig it sounds like we have similar properties - mine is a left curve but I noticed you list out fibrous bands.. I have a half-circle like band which is the plaque that Levine detected on the ultrasound. honestly though It feels like I have 2 more running closer down to the base as well.

anyway, regarding PMP pointers - It really is a comfortable device, there is a learning curve so you need to be really paying attention to things and figure it out as you go. I have not had a single issue with the sluices, but the diaphragms have pissed me off. So after 30 days maybe more, the diaphragm eventually rips - and I've had it happen during my max length extension, and also from over pumping when applying the vacuum. It honestly has scared the crap out of me each time it has happened, but.. it doesn't actually hurt at all, it's just sudden which makes me panic like I broke my dick lol.

Other than that, once you got the diaphgram on and consistently able to apply it (trick seems to be pumping twice, or 1 and half pumps, so it's past the glans), for the next 30 days, you can put it on in under 1-2 minutes, then can chill like 1 hour and half, 2 hours, longer if you work up to it (up to 3 listed by pmp manual). take it off for 10-30 mins to warm back up, re apply, and keep wearing. That's really the flow of it throughout the day, I just put my phone timer and pause when i take it off for breaks. I think someone claimed you don't need the diaphgrams, I may look into that soon. (maybe it was Mikel?)

Otherwise man if I was in your shoes, had money to spare, and aren't going to stay committed to RestoreX. I think PMP is a great option to keep the penis stretched, which is obviously very important in peyronies. I would buy it.

Hope that helps.

I have several bands also. One urologist brushed them off as veins and another didnt even notice...but I know they are there. If I run my fingernail over the skin, they feel gritty underneath, which definitely doesnt feel like a soft plushy vein.

Out of interest, do your bands correspond with where your curve begins? Mine seem to do so, as well as some narrowing in girth.

Eugh, its such a nightmare. I'm doing my best to keep it a cool head about it but I do at times feel like im getting a touch of body dysmorphia going on. It doesnt look like my own dick anymore.

Regarding the PMP - thanks for those pointers. I'll look into picking up a few spare diaphragms. I wonder if there are third party ones that do the job, instead of buying direct from the manufacturer.

Dr. Trost claims that it doesnt matter but I find it hard to believe. It just makes sense that the closer you get to the plaque, the better the outcome.

We are all different though. You might find it works slightly better for you. I'm likely going to do the reverse and try the PMP next year...so if you have any pointers I'd love to hear haha. The one thing I was concerned about was the need to buy extra sluices and accessories because they wear out. Is this the case?

He did not talk about RestoreX and while I preferred PMP in the beginning, and honestly mostly still do given it's comfort for long term use. I do wonder if RestoreX would be a good addition for targeting certain plaque locations, and maybe could be a good addition to a PMP routine? (rip wallet, haha)

Not sure but I have an appointment coming up in 2 ish weeks so planning to ask his thoughts on it.

Just as much as the size loss, I really hate how the shape has changed. It's become disproportionate in girth between the lower half and the upper half, and I doubt I will ever afford the kinds of surgery that help with this.
