My dick has been numb and flaccid for 4 days

Could you move this to injuries please, I am sorry, thanks in advance.

Hi I’m not that active in forums in general so please don’t think my post is “trolling” to give you bad rep.

This winter my life was pretty miserable, I’ve since improved my life situation a lot but now I’m worried .
I’ve started PE this winter so roughly 7-8 months ago. I kept at it for maybe 3 months and got great results quick (I’ve probably used to much force all too quick).

My dick hurt back then but it was so little and happened very rarely and not while stretching and jelqing which I did in the shower, I also dry stretched with low force flaccid, maybe 40% jelq 60% stretch(50%dry/shower).
All this was done while never erect.
I also have had a pulsating feeling since maybe 1-2 months after winter that was also minor but happened more than the minor pain(albeit very rarely too).

Anyhow I went from 5.8 to 6.3 inches and was so happy, it however felt like my erections from the period which I stopped till now was more random in regards to strength. If I rested for like 3 days between times it was really good, if not I frankly used a bit of a death grip which is the crux of my situation I sadly think(not insane hard but too hard in retrospect).

Fast forward til 2 weeks from today ->

Last week I’ve been very horny(don’t know why exact) but also noticing what I thought was bad (I told myself to stop masturbation but it was too late), I had slightly weaker erections and the pain was a bit more frequent but still and I have NEVER had a pain which made me go AW/twitch/”fuck that actually hurt a little” or anything of the kind.

This sunday (4 days ago) I masturbated “for the last time.” before I was planning to go for my break. Anyhow after that my penis felt really numb and I’ve not been able to achive even a 30% erection since (from free will(Important I think)).
The puslating feeling is overtaking the pain(still rare and not much) now, it feels like some nerve is healing (can’t pinpoint where and I’m not hurting anywhere. But maybe 65% underside of penis at base(+a little under(inside me)), rest “in” the penis and I relate the feeling to when I sprained my back years ago.

I haven’t masturbated or even made any “moves” or tried to get it erect.

If I “try” to force an erection without touching it wiggles like 20 up if 0 is lying down and 100 is lying down on the other side flaccid, I can also move it from lying forward to backwards if I try somewhat hard. Sometimes these few days it seems to subtract a little into me instead of growing outwards if I “command” it to grow.

I’VE HAD 2 ERECTIONS since the breaking point of 4 days(hand masturbation), they have both been at the time of me waking up from ~6 hours sleep. When these 2 have happened they have been lasting for 15 and 25 seconds~ and they’ve been strong. I’ve not used any kind of force to the penis these 2 times, but the second time I touched it at different places and I had okay feel everywhere(I didn’t cover it in detail though).

My gut feeling is that a nerve is damaged, and that it hopefully isn’t severe (praying). My plan is to not masturbate or have sex until it has felt really healed and when I have erection try to keep it for as long as possible to support bloodflow.

I use warm shovers, vitamin B12, anti inflammatory regular medicine, tea and hot wet blanket(in bed) and lifting weights(blood) as remedies. I try to let it rest as much as possible.
I’m like numbed while flaccid but I can feel every touch from fingers etc.

Last 4 days have been a rollercoaster of emotions, I told my boss I might go impotent if I’m unlucky but just said straight up I got my nerve damaged(without knowing 100% sure) so I’m on leave right now and I like my boss she is caring. Cried quite sometimes and overall very depressed and worried. I was very happy today from waking up to ½ of the work day cause I’ve had 2 erections which seems promising so early, but after lunch the 2 days I’ve worked this week, I went home cause of stress/worryness and now I’m on leave (didn’t work first 2 days of week).

What can I expect, I think I covered it in detail?

I very much could use some support but still deliver it to me if it’s bad! Regards.

Not a clue why you told your boss about this.

Your main problem right now might be your own brain thinking negative thoughts, even when your body is trying to tell you that you are healing. Your brain is the ultimate influence on getting and maintaining erections, that is why morning erections are possible, because your brain is out of the equation.

It is time now to start believing very positively that your healing process is well underway and you should really try to enjoy a masturbation session.

No PE allowed!!!!

Thanks very much for the answer Gprent.

I will however be honest and say that I’m still really scared. I too think from what I’ve read that I’ll be lucky.

I told my boss cause I like her and I would very much have all the support I can on this. I don’t think I’ll lose respect in her eyes if I heal.

Please don’t take this the wrong way but I’m a little worried you are biased since you mod here.
I’ve read all kinds of stories these past days and I’m maybe just paranoid since it’s do much on the line.

I’m 26 y/o and healthy, the 30% erection part is my absolute max and 99% of my wake time I can’t pump any blood in it feels like. I can wiggle it always and I got a tiny bit more wiggle power than yesterday.

