Serious concern about injury please help!

hello everyone im going to try and keep this short but i need to go in depth so you can fully understand. Please take the time to read and help a brotha out i need serious options on my situation, this is the only place i can turn too. So ive lurked on PEgym for about 4 months contemplating starting exercises but would never go through with it because i would for the most part read success stories about growing penis size to reassure myself that if i REALLY wanted to make my penis bigger i could. Ive always been self-conscious about my size.

Anyways, on May 31 2016 i finally told myself i was going to go through with it and start up on June 1st. On the night of May 31st i decided i was going to take before pictures to track my progress. For a little background on me im 24 years old and i always felt i kind of suffered from ED so the past 4 years or so i started wearing cock rings (the hard rubber ones that you place at the base of the penis not around the balls) during sex and even when i masturbated. They made my dick super hard and i would last forever it was awesome and it made me feel like a champ. Mind you ive never had any issues wearing cock rings even if they were to tight. I always felt fine right after using them and yes i ejaculated with them on, no problems. i also edge with them on pretty much every time i masturbate even before i knew what edge was.

Back to the story now. So the night of May 31st i was wearing a cock ring and it was a smaller one that i have and have worn a bunch of times with no problems, its pretty tight. I took my pictures and measurements, ejaculated and said i was going to start my exercises the next day June 1st. Feel fine and go to bed about 12 am. Wake up the next morning still feeling fine. I get in the shower for work and after about ten minutes of my junk being under the hot water i just say screw it for whatever reason and decide to wet jelq a little alternating hands for about 5-10 total reps i cant remember how many but ive never jelqed before, EVER. im pretty knowledgeable in PE from lurking on here so much so i didn't yank my dick like a fool or jelq with a super tight grip because im aware that you can injure yourself. Get out of the shower feel fine, this was at about 7 am. Later in the day i go to take a pee at work and notice the skin on the sides of my penis feels numb to the touch around the base and a little up the shaft, the head was fine. i had no discoloration, bruising, or swelling. So i didn't really think anything off it and thought it would go away.

The next day Jun 2nd i wake up and it still feels the same. Now im like f*** what did i do? Get to work kinda freaking out because ive never had this issue before. Come on here and start looking through the injury forums to see what i did and if anyone experienced the same thing. Found info on hard flaccids but that didn't apply to me, found info on venous leakage thought maybe that could apply to me because i was trying to get a boner at work and couldn't but i think that was because i was freaking myself out and got into a shitty mental state. later in the day i ended up getting an erection but didn't masturbate just wanted to see if i could get one and it felt pretty normal except for it having that numb feeling. My main concern at that point was is my penis gonna ever stop being numb and what were some methods i could use to recover, masturbation was obviously out of the question. I found some information on supplements i could take like multi-vitamins and things like L-arginine to help get more blood flow to my penis for recovery.

The next day June 3rd i wake up with no improvement so i continue to research at work and end up going to GNC on my lunch. i pick up a 30 day bottle (90 pills) of 1000 mg L-Arginine Capsules 3000 mg a day, GNC Mega Men Performance and Vitality VitaPak Multivitamin. Get back to work and take the 3000 mg of L-arginine and decide to start the multivitamin the next day because i didn't wanna take it that late in the day around 2 pm.

Fast forward a week June 10 i hadn't really seen any improvement (maybe a little bit) in the numbness even after taking the pills and i was also using a hot rice sock at night to try and further increase circulation to my penis. That night i slept over at this girls house that ive been talking to and was scared shit-less that we were gonna end up having sex because i didn't want to injure myself further and i hadn't masturbated since the night of my injury over a week earlier. We didn't end up having sex but at one point my dick got super hard so that was a good sign i guess but im thinking that was due to the multivitamin and arginine. That Sunday June 12 i ended up masturbating to see if i could even get a hard enough boner and also to see if i could ejaculate. I ended up getting a pretty hard boner and busted really quick like 30 seconds which i NEVER do but was very careful when masturbating just focusing on the head. After i busted i used the rice sock to prevent damage.

