I\'ll add my experience here in case it\'s helpful for anyone. I also have some questions of my own.
I had round 3 with Dr C. 3 months ago. 11CC of 30% and 4 CC of 10%. I gained quarter of an
Inch. Happy with the result but I got nodules at each of the 4 entry points.
Wade suggested to wait 2 months and then review it. After 2 months 1
Nodule disappeared completely. 1 became smaller and the other two stayed the same. Two of them are like little metal ball bearings. They\'re small but really hard. The third is soft and probably the size and shape of a squashed pea.
All 3 of these lumps/nodules are very close to the surface. They feel like they\'re on a higher level that the rest of the
PMMA. I can hold each one in my fingers and pull it away from the shaft.
Wade recommended to break up with cannula and inject with
Kenalog or just surgical excision. I decided to visit Dr N. as I\'m in Ireland and it\'s a lot easier for me. I saw her 2 weeks ago and she broke them up with a cannula and treated them with \'Urbason 40mg\'. I\'m not sure if she injected into the nodules or just around. She recommended to do 10 minute gentle massage of the lumps twice a day for the first 2 days and once per day for the next 5 days.
So far the lumps look very slightly smaller, perhaps a bit softer. They\'re a long way from being un-detectable but she has told me the treatment will continue to work over the coming weeks.
I\'ll update on my progress in case it is effective and can help others. I have some technical questions if anyone is able to help:
1) what is this Urbason 40mg. Is it like a
Kenalog?
2) would it be safe for me to try DMSO now? I feel I should probably wait till the Urbason has finished working which Dr N. Said would be a \'few weeks\'.
3) does anyone know where I could get a
Kenalog injection in the UK? I\'m sure this would be more effective.
Photos are before treatment. Dr N was great by the way. I really liked her and felt very comfortable. I am however considering a mad 2 day mission to Tijuana to get these kenalogged or removed surgically by Dr. C.
