For Peyronie Disease "Painful and stressful. It seemed to break up plaque a little after the 2nd round. No further progress after that. By the 3rd round, there was more plaque developing and curvature actually got worse. I only give it more than one star because I do believe it helps a few people, but not a high percentage. It was worth trying at least."

For Dupuytren's contracture "Had this procedure done 2 weeks ago, and it’s coming back. Waste of time and money. Extremely painful and stressful."

For Dupuytren's contracture "Didn't work for my Dupuytren's in left ring finger and pinky. The cord was broken in my palm after being manipulated, which was after the injections of Xiaflex. Left hand became very swollen and bruised after the injections. Two weeks later, I can't see much at all improvement. Glad I tried it, but won't do it again. Not worth the pain, stress, and possible really bad side effects. I'm 79."
