Among those of us who regularly coach guys about stretching, there is cumulative experience of well over fifty years, including formal medical experience of twenty-something years. Thus far, the evidence clearly indicates success. How much experience has your physician had in this area, and precisely what is his level of success?

>I don't think he's scaring anybody. He's not saying get surgery, he's saying have a doctor look at it.
>You SHOULD get a doctor's opinion, it's good advice. It doesn't mean you have to take the doctor's opinion.
>Hell you should go to more than one, get a 2nd opinion y'know.
>Besides how will you get the prescription for the cream?!
>I saw a doctor for phimosis - I was sure he would recommend a circ - I was ready to insist on the prescription but he beat me to it!
>Also, a wierd thing, my doctor said not to stretch - but I'm stretching anyway - so there you go - you have free will - you take his advice but do what you think is right.
>But have somebody with some ACTUAL medical training ACTUALLY LOOK at your junk (Jim Rome'ism!) in REAL LIFE. Use that, in complement, with the people here imagining your condition long distance and then do what ya gotta do.
>And as far as board conduct goes, man, I've seen AJ insulted and slandered over and over again and I've never seen him do the same. (Which by the way, I encourage AJ to continue - it must be hard, but if you lash back then you become just another net loon too.)
