Title: Implant now or wait?
Post by: JayGould on May 21, 2017, 03:26:23 AM
Injured myself 5 months ago, have lost 1 inch of length and 1 inch in girth, as well as having a 50 degree curve/bend to the left. Symptoms getting worse with VED use, probably cause it further tears my tunica. I believe I had a minor fracture.

If you were me, would you get an implant asap or wait for it to somehow magically repair itself? I am thinking that if I get the implant done before the scar has calcified, I may be able to gain some of my girth back.

Don't wait for, it will never happen in my opinion.

What treatment you are doing except VED?
How long you are using VED?

I am using Pentox (2000mg/day), Cialis (2.5mg) and sometimes L-Arginine.

Only used the VED twice. Made it worse. Can't use traction either because of a different injury (from manual stretching).

I would not combine arginine and cialis.

If you do, make sure you aren't driving or on a ladder.

How so? Lowers blood pressure?

Yes, exactly.

Arginine dilates the blood vessels...

Usually I take L-Arginine in the mornings and then Cialis at night. Also take a bunch of other blood pressure reducing meds but no issues so far. Have a blood pressure monitor, I recommend using one.

So I'm guessing no need to try Xiaflex or some other surgery first?
