PE issues related to pinched spine nerve (Lumbar Radiculopathy)

[Duplextube Member Find all posts View Profile Close Duplextube]

Hello Everyone,

I have been reading this forum on/off for like 5 years due to chronic very bad PE and have tried like everything with very little success/progress at all.

In the fall I was started having numbness in my right toe, when I sit or lay down. After getting it checked out at a local hospital they diagnosed my problem being L4/L5 Lumbar Radiculopathy, which is basically a pinched nerve in my spine.

I've always noticed when I'm sitting or laying down what I always thought was pelvic floor tension when I sit down or lay on my back. Whenever I have this tension I usually have the PE problems, when I don't have the tension I am able to last longer (when I stand Im usually ok).

Now since my spine pinched nerve diagnosis I have noticed this pelvic floor tension that I mentioned above and toe numbness happen at the exact same time. If I sit in certain positions, or tilt my spine while laying on my back down I am able to essentially turn the pelvic tension/toe numbness on/off.

Now my problem is I want this pelvic tension/toe numbness to be gone permanently, and not occur in certain positions (when I sit/laydown, and essentially when I have more pressure on my spine).

I have a chiropractor appt set for next week which hopefully can resolve/help out with my pinched spine nerve, ideally then will help with my pelvic tension/toe numbness and finally my PE problem.

Now my question to this forum, is has anyone else had problems similar to this, and is my theory that my pinched spine nerve related to pelvic tension and pe possible or am I crazy?

Bump anyone else have any theories or ideas?
I've always had a tingling feeling in my PF when I sit in a chair or laydown on my back(a bed for example). I always thought this was PF fightness or Iks, maybe its related due to pudendal nerve issues?
I've been going to a chiro now for 2 weeks, hopefully it helps..

You may or may not be crazy but your theory is certainly possible .

I've read some things here about pinched nerves related to in the spine and/or Pudendal Nerve issues in the pelvic floor area possibly related to penis issues.

While my personal issue isn't 100% diagnosed, at a hospital in December, the doctor believed I had a pinched l4/l5 nerve based on my symptoms. I'll admit I never mentioned to her when we met my PE issues and how they might be part of my underlying issues (possibly Pudendal Nerve issues).

The doctor recommended physio(stretching/yoga stuff) as I am a healthy 35yr old male, and that should resolve my issue. I have been stretching for a while due to recommendations from this forum and my PE/toe numbness issues haven't gone away, hence me trying a chiropractor, since late January, and I will be trying that for 3 months.

But one thing I cant stress is whenever I sit/laydown on my back, my PF tightens/tingling, and through several years of reading this forum, no RKs or stretching has solved the issue yet.

I've been to two PF specialists over the last 2 years, both I'll admit are probably not experience with male clients with PE issues though.

Can anyone recommend anything besides stretching/rk/chiropractor for a possible nerve issue?

I've got lower back pinched nerves and also had issues with my sacroiliac joint. My basis was pain in my lower back and numbness in my dick leading to lifeless orgasms. They happen, just no joy other than the rest of my body reacts (increased heartrate, heavy breathing etc.) just no spark. Now I did experiment a few years back with marijuana and low and behold, had my orgasms back. Unfortunately, don't really know what strain I had because the second batch I got just made me paranoid without benefit to orgasmic pleasure. Several years later, I still have a good portion of that batch left and won't use it.

I did the chiropractor thing until I was told that my back was broken and he stopped actually helping in anyway. That was when I concentrated on the sacroiliac joint. In order to get relief, I ordered a constriction belt which held everything in place so no movement. War it religiously for better part of a year and a half and have cured that problem. Also interesting to note, is that I could not sit on a regular couch without pain. We went out and purchased couches with built in recliners. The "s" shape the recliners had me in provided all sorts of relief at the end of the day. My wife also bought me a cushion for my car seat so I could get some relief driving.

So, been mostly pain free for the last 6 months. Longer than that other than the idiot boss I worked for a couple of months forced me to clean gutters on a 2 story house with 9' ceilings using a blue tip 32' ladder. I told him I didn't have the back strength to muscle that thing around. He insisted, I tried, I dropped the ladder which took me with it, bent the ladder but fortunately I was able to guide it away from the house and safely into the yard. Took 2 months to recover from that.

I tried pain specialists without success. So right now, Trying the supplement route. Everyday I take

4500 iu Vitamin D
Men's multi-vitamin
1000mg L-Arginine
1000-2000mg Cinnamon
1200mg Sunflower Lecithin with 180 mg Choline (good for nervous system)
Motrin as needed occasionally
Along with blood thinners, BP meds and Testosterone

Christ, I'm a walking drug store

My pain isn't excruciating, its just numbness/weird when I sit or laydown on my back, in my toe and PF area, which I believe could be related to my PE issues.

Thanks for your input/experience though.

Stabilize your back for a length of time. Yes the nerves are pinched but its movement and certain ways you hold yourself that aggravated it. Your nerves are inflamed and need time to relax, that will assist you. Buy a belt or support belt of some kind and wear it, not for a day, but for months as that is how long it takes nerves to regenerate and recoup. I feel for you, been there done that. Patience will be your friend.

I've been doing a chiro for 6~ weeks now, some minor improvement with the toe numbness and a miracle happened today.

I lasted over 20 minutes during sex, and couldn't finish, lol. I swear in my life I have never lasted more then 5 minutes ever (I'm 35), usually I last like 1minute the first time.

So maybe the chiro helped with some nerves that relaxes pf / helps with PE? Does this make sense or does someone have a better explaination? I'm so happy and I hope this isn't a one off.

My only other possible theory is that bed I used (different form normal) didn't trigger my possible pudendal nerve issue?

Take your 20 minute session as a badge of honor that this can be corrected. Keep with the chiropractor until you stop getting any relief and again, get some sort of back support belt and wear it. Any progress is great progress, keep us posted.

Yes it makes sense.
