Brief Answer:
Need to change line of treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Thanks for the details .

From the description you have provided,it looks like you have developed Peyronie's disease.
Injection verapamil is a commonly used and effective treatment for your problem.
But since you have already received twelve injections without much relief ,I would recommend you to discuss other treatment options with your treating doctor .
Although there are various other agents which can help in your problem like collagenase injection or interferon injections ,but a direct assessment of the type of plaque is essential to judge if medical interventions would help or if there is a need for any surgical intervention.
So my advise would be to consult your treating doctor again and discuss other treatment options .

Brief Answer:
See a urologist

Hi again

I am sure your doctor must have assessed your case well and advised you.
But since medical treatment is not helping you much ,you can consult a urologist and discuss the need for surgical excision of the plaque .
