Title: From perfect to horrible in 4 months - Trying a few things - I need some advice
Post by: Byzantine on July 07, 2019, 11:23:50 AM
Okay. Four months ago I noticed a slight bend to the left, just beneath the head. Googled it. Went to a urologist. He said it's Peyrione's and that it's not bad enough to do anything about it. He said if it gets worse I could get surgery, but my insurance won't pay for it.

I've been doing some manual traction, some heat therapy, taking some recomended supplements, and doing some VED. All in the ways I've learned here and from NeoV's videos on youtube.

It's just continuing to get worse at an alarming pace.

I don't know if or when I can see a Peyrione's specialist. There's only one in my state. I'm sure it's hard to get an appointment with him, and I doubt my crappy insurance will cover it.

Should I just stop with what I'm doing and wait awhile, or what? This is scaring the crap out of me. Seriously.

:(

Well, seems like you have a plan of sorts. Time for you to try on traction now? your througts on restorex?

If it's getting worse definitely add regular traction/VED, daily low dose PDE5i and pentox.  Be sure to read the survival guide:  Peyronies Survival Guide - Information for New Members - Peyronies Society Forums (https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.php/topic,3180.msg44057.html#msg44057)

I don't have money for restorex.

I don't know if my insurance will pay for any of that stuff. The uro (who struck me as a useless idiot) said he had never seen one case in 20 years where traction devices, shots, or pills helped anyone. So, he prescribed me nothing and had nothing useful to say at all. I guess I need to get a second opinion and demand some help of some kind.

The ESL40 traction device w strep is very inexpensive.  You def need an informed doc,
