Thanks man. Ironically, for 2016 - I want to NOT think / talk about penile issues. It\'s been 6 years now since I had Peyronie\'s disease. It\'s been a nightmare, and anyone who thinks they can talk to me like that is out of their minds...or has a dysfunctional mind (which is what I suspect - given the posts). My goal is not to ruin Avanti\'s practice, as the first two rounds for me were life changing, and if I was content with 4.5-5.0 (tapered)
Girth, I would have never had any of this nightmare. But, there are guys who start at 5.5 and keep going. The point of my last 9 months of posts is that IF you have these problems - this is how you should (and should not) fix them. Unfortunately, they read more like anti-
PMMA ads. That wasn\'t what I wanted - and I think it unnecessarily pissed off Dr. C and Wade (maybe - I don\'t really know.)
The only thing I want to say that may not be well received is that I disagree that there is nobody at fault, but I take your other points and appreciate you\'re the only one who replied in this. I said to S.O. a long time ago that the only reason I am able to contribute as much as I do is because of how well moderated this board is. He\'s been offline, so he hasn\'t seen any of this - but I still stand by that statement I made about 2 years ago. These are incredibly personal and sensitive issues. Someone with aspergers (or whatever is wrong with him) doesn\'t have an understanding of that. He was the first and only person in 2 years to write like that, but there\'s no way to ensure he will be the last - or if the lack of responses from other people is a tacit agreement with him on some level. I have been through e-n-o-u-g-h...and this board is one of the only reasons I probably didn\'t shoot myself in the head while I had a
Dick that felt like a sack of frozen peas and leaking wounds for months.
Just to recap my history for 6 years (and why I might be sensitive about this topic):
The Start - 2010-2013
- Peyronie\'s Onset 2010
- Limited results with trental & Arginine w/ traction - but seemed to halt the process
- Failed Verapimil injections into the plaque - hit
Girth low point at 3.7
- My situation progressed to a point where I finally had plication surgery . I was back to about 4\"
Girth through the surgery maybe helping somehow.
- Some of the curve returned over two years, as is a known risk...but not ideal.
PE /
PMMA
-
PMMA Round 1 2014 - Good result
-
PMMA Round 2 - 2014 - Small result but no problems
-
PMMA Round 3 - 2015 - Disaster
Last 9 months - 2015
- 30+ injections of
Kenalog and 5 fu weeks 2-12 - all showed no response
- 2
Nodule excisions, one of which left an open wound
- Saw a plastic surgeon to fix the open wound...he made it worse by using silver nitrate (AND REFUNDED MY PAYMENT). He didn\'t \"scoff\" at anything.
- Saw a wound care specialist who was shocked at what the plastic surgeon did. Gave me Skintegrity gel until I could schedule surgery.
- Wound Excised in operating room by
Urologist & punch excision done of lower
Nodule.
- Lower
Nodule punch excision did not heal for 6 weeks.
- Lower
Nodule had to be excised with surrounding skin in operating room by same
Urologist. (So, a total of 1/2\" skin lost on one side, making the other side bunch up and look lumpy).
-
Radiesse \"
Revision\" - that had good results at first but it wasn\'t really enough product to smooth things out for $700 - it\'s too costly to add a lot of it.
Present- 2016
- Scars are now turning into keloids / hypertrophic (not where my
Urologist did it - where my derm did it and it was stitched improperly).
- Due to the keloids (that look almost like genital warts since they are white and raised), I saw a better plastic surgeon who said the use of silk
Sutures by my derm was completely wrong - and not burying
Sutures was a clear error (agreed with my
Urologist -which prompted this post). He put dilute
Kenalog in the keloids, but he said it will also probably have to be excised since he\'s never even seen a scar like that on the penis and there\'s still
PMMA under there, making the inflammation continue.
Now... I invite anyone to go through this... for 6 years (and still things are abnormal).. and then come back to me and think the things that were said to me in this thread were okay.
The guy I\'ve been seeing (open relationship obviously due to my inability to have sex for 6 months) is a lawyer. He wrote the letter to my plastic surgeon, which I signed...and I got my money back. He also wrote the letter to one other provider in my penile nightmare history who I am not allowed to disclose due to the settlement agreement (who also refunded me). My lawyer / friend stayed out of it - he just wrote the letters - but they came from me. So there are 2 providers here who felt that they should give me my money back. Nobody \"scoffed\". They didn\'t even argue with it. Maybe they were scared of a bad yelp / realself review - maybe they just felt bad (because unlike JD, they have human emotions - not reptilian ones). But, they knew my result was disastrous, one way or another.
My lawyer friend also read this thread, and his comments were asinine. A non-physician / non-lawyer with no experience in medical / legal disputes is flipping out because he is shown as knowing nothing & making some comment about how I went to the \"Jiffy Lube\" of dermatologists...who would \"scoff\" at any letter (that was totally false - but just the start) He knows nothing. He can\'t see this because he\'s fucked in the head. Still, he just went on and on and on for 2 full days attacking me with my personal info in other threads. Every single weak & pathetic \"argument\" he tried to make, I crushed easily. But, he\'d just ignore all that and keep going. (my friend said it reminded him of the Trump candidacy - every time he says something horrendous that would get a normal politician
ed in the polls - he does better and says even more absurd things...though trump is actually cognitively a smart man underneath all the bs he\'s been spewing)
Are people not participating in this thread because they\'re afraid JD will go after them next? See, it\'s already starting. That\'s why this board can\'t keep people like that on here.
I said it two years ago - and I\'m saying it again, now. The only reason I have contributed as much as I have is because people like that were NOT here.
