Subject: helping the doctor understand

hi Robin, Louis, Stevo and all the people from the old forum. i only visited and posted a couple of times, but i can't state enough how important it is to so many people, myself included, that this forum is continuing, so thanks go to everyone involved in maintaining it...

i have had problems which resemble an 'atypical penis fracture' for around a year and a half now, and because i still don't have a diagnosis, i'm still waiting to hear from the NHS right now, (here in the uK) whether they will shell out and pay for scans/treatment to determine what's wrong. the unbelievable lack of support is ridiculous...basically their argument is that i am not worth spending money from their limited budget on, because they can't figure out a diagnosis for me yet. doctors/urologists have examined me, have seen photos of my erect penis bending to the left, and have straight away said 'peyronies' as usual, despite them not being able at all to feel any plaques/scar tissue, which in truth is the only definite way of saying that you have peyronies.

i know that i don't have peyronies disease, from researching cases on the internet (which annoys doctors) and reading stories from here. i dont have any 'disease' - my fracture/loss of sensation was a result of an accident... a direct physical, mechanical cause. the reason they have said 'peyronies' so far, is

a)because they've eliminated everything else, and in their minds it's the only thing it can be and

b)the photos i took of my penis for them to see the bend were of course of full erections; as no bend can be seen in flaccid state.

my argument is that, by looking at the fully erect penis, they aren't seeing the full picture and so don't understand what i'm trying to explain. a 'fracture' like mine causes a kink rather than a bend; this kink can clearly be seen when my penis is semi-erect, and i can see some sort of tissue damage where the kink starts. as the penis becomes fully erect, the penis stretches out and 'allows' for the kink, and arcs out smoothly to the left, making it appear to the doctor that there is a consistent curve.

what i want to do is help the doctor by taking loads of pictures of these different situations, semi-erect etc, and put the photos on aome paper where i can write explanations. who knows how long it would be, maybe even a small portfolio or something lol, but i reckon it will get my message across more effectively.

because as you know, at the moment i am getting nowhere with the NHS - i am annoyed at them for discounting anything other than peyronies and being so adamant, and they are annoyed at me because i won't accept their wrong diagnosis
