No harm in using the RestoreX sooner rather than later. Just keep your expectations in check. You probably wont see any change at all until you have your Xiaflex shot.

Hi all. Newbie here. Great site with a ton of great info. Thanks all.

I have about a 30 degree upward Dorsel bend, and a loss of length. It's been about a year or so.
I went to see a urologist in Orange County, Ca. Dr. Yafi, does anyone have any experience with him?
Long story short he recommended the Restorex and Xiaflex injections in my case. I ordered the device and will receive it next week, but my appointment for my first shot is not until mid March. Is it ok to start with the Restorex until then. I assume it should be fine.
I am not looking forward to the injections (who is?) I was treated 6 years ago for Meatal Stenosis by another urologist and that procedure was pure torture, a pain I never knew existed.

Quote from: Fortune on Yesterday at 08:12:34 AMI've lost a lot of length and girth - been like this for about a year now. I've seen some doctors claim that you can get an inch back with traction. There are some testimonials confirming some success individually. Is there any kind of concensus or solid research on what is best for traction to get back some length and girth?
Thanks

Lol, yeah plenty of "studies" but the conclusion they come to are pretty questionable.

As for regaining an Inch in length, I havnt seen anyone, anywhere on the internet prove they have been able to gain even a single centimetre. So make of that what you will...

Quote from: AnaDuck on Yesterday at 01:15:05 PMPre peyronies I was approx 7.5 inch length. Went below 7 with disease. With traction I am back to 7.25 and the counter bending is restoring girth for me. I recommend restore x.

Any before and after photos of these results? Would be encouraging to see.

Quote from: Ands on Yesterday at 05:02:03 PMEnded up finishing out the xmas/ny break by backing off a bit on the traction, was mostly just doing 1-3 hours maintenance work.. ended up having some complications at my condo so my hours were also a bit lower after break as well as I was a bit more active, but always aim for at least 1 hour a day.

Starting to ramp the hours back up, along with pushing length again.

Phys therapy
I also started physical therapy with a pelvic floor therapist, they didn't see anything super abnormal but it was just an external examination of penis / pelvic area, no internal exam.

Right now they have me doing stretches and strengthening exercises for hips/glutes/etc. Noticed that my left hip stability is quite bad, but my right hip also have some overcompensation and tightness in certain areas as well.

Though too early to see any progress here, but taking it seriously and look forward to seeing how it goes, regardless of if it helps the curve.

PMP Progress
Really no difference I can tell in the curve thus far since starting fully straight out stretching with PMP. I have logged 270 hours thus far with straight out.

definitely been feeling some depression about it, hearing friends talk about dating and wondering about me, and here I am just feeling like I don't even want to deal with that crap because of this. I should just do both and let the chips fall where they may so I don't waste my life away trying to fix this. ugh. Hard to vent to people without telling them about all this stuff, which is too much information.

Anyway. I'm still motivated to figure it out, I need to turn my focus back to progressing through the length, and one key thing is that I need to get back into progressive overload stretching, rather than just maintenance stretching which doesn't seem to get me far.

But I guess in the words of Mikel, it's a marathon, not a sprint. So maybe I'm on the right track, just too early on for progress.

I think despite what the manufacturers suggest, traction probably needs at least of a full year of constant daily stretching, on the higher end of the tension scale, to see even the smallest results.

Really makes me question how these studies managed to find a large number of men who were compliant enough to even arrive at their conclusions.

My instinct tells me there was probably a lot more guesswork than they let on because, as I have said many times, there isnt a single person on here who has achieved the kind of results they claim are possible.

You will definitely feel a big stretch with counter bending. Just release the tension a bit until comfortable.

I spend c a. 1000 Euro on doctor visits. I payed out of pocket to be able to see a top Peyronie's expert in Germany and to do hormone blood panel without a 6-12 month waiting list.

I payed 2000 Euros for a CBT Psychotherapy.

I payed c.a. 500 Euros on traction and vacuum devices.

I pay c.a. 400 Euros a year for Cialis and Supplements (I need Vitamin D, Zink, Magnesium and Fish Oil to help boost my male sex hormone production).

I started to spare 100 Euros a month in a surgery/implant account so that I have some money if I need it in the future. It is a strategy to reduce the anxiety of things becoming worse in the future.

So the 3000 Euros for medical professionals should have been covered by health insurance, but it is just so difficult in Germany to get good treatment in the public health insurance program in due time.
