I feel okay but my progress slowed a bit. I think I've been walking too much, and just need to let it rest.

I hate to admit it but I got bored yesterday and had some beers. I still feel good today though. I did my stretches and some light massaging.Comment

My updates are getting repetitive so I'll just do them every few days. I tried to use the massage gun again and caused a bit of pain. It's such a fine line to walk.Comment

Not too much progress to report on, just trying my best to keep up with the PTComment

I finally feel like I'm doing somewhat better. I'm taking more ibuprofen, and I noticed when I go off, the pain is down. Also I'm doing only light massages on the inflamed areas, and only doing them every few days.
Also, I started to wonder if blood flow could apply to TGC. What if the smooth muscle is there but you're out of shape and thus can't max out the tunica? I have the testosterone of a 10 year old girl and the conditioning of a pizza, so I don't think my situation is optimal for blood flow
. I'm gonna really take the weight loss more seriously too, maybe I can add those updates on here too. Perhaps the angion methods could help as well? Maybe if your tunica is already maxed out, this is when angion methods would not work? I'm wondering how much growth I would see from reversing the conditions I just mentioned.
I don't think many people read these updates lol but I'll still do them to keep track of my thoughts.Last edited by 8x5Goalzz; 05-13-2021, 01:36 PM.Comment

I keep up with your journal and a lot of others on here, but I don't always have a clear comment to say. I like to read the journal posts, it gives me a sense of community around PE, and it's nice to hear how other people's PE is going. So, just so you know, your posts are being read!

That's a good point. I should do more of that myself. Please learn from my foolishness and don't get injured!Originally posted by Starting_Somewhere View PostI keep up with your journal and a lot of others on here, but I don't always have a clear comment to say.

I'm feeling great today. Hardly any pain, and I'm going to get blood work done on Monday to get a prescription for testosterone. It's not guaranteed that my doctor will give it to me, but I know my level will be clinically low so I could get it somewhere else. I really wonder if this would help my recovery, and my future PE gains. Time will tell, but I have a lot of momentum and no urges to drink. I still feel like a drug addict lol but I recognize that delaying my recovery by a week is too much of a price to pay.
I also may have covid-19 or a cold but I don't feel too bad. One night I couldn't stop sneezing which was rough. I thought it was allergies at first but my voice sounds weird so I know I'm sick in some way.Last edited by 8x5Goalzz; 05-15-2021, 09:23 AM.Comment

I actually did something today that I was really lucky not to get injured. I had my vacuum hanger on and was moving from my horizontal pulley back to my desk to hang SD. But I tripped over the tether and because the vacuum hanger was attached my dick got a lot of force on it for a split second. It kind of freaked me out but so far I don't seem to have a problem. Maybe I got lucky although sometimes it's possible not to feel the injury until the next day.Originally posted by 8x5Goalzz View Post
SO hopefully you can learn from my mistake too!Comment

It's good to hear you're okay. I'm gonna start reading your log too, for some reason I didn't see it in the past. I know nothing about hanging so it should be very valuable. I have so much to learn. I've always been too scared to hang personally since I don't have a ton of experience and I've heard it's one of the riskier techniques. Best of luck my friend!Originally posted by Starting_Somewhere View PostComment

Ok I might have this thing figured out. I realized my pain entirely shifted from my penis shaft to the small muscles on the base. I could be wrong, but I actually think I healed the torn muscle, and massaged the small muscles so frequently that now they are just irritated. I don't know exactly how long to take off from massaging them, but maybe 2-3 weeks, and then just ease back into it? It's hard to say. Anyways, I'm pretty convinced this theory is right, but only time will tell.Comment

Feeling okay today, a little worse but nothing crazy. I'm gonna take 3 weeks off massaging the muscles in pain and see how I feel. That should be long enough for any inflammation to go away, so I should know if that is the issue. It will be important that I don't drink any beer during this period.Comment

It's been awhile since I gave an update. I found that I really needed to stretch my glutes to relieve my pain and it's given me good results. I was very close to pain-free today. Also sleeping on my side can aggravate the injury, so I'm avoiding that. Things are going well!Comment

It seems like I'm in the last stage of my injury recovery. I am working on strengthening exercises with my physical therapist to get back to PE and lifting weights. I know I can do PE now if I go easy on the stretches, but I want to come back 100%. The future seems very bright.Comment

Not feeling much pain today. I just bought some protein powder and a collagen powder to speed up recovery. This one has type 1+3 collagen, my other supplement was type 2. I'll see how it goes.Comment