Fast Forward to today Friday June 24 a little over 3 weeks later still taking the vitamins and pills but haven't been using the rice sock at night. The numbness is still there a little bit but now for the past week ive been getting intermittent pain throughout the day around the base of my penis that kind feels like a pinched nerve? and travels to my testicle sometimes. i have also noticed that all the veins in my penis are much more visible/protrude more, could be because of increased blood flow? Today i also masturbated and this would be the 4th time since the injury and im worried because i literally bust in 30 seconds every time which ive never done unless i tried really hard but its still very rare, i could sit there and masturbate/edge for hours up until now. As of now my erections are pretty damn hard so i think the supplements might be helping in that area. Also i HAVE NOT put the cock ring on since my injury.

So my concern is do you think i have increased sensitivity due to my injury/messing up the nerves or do you think its from the multivitamin/arginine? what do you think the pinched never kinda pain is around the base of my penis/testicles , could it be due to increased circulation from the supplements trying to heal it? what do you think caused my injury, the cock ring being to tight and then jelqing on top of that in the morning caused damage to the healing nerves causing the injury? is there anything else i can do to help it heal? and what your overall opinion is on my situation. thanks so much for reading my story and any feedback would be so appreciated this is the only place i can turn for help. thank you!

Let me ask you; when you jelqed was it any harder than when you masturbate?

Is it safe to masturbate erect over the glans? Do you know many people who have added significant size to their penises through masturbation?

[BigO AdministratorPEGym Hero Find all posts View Profile Close BigO]

Do you use paragraphs? That hurt my eye nalls.

If you could, please edit the wall of text you will get more responses.

Here I go making a type O while telling someone to use paragraphs!

Masturbation/sex is an act of rubbing your dick up and down, to pursue pleasure, while jelqing only goes up up up.. The question should be if you get pleasure from jelqing, not if you jelq as hard you masturbate Also masturbation uses all 5 fingers which means more area but less pressure.. I don't know what to say anymore

The direction of force means nothing. It is the amount of force that can cause an problem. Most guys jerk off much harder than they jelq. I doubt the OP injured himself my doing a few jelqs. The cockring on the other hand can cause problems

Right, but none of that really matters. The key point is that many people have significantly enlarged their penises through jelqing, but not masturbation, which demonstrates clearly and inescapably that the jelqing is putting some type of pressure on the penis that masturbation does not.

If this simple fact isn't enough, then people can also consider that people masturbate for extended periods of time erect and over the glans without warming up. In an environment where some people say SAFETY FIRST! comparing jelqing to masturbation is inaccurate at best, and dangerous at worst.

Yea.. If you read my post again, I was actually agreeing with you in that jelqing can't be comparable to masturbating. I just quoted the wrong person :P

[Nimble Banned Find all posts View Profile Close Nimble]

No I know, I just quoted you to emphasize why you were right. The criticisms there were directed at someone else who was trying to use vague theorizing to mislead people. With some people it's best to stick with the really really simple facts to not give them an opening to conjure up excuses. I think what you were saying was right though.

sorry man i wasnt really thinking of that. i just separated it into sections so its easier to read. If you read my post do you have any options on my injury? or about whats going on?

Do you use paragraphs? That hurt my eye nalls.

If you could, please edit the wall of text you will get more responses.

To be honest with you ive always been pretty rough with my penis while masturbating or having sex with no issues. thats why this is so confusing for me. thanks for the reply!

sorry man like i told O i didnt really think about it when i posted but now i fixed it. Anyway can you read it and give me your opinion? thanks for the reply!

The direction of the force means the motion going up is always countered/reset by going down in masturbation, you're not doing an infinite abuse towards the glans, also like I said you're using 5 fingers + your palm (or whole vagina wall for that matter) so the pressure is distributed equally in the shaft instead of concentrated below the glans with 2 fingers..

Btw, I agree with you that a few jelqs, especially in your first day, definitely won't give anyone injury unless you're some kind of crazy person. When you learn about jelq first time, almost everyone is gonna start slow and see how the dick reacts and most of the time your first jelqing sessions will give you benefit instead of injury.. But OP said he's somewhat been suffering from ED since the last 4 years and also wears cockring, this might indicate that his dick is weaker than normal (low testosterone levels?) and probably is more prone to injury I don't know..
