Vagabond is 100 percent correct on. Protocol to inflation ! No pain no gain!

Now, I just cycled for 30 minutes, for the fourth day and it does seem to already be straightening out. I'm particularly encouraged by Kosh going from 4.5 to 5.75! I am also at 4.5, so here goes nuthin.

I am 4 weeks and a day out of surgery. Yesterday, my doctor inflated me for the first time and now, instead of curving upward (from Peyronies), it curves to the the right.
He told me not to be discouraged, that twice daily cycling will eventually help break down the residual scar tissue from healing and in turn lengthen it.
I knew, from reading this forum, that guys often increased their length over time. My question is if anyone has been in a similar situation with a curvature and how they fared.
Thanks!

I thought not to cycle till 6 weeks after surgery.

If you can, try cycling 3-5 times a day for 30 minutes each.

I have Peyronies and was implanted. I had a mild upward curve and to the left. Mostly had shortening from verapamil shots. Implanted on 9/6/18. At six week activation I was 4.5” length. I have been cycling every day for 1 hour ( usually around bedtime) I am now approaching 5 3/4” length.
Larry- the studies I have read about growth from cycling state to cycle between 1-2 hours a day. Do you feel it is more beneficial to divide this time up in half hours? And why? Thanks!

Depends partly on the surgeon (Dr Eid, by reports I have read has patients cycling in days, not weeks) and the individual particulars of the patient (how the surgery went, anatomical details, etc).
So, everyone will be different.
There was one study I read that tested "Early Activation" vs "No Early Activation" and found great benefit in early activation, but patient tolerance for the process created a very high dropout rate. That is, it is hard to do because it hurts!
Talk to you surgeon/urologist if you think you are ready to start cycling (without or with sexual activity) earlier than 6 weeks.
