Dr. Singh told me a week ago when we met that he got "all of it" ... unless of course there was any microscopic remnants still there... I got a new Girlfriend in the last two months (amazing girl from Ukraine) , and she is pulling my penis for me like crazy... shes actually amazing... she doesn't care what size he is at the end, as long as he works... so this is a huge help to my mental situation. Another note... the chest pain continues... Sternum, and left of sternum. It's still pretty bad.. wakes me up at night sometimes.. My H.pylori is gone, and my latest GI scope came back great.. no hernia anymore, or Barretts ... so my new GP doctor has a new hypothesis to my chest pain. He thinks that the PMMA inflammation caused a body wide inflammation reaction, causing chest wall inflammation .. and thus the pain. Even with the PMMA gone, the reaction could still be going on... so now I'm on a anti-inflammatory medication... I guess we'll see if that does the trick. Regardless, I had a very bad inflammation reaction to PMMA, and I'm feeling a lot better than I was in Jan/Feb. Mentally and Physically. Finally, I guess I was the first lab rat out of all of us to prove that yes PMMA is pretty much completely removable. So to any of you guys out there with PMMA ... I hope this helps any concerns, worry or mental anguish about PMMA ability to be removed. Again, I only had 1 round, so I should only be considered a case study, but at least it's something. Here are some recent pics... I'm losing Girth, and its starting to get wrinkled... the Erect length is still quite small, and there is a large bump under the right shaft, but its getting smaller. So I continue to do my pulling exercises! (Thanks Hoodle for the links!!)

Just read thoroughly before doing anything, start slow, don't race into it, and if it hurts its probably bad. I'd suggest going to Thundersplace.org They're pretty strict there at the forums, but I find it more helpful, with lots of resources for beginning stretching and beyond.

I still have a upper right scrotal mass that is moving up as I get more length ... it is almost on the penis shaft its moved up so much... I have a little inflammation still ... their is a small divot on the right side down by the base... There is slight sensation loss, but not very noticeable. It seems to be coming back more and more every week. I'm pulling and stretching at least an hour every day... Note the Flaccid picture is right after he came out of the stretcher ... he doesn't look that beat up normally. Also the strecher picture looks weird because the base is still swollen, so it doesn't go through the entire stretcher ... it's too fat. Anyways,,, Here are some latest pictures!

Before I got the PMMA removed --> The pain in the base and urethra was real ... it was really unbearable... I guess I'm just one of the unlucky ones. I remember running around my house on a conference call dying... the pain was terrible... I ended up going to the grocery store and getting a bunch of cranberry juice because I thought I had a UTI ... none of those issues any longer. Thanks to Hoodle who recommended a great all day stretcher ... I had a Kenalog shot last week, and it really relaxed it... Dr says it will take a year to feel "normal" ... but it already does for me. Sorry for the huge pictures, my penis is smaller now, so I need to compensate .. L I would say I'm a good 90% back to normal... however, I have more Girth than pre PMMA operation --- the length is coming back.. my new GF says this is fine for her, and she likes pulling my penis so... there's that... I asked the Dr last time I saw him how long my girlfriend should continue pulling my penis.. and he said "forever ... *chuckle*" Dark Please [Log in](https://j4.phalloboards.info/login.html?return=aHR0cHM6Ly9qNC5waGFsbG9ib2FyZHMuaW5mby9mb3J1bS9wYXRpZW50LXN1cHBvcnQtZ3JvdXAtcHJvZ3Jlc3MtcmVwb3J0cy82MTk2MzQyLW15LXBtbWEtdmVudHVyZS1nb29kLWJhZC1hbmQtdGhlLXVnbHkuaHRtbD9tYXJrZG93bj0xJnN0YXJ0PTkw) or [Create an account](https://j4.phalloboards.info/register.html) to join the conversation. ## Re: My PMMA venture -- good, bad and the ugly 13 years 2 months ago [\#1278200882](#1278200882) - **[Cya@8](https://j4.phalloboards.info/forum/user/1765495-cya-8.html "View Cya@8's Profile")** - [![Cya@8's Avatar](https://j4.phalloboards.info/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](https://j4.phalloboards.info/forum/user/1765495-cya-8.html "View Cya@8's Profile") - [ Offline](https://j4.phalloboards.info/forum/user/1765495-cya-8.html) - General - ![General](https://j4.phalloboards.info/media/kunena/ranks/rank1.gif) - Posts: 56 - Thanks: 0 - [ ](https://j4.phalloboards.info/pms.html?task=new&recip=1765495) > darkstaff wrote: I've never been allergic to anything before...

