well. im not sure ive made much progress, but it "seems" a very small improvement. nothing in the daytime has gotten better though. if i could get past this sensitive tip with burning feeling that comes on all day when im moving , id be so much closer to feeling normal.
at this point, thats all i can hope for. 7 months in now, and im just not sure if or when it will ever heal. i know ive heard of it taking a long time for nerves to heal,but trying to stay calm and hopeful is really, really hard to do with no possible outlook.Been taking B12 for awhile now, but im sure some of the feeling is gone forever. But if it could stop burning , i could deal with that. going to ramp my exercising back up and try not to be depressed as much. but this is such a terrible terrible life.
masturbation is of no use anymore . it just irritates too much right now. i will say, the tip overall feels better now than it did a couple months ago, but that isnt saying much. at least it isnt cold as ice anymore and freezing my leg. and at certain parts of the day, it sort of relaxes and isnt shrunken to death. but for the most part, it stays terribly retracted,and zero libido or penis excitement unless its after ive gone to bed. Erections at night are hit and miss anymore. and most nights are very weak. sigh....keep going and trying is all i can do.
I've read and reread the entire thread multiple times, allowing things to sink in. I'm assuming the two visits to the urologist(s) came back as negative on issues. Also rest time/down time with supplement to assist, including MOS Red for 5mm tissue recovery also being used. The discussions also focused on possible nerve damage(s) as well. So, allow me to provide some insights I've gone through in the past with myself and those I've consulted with.
First, the irritation of the glans, especially near tip of the glans surrounding the urethra, or even inside the urethra itself.
- Irritation around the tip (not the urethra) and around near the corona (the glans's rim), commonly due to tissue fissures, or micro cracks. The tissue fissures can take between 3 days (commonly for cell regeneration to kick in) to 2 weeks (for a semi-full heal). The younger you are, the faster you heal, commonly with 10 days. Old folks with lower healing factors can take up to 4 weeks. I know it sucks just to treat tissue tears.
- Glans's deep tissue tears can also damage shallow nerve endings. The nerve endings can be as shallow as 2mm, and in a bundle, the nerve pains can be extreme. But there are different types of pains. You described it as burning pain. I'll go over it later as the glans is unique. Very unique. Nerve repair can be as fast a 4 days, and it can be as long a year, based on the severity of the nerve damage(s), and how much damage(s) were introduced in form of chemicals.
Damage of the urethra, and battling for 6+ months. I'm speculating you are reaching your ongoing 9 months battle now? If you still have that odd ball burning sensation, sense where the burn truly is. Phantom pains can be internal that travels externally, or external damages causing internal pains.
- If the pain is truly internal, you may have urethra damage. The internal pain cause under skin irritation. Since my wife is nurse, she dealt with those who have catheters. Phantom pains from the damage urethra lining create irritation along the entire penis shaft, as if ants tends to nibble beneath the skin.
- There may be skin damage, or scarring damage, that opens up during pumping session, causing odd itchiness sensation. This is where you observe where the irritation is truly occuring. A scope may be needed to inspect internally.
Glans damage from expansion. This is the highest suspicious culprit. Do you know that your glans actually have tastebud like neuron receptors? So, using pumps with water containing high minerals and sterilizing agents like chlorine, your irritation can be a monster lurking beneath the water. Rather than using water, use air only at a lower pressure.
@squirt_inducer_man and I modded our Bathmate, and mine has a gauge. Make a medical journal so you can record the pressure level, air vs water, and time, and see if the irritation comes on less, more, or none.
DLD indicated to use cortisone. Try that to see if the anti-itch and anti-inflammation can be surpressed. However, as I indicated earlier, if you have fissures and sensitive glans, it can cause more irritation than not. Antibacterial ointment (bacitricin) with zinc can assist in healing. Vit E and castor oil also assist with healing externally.
For me, when it comes to penile damage, I drink high level of vitamins, such as B12 (which you did), collagen (standard protein mix), Vit D, and iodine (most lack to boost immune system and cellular repair functions).
If you have internal scarring tissue, sensitive glans tissue not easily pliable for expansion, heat compress for 10 minutes before any PE may be part of your routine. During my starting days in the past, this was one of the must do on my list as my glans tend to have micro cracks easily if I don't expand using air pump only. Now, the Bathmate helps with tissue expansion (no need for bath soak). Just warm up the glans tissues in a small pool of slightly warmer water. When using the Bathmate to prevent air bubble, fill it to the rim, submerge the penis, create a nice seal, and then pump once to create light suction. No air bubble. If there's a small air bubble, sit down, pump while the bleeder is pointing up. Air bubble will be explunged.
Just somethings to consider.
