UPDATE:

Thank you all for the help and advice. I've been able to somewhat comfortably use the Restorex for 30 minutes, starting with lengthening and then switching to curvature correction, two clicks down!

It's not pleasant but not unbearable. The big difference was overcoming anxiety around using enough clamping pressure. It seems like it would cause bruising and more scar tissue but after the first few seconds the pain goes away.

Fingers crossed that this will make a difference.

Oral Treatments for Peyronie's Disease / Re: CBD oil

I take CBD oil from this clinic (I'm subscribed to them), and so far, the symptoms are not as painful as they were. I'm convinced to go on with this treatment.

Hi epictetus008. How is your cylindrical sheath/ the tunica albuginea? Most uros told me they can zip up in that organ within a month or two naturally so I've been told. I'm kinda in the situation, sex injury, except I was flying solo, by myself when it happened.

I once had a Doppler/ MRI or ultrasound whichever one I mean. It was years after the injury maybe even a decade, he said my organs were still intact. Meaning= whatever the definition of intact is.

So if you're gonna try alleviating it on your own, unfortunately because of uros dismissing it, try a few of these:

Try sleeping a lot, because nocturnal erections are good for healing. Sleep with a sheet not a blanket as to not constrict your erections.

Abstinence, try not to touch your penis, masturbate, or play rough house sports. Only that plus time can hopefully help.

Good diet, lots of exercise. The more you walk, the better off you will feel. Endorphins, and good for the natural testosterone boosting through way of daily exercise. I'm not implying you have low testosterone, I am just quoting what the pelvic floor therapist told me: she said I should even throw in some bench press if I was brave.

Anyway don't pull hairs from down there. I know kinda weird statement but that is a thing called trichotillomania that some people seriously do have, an ocd imbalance.

Try not to watch porn or Racey material. You may need to stay out of harm's way while it's healing.

Stress levels: minimize stress. Easier said than done.

Be around positive people, people you trust or have similarities with you. Just going to the gym to walk the track with a buddy is funner than feeling stuck in life.

My uro told me too, that if I'm ready to use the equipment down there, to not stroke it vigorously because that would cause a relapse.

When I was cooking up a storm I used to eat a lot of raw onion. Imo it helps with the body's ability to heal jmo. Lots of fresh juices, milk calcium, etc.

Most of this stuff was told to me from urologist, pelvic floor specialist and holistic nurse. I pray that helps man.

Coping with the pain caused by Peyronies / Re: Help!!!
Last post by Mikel7 - Yesterday at 06:06:46 AM
Welcome to the forum Mikerey and thank you for filling out your signature line. It sounds like you have definitely been through a lot and I am sorry. Penile injuries and peyronies affects each man differently. The one thing we all share is the mental/worrying that accompanies this disease. The other thing that we share is this community that offers support and comfort and information.

I don't understand how the medical field operates where you live so I don't know just how many qualified Dr's you can choose from. If it were me I would still try to see another Dr until I got some correct answers. Have you have looked into traction and VED
therapy? I don't know if it would help you or hurt you though from what you have described. I can say adopting a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise will help you in the long run. Even just walking is a good start.

Have any of your Dr's suggested Cialis or similar drugs for erections and healing? Heat therapy also works wonders for eliminating penile pain. Study the forum and get a grip on your worrying. Just being here can be a big mental boost!  :)

I had rock hard erections (normal for me) within days of the PEG procedure It was so stiff, it pulled out suture under the frenulum. The Doc told me it is unusual to get erections within the first month or so after the procedure. Within a month or so they began becoming not so stiff. I was disappointed with the hardness and the ability to maintain as long as usual. I tried everything from pills,to devices to that Eddy thing(doesn't work. Don't waste your money). Suddenly, about a year and a half after the surgery everything turned back to normal again. I know this is anecdotal but, maybe it will give some hope to others that experience some decrease in rigidity after surgery.

I've been on a sugar-free, low-carb diet for a while now, and I've found it pretty manageable. Honestly, cutting out sugar and carbs has been a game-changer for me. I've felt more energetic and less bloated. Instead of the usual bread and sweets, I stick to whole foods like fresh veggies, lean meats, and nuts. They help keep me full and satisfied. If you're thinking of diving in, try focusing on nature foods. They're not only delicious but also super nutritious. It's all about finding what works for you and sticking with it.

Alternative Treatments of Peyronie's Disease / Re: 5 degree correction?
Last post by Mikel7 - October 02, 2024, 05:30:41 AM
Doing manual traction is setting you up for a possible injury. You have no idea what force you are applying. You also may not be pulling enough. Regular consistent traction with the Restorex or PMP is what is indicated. I am sure you could fit into your schedule 30 minute sessions with the Restorex. Doing it twice or 3 times a day. Also the PMP is not difficult using it either. You could do 3 hours in the early A.M and then repeat it in the PM. Doing nothing will give you nothing. Heat therapy is excellent at healing as I have used it in the past when I was in acute pain. I would reconsider traction and also look into VED therapy.

Welcome CharlieWilson to the forum and thank you for some info on your case. Please fill out your signature line -->Signature Line . Then please download and study our survival guide -->Survival Guide. This will give you an education regarding peyronies and it's different treatments.

Getting a correct diagnosis is the first starting point in this. Hopefully you can ask your urologist for an erect ultrasound. This can give a clear picture of blood flow and hopefully reveal and plaques or scar tissue. Then decide on a plan of action.

I would first say that you personally need to take some measurements of your penis. Length, girth, stretched length etc.. This is a baseline in case you star loosing size.

Usually traction and VED is what a lot of men use to try and treat their peyronies - read up on these two.  You are in the early or acute stage now and hopefully it wont last long. Also getting a handle on your emotions as being worried will do you more harm than anything.

Study the forum as you will get an understanding that this disease does not need to define you and can be successfully overcome. The mindset you need to adopt is that this is a marathon and not a sprint.  :)