I've been taking Flecinide as a "pill in your pocket" approach. The plan is to only do ablation if I continue to go into AFIB in the next few months... for some reason my Cardiologist is pretty "pro-ablation" ... I guess the anti-AFIB meds cause ![heart](https://j4.phalloboards.info/media/kunena/emoticons/heart.png "heart") issues overtime. I'll keep the board updated ... I hope my posts help calm others out there that might have issues with PMMA ... I thought it was the end of the world ... I thought that PMMA was going to be my undoing ...

It helps a little, but its hard to get to a dose that really helps though because I turn into a damn zombie when I take too much. Im going to look into some other options.My ![heart](https://j4.phalloboards.info/media/kunena/emoticons/heart.png "heart") has actually been fluttering around a lot tonight. No pain, just extremely uncomfortable and it scares the shit out of me too when they get intense. i get them more when I am hot and tonight I have a fever and woke up with pink eye on Sat. Not my weekend...My cardiologist won't recommend ablation til I'm older (I'm 32). I don't actually go into AFIB, my ![heart](https://j4.phalloboards.info/media/kunena/emoticons/heart.png "heart") reacts adversely to adrenaline and upper chamber fires off a split second too soon. I've been told if i dont get more than 6 palpitations in a row not to worry about it. I would love to get an ablation as it would be just as life changing for me as pmma. (considering it actually works) I used to be in really good shape but as I got older the flutters got more intense as I worked out. It's prevented me from getting the physic I used to have.

You sounded to me like a text book case. In my experience most people have no clue just how physical anxiety can be. Even those who know they suffer from anxiety from time to time, still usually are absolutely unaware of how in the right circumstances it can become very physically intense. Most are hugely reluctant to accept this, but as someone who has been through it, I can tell you it's absolutely real. I think you should read these articles.

Lets face it, the source of the problem actually was PMMA and the swelling it caused. But I'm convinced this caused major anxiety and not a immune response as you think.

This is part of an PM exchange I had with one our members who was concerned he might have contracted an STD. I explained I'd had a similar scare and as part of my reply wrote the following: "I suspect that no matter what I say or how tiny the chances are you've contracted something, you'll still be worried for a few days or until the end of the week. You might even start to feel strange, burning sensations in your penis. I know i did, but it was all in my head." This happened to me after I got a BJ of a Thai masseuse having only recently read about the rise of cases of gonorrhea. Also, I didn't mention this in the PM, but I was convinced my penis was leaking some sort of discharge. I kept having to check as I could feel as if something were dripping out the end of my penis.

The inflammation was real however... but I do have a anxiety problem. I started taking anti-anxiety medication earlier this year and I'm feeling in general a whole lot better. I really don't think people like myself who have anxiety conditions should be doing anything PE related ... it's like throwing kindling on a raging fire... am I happy that I got the PMMA removed? ... in some ways yes... do I miss the girth I had ... yes .. but I definitely do not miss the pain. I have been keeping a medical diary since Jan of this year... and its about 70 pages of me describing pain and discomfort... however for a few weeks there I was doing great, it seems to coincide with the Kenalog shot I received... I think I was in the perfect storm ... I got a H.pylori infection in November... started going into AFIB, and then in December I got a Foreign body reaction / bump in my penis... I think I related the bump to the stomach/chest discomfort which made me panic and have the PMMA removed.... I feel better now, but more because the H.pylori was cured and the inflammation around my ![heart](https://j4.phalloboards.info/media/kunena/emoticons/heart.png "heart") is going down... Are the two situation connected? ... who knows.. my general doctor things the inflammation around my ![heart](https://j4.phalloboards.info/media/kunena/emoticons/heart.png "heart") could have been from a body wide reaction to the PMMA ... but thats just a guess ... nobody really knows. Oh well... I'm pretty happy that I'm recovering... and I just chaulk this whole thing up to understanding myself better from a panic / anxiety point of view. Best I can do now is calm other people down that might be in the same situation I was in. My best advice to anyone dealing with PMMA discomfort is to relax, deal with it, and don't get H.pylori Dark Please [Log in](https://j4.phalloboards.info/login.html?return=aHR0cHM6Ly9qNC5waGFsbG9ib2FyZHMuaW5mby9mb3J1bS9wYXRpZW50LXN1cHBvcnQtZ3JvdXAtcHJvZ3Jlc3MtcmVwb3J0cy82MTk2MzQyLW15LXBtbWEtdmVudHVyZS1nb29kLWJhZC1hbmQtdGhlLXVnbHkuaHRtbD9tYXJrZG93bj0xJnN0YXJ0PTkw) or [Create an account](https://j4.phalloboards.info/register.html) to join the conversation.
