Greetings to everyone
My story just started: Woke up one night (Sept 15) with a bad pain. Went to the bathroom to have a look and was horrified to see my penis bent back at the head! I hoped this was just a bad dream and went back to sleep. Next day discovered it was the same. Has gotten worse since. I have spent hours every day on the internet to understand this condition. Im happy to find this forum.
After researching on the internet I pretty much could understand my condition. I went to a doctor to get a confirmation and maybe some encouraging words. he agreed it was Peyronies Disease but could not offer any advice on treatment, in fact I think i knew more about it than he did. He presented the official line to wait and see what happens and maybe surgery if things got worse. I told him it was difficult to sleep since i am waking up every two hours with painful erections. He advised ibuprofen. Im not willing to just wait. Based on information from various sites i have started a program of treatment. Vitamin E, C, L-Arginine, L-Carnitine, MSM. I apply heat and massage with Vit E oil. I then apply DMSO. I can only hope and pray that there will be improvement. I am 57. I cannot think of any event that might have caused injury. Since the onset of this condition I have tried to avoid sex with my wife. I am embarrassed for her to see my deformed penis and erections are painful. I cannot imagine going the rest of my life like this. I am trying to remain hopeful and keep my spirits up but I can see that it would be easy to fall into a depression. This site provides good information and needed support for those inflicted with Peyronies Disease. Good luck to all.
