Hey guys just got back from the neurologist. He confirmed I have a dorsal nerve injury. He said this injury should clear itself up over time. The biggest thing I'm dealing with is this glove feeling every time I ejaculate. He prescribed Alpha Lipoic Acid to stop that busy feeling. As for the lack of sensitivity, he said it's a waiting game. He said I should be able to masterbate occasionally. What do you guys think?

Only time will tell if the prescription is any helpful or not. We're not professionals when it comes to this stuff so its best to stay on top of research and see if what your doctor prescribed as helped other people with similar problems.

I suggest strongly trying to break the habit. I've pretty much broke it and honestly it's been the best thing for me and my wife's sex life. Yes for you single guys married men still deal with this shit haha. Also if you can't break it and are going to continue I'd suggest getting something like a flashlight or similar as it's more natural then your hand and you may possibly be gripping to hard and injuring yourself when masterbating. I'm sure your thinking you'd know if you were doing that but believe it or not a lot of men grip to hard and this does cause injury it's common with chronic masterbation so just some different choices. I'll say after quitting the first 30 days which I know seems like forever your dick will never feel so great.

It usually does take 2-3 weeks to start something and get it going. That's how I started working out.

Not sure how long it has been for me, I will find the confessional thread to see. I know that it rarely enters my mind anymore, I feel such freedom from ���� and masturbation!

When you think about it though 2-3 weeks isnt that long. Anyone can do it to break or make a habit :)
 
So I masterbated consecutively for the past three days. The paleness and numbness have returned. I'm so fucking confused. Every doctor that I have seen has said masterbation is fine. I don't get it. I use cocoa butter and lightly masterbate. If I abstain from masterbation, how long? A month? A year? That just sounds ridiculous to me. The doctors say I am not injuring myself thru masterbation, but the paleness and numbness tell me otherwise. I'm so confused. Dealing with a lot of sadness because of this; feel very alone. I keep scaring myself, reading countless forums on men dealing with nerve injuries for many years with little to no improvement. Why did I have to do this to myself
 
How do you jerk off when your cock hurts? Thats like doing sprints with a fractured foot or toe. Its not going to heal without complete rest. Good luck though.

It's not that it hurts. I'll return to normal sensation, jack off a few times, and the symptoms arise again (pale, numb, can't get a strong erection). I have no problem taking time off, it's just a little confusing when literally every doctor says masterbation is fine, you know?

I would abstain for a month and see where you are from there. If the doctors are telling you one thing and that is not working I suggest taking our advice. A break will teach you much about yourself too, it is quite liberating.

Try abstaining at first for 1 week. Then release. Then try 2 weeks and repeat this process to see how long you can go for with comfort. 3 days in a row usually isn't best for me, for others it works. Learn how your body responds and adapt to changes you need in order to stay at a good erection quality and healthy penis state. I personally masturbate once a month. I may reduce this to ejaculating once every 3 weeks since I'm with someone now.

Are you currently having sex also? If so does this occur after Sex or just when you jack off?

I am curious as well, maybe abstain from jacking off for 2+ weeks and try getting laid.

Good luck neat dude, like everybody is saying you really need to be patient and let yourself heal. This will take time
 
Thanks guys. I haven't been having any sex recently, just masterbation. Also, tomorrow I set myself up w/ an appt w/ an ED doctor. I'm gunna try to get a penile Doppler scan done. Maybe the scar on the head of my dick means something. Ugh, this means they're gunna inject something into my dick with a needle

Well if at all possible I suggest you do as acro suggest and try to refrain from jacking off and possibly try getting laid a bit and see if the same thing happens. If this is a possible route that is.

If you fall do not be hard on yourself, this is a tough thing you are undertaking. 30 days will bring much into focus and show you places in your life that may be lacking. It is like fasting to cleanse the body, in this sense it is abstinence to cleans the mind.

Agreed. Was a very hard task for myself and I still occasionally revert for one day then back to months without just take it one step at a time.
 
So I saw the ED doc, I fear this might be a venous leak or a blockage in the penile arteries. I do think the nerves have healed a lot, but I'm still dealing with partial impotence some days. Trying to hold back tears during Christmas is going to be tough. Still waiting to hear back from the ED doc so I can go back and get an ultrasound done. Please god let me be okay, I'm only 25

You are going to be just fine and I will be sure of this as I will make a special request from Jesus to heal you quickly and bring security back to your mind. First, these issues can be dealt with and completely corrected, your doctor will prescribe and/or perform a basic procedure to correct this. After this is put in place you will find relief in about 3-4 weeks. It is Christmas, the only tears should be ones of joy! Be happy, enjoy Christmas and let you fears be on me, let me take this suffering and you relax! I will continually pray for you until your health is restored.