I will rather wait too long with masturbation, I hope you understand this and if you disagree why? If I masturbated now I feel like there would be pain and I might setback myself cause I’ll be begging from flaccid.

Do you have any recovery timespan guess? Not only you but others as well.

Also would you think this is one of the cases that can result in very bad ED problems? If not, why exactly? Morning wood?

I’m sorry for asking so much but I got half a romance with a girl and my life is on the line. Either depressed for life or continue like before , I’ve been lucky with my genes and I would never forgive myself if my social market value goes from a 7 to a 2.

Kind regards

Edit: Is numbness even if cured or reduced EQ or any of the kind to be expected if/when I manage to get a self produced erection?

Continue to refrain from masturbating, it can potentially prolong the healing process. Do you have any visual indicators or markings or discoloration on your penis? Don’t worry too much, the first days after an injury are the worst, and a shit ton of negative thoughts spiral through your head. It’ll get better.

Being a mod has nothing to do with my response. I am a guy with a penis and I have done a lot of PE in my life and have gone overboard more times then I would like to admit, but one thing remains constant. The human body has a remarkable capacity to heal and you are just going to have to be patient and allow the healing process to continue.

You can help it along by getting good sleep, good nutrition and good regular exercise. Enjoy your Swedish summer and go out to some of those wonderful topless recreation areas that I loved to visit when I was living there. :)

Thanks for reply!

I will.

No discoloration or visual damage except for minor shrinkage which vanishes even I shower at hot mostly or hot/cold.

Aight I got it to like 50% erect now reading about g spot and gently massaging my base and tip.

I think I’ll be fine sorry for doubting you. I’ll be smiling at work tomorrow maybe(free to come).

I will try to enjoy summer and thanks alot for the mental help!

Btw this is a tip for your site maybe have your signature in caps red somewhere you can’t miss it. :)

Thanks

Update

Not cured yet but pretty hopeful.
My base is hurting
, It hanged in a strange angle like 4 times, not curved but like if you rotated the base so that it rotated clockwise while flaccid, which has scared me (not anymore) and I think I masturbated too soon.

I can get erections pretty easily but my underside base (think corpus?) seems like it’s unattached(not much) to my core penis. It sorta wiggled upwards without rest of penis following if Iied on my back like a week ago after using it erect.

It feels like it will heal I hope, but now I take warm and hot showers and it’s a sort of pulsating minor pain that feels like muscle straining healing. Slight pain similar to growth pain, ache in underside base and a slightly red discoloration on tip are my symptoms now. I can’t use it cause the pulsating pain apparently get worse.

It looks normal just hangs a bit freely sometimes in regards to angle from base(not curved).

It’s been a month but I hope I’ll be fine in 1-2 more.. Dunno if I’ll suffer ed problems but I seem to still be able to get 100% erections just that the base is a little detached so up/down motions seems really bad at the moment.

Still worried though.. :S

Oh and it sorta sound sometimes when I take hot shower. Sounds like a weak stomach growl, followed by a feeling of slight muscle relief, some times it just the feeling and no sound.

Before it happens it’s that pulsating minor pain like the muscle rewiring and sorta tries to tangle somewhere cause the hot water is forcing it to work.

All my feeling is fine otherwise. My balls, especially my left seems to retract upwards towards the base sometimes but it happens mostly in the shower.

That should be good, I guess?

Anyone know anything? I’m starting to get scared again. My base feels a little disconnected as I said but it’s a minor feeling. It still feels attached but not as much.

Eating anti inflammatory, shower hot/cold and walking basically. Also in showers sometimes on hot it goes to some hard flaccid state where it looks a bit too blood filled but really healthy shape.

I was erect yesterday just to let it heal like that but now I’m thinking about just waiting flaccid for 8 days and see where it leads. Being erect seems to maybe slow it down a bit.

I’ll update in like a month if no comments. Regards

Worry always helps out with healing. Also giving yourself a stomach ulcer will help get your mind off your penis. Why not just forget about everything, leave things alone, and you’ll heal unless of course you don’t want to heal and if so just keep thinking the way you are thinking!

I think you are way too concerned about this. Leave it alone and let it heal. PE success is done by creating micro tears in your penis fibers (stretching) which heal relatively quickly. However, if you are too vigorous in your PE, you will cause larger tears to develop which extend the time for healing. What you are now suffering with in addition to the need for extended healing time is fear of the unknown. That fear, combined with the stress of life, job and relationships is causing your erectile dysfunction. Rely less on your brain and more upon the natural functions of your body. If your morning wood is good, then you are getting better.

I’ll try doing that! Thanks for your answer.

No morning wood today. I’ll give it a month and try to leave it be a lot. Thanks!

No one gets, or even notices morning wood every morning. Sometimes it happens while you are asleep and you don’t even know it.
