I'm sorry you're going though this. Sometimes life throws a lot of things at us all at once and it can be tough, but there is light on the other side and you will get through this.
I think for anyone to give an informed opinion on your situation we would need more facts. However, I can say verapamil injections seem to be frowned upon here. Many have had problems with that despite positive research articles. I was hopeful when I heard of verapamil but quickly changed my mind after reading through forums and experiences. Regarding the weed, tbh I don't think that's going to make a world of difference one way or another. Smoking in general is bad for your health as I'm sure you know. But so is a bad diet. I would just try to be as healthy mentally and physically as you can during this time- you'll need it.
If the curve is your only problem, I'd start with the most conservative and trusted approaches- a traction device like restorex and a VED. Tadalafil/pentox would be a good idea too. Check out the survival guide on this forum for some basic info. But that would be a good place to start.

I'm sorry that you have to come here but I hope that you get all the information and support that you need.
I have had verapamil injections and they didn't help at all with the curvature but helped with the pain. But everyone is different.
I also advise you to fill out your signature on your profile.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Please do fill out your signature line and study our survival guide as this will give you a better understanding of peyronies and it's different treatments.
I am sorry for the loss of your father and I know personally the feeling, time will heal. The emotional side of having peyronies is just as bad as the disease itself. You need to see a qualified Dr which can be difficult. Then develop a strategy plan and adopt the mindset that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Keep your mind on the thoughts of recovering from this and you have the support of caring individuals who KNOW just what you are going through!
I think that the Verapamil injections would be a waste of time as any shockwave therapy. Educate yourself on VED and traction and Cialis. Pentox has come under scrutiny for actually improving anything but you can try it to see if it helps in your case. I don't know if the sleeping pills are worse for insomnia or weed? I believe that vaping marijuana is a healthier option than combusting it in regards to your lungs. Also I have read articles on low dose edibles helping patients with insomnia. You could try some and see. Remember that peyronies thrives in an environment of internal bodily inflammation. So any health changes to alleviate that would be a step in the right direction.

For sure others looking for the answer on this very topic will appreciate it.I went on a two hour bike ride the day of my 1st round of shots. I was on a road bike and I did HIT; 4 minutes on and one minute rest. My Dr. said that I would have no problems.

The Dr was going to give me the Xiaflex shot and I asked if he was going to give me Lidocaine first. I said that I would much rather have the Lidocaine, before the Xialflex.
