Update with positive results.
This giant blister has been like a curse. Even though the surface of the skin is healed, that portion of the glans is still very weak and susceptible to another blister.
The plan for today was to stress relax for only 20 minutes up to 3kg, then follow with full 40 minutes of US (10 mins to reach target temperature, 30 minutes at target temperature) Followed by 20 minutes of cool down.
About 15 minutes into the US portion of the therapy, I started developing a sharp pain at the blister site. In order to avoid another long time delay, I took action. I reduced tension to only 1kg, stopped US and closed down on the IR lamp at about 8 inches of distance in order to preserve temperature. Kept it that way for some extra 10 minutes. Followed with 20 minutes cool down.
Results are:
Pre BPFSL: 23.9cm
Post BPFSL: 24.5cm
Strain: 2.5%
Based on this, since the therapy was modified in order to avoid blister, I was still able to accomplish a decent strain. Therefore it is my belief that next time I could target only 2kg of tension, I will most probably avoid that way any potential blister, I can complete the full intended 40 minutes with US, and perhaps achieve an even better strain.
