Larry,
I am in the same boat as you are!! Really!!! So take it easy.
You state that you are freaking out but has your sex drive suffered? Keep this up and it will.
My routine consisted of only dry jelqing and I abandoned it on July 25, 2002 when I really took a good look and discovered the extent of the discolouration on the underside and sides of my unit and payed close attention to the change in sensation along the affected area. Either the dry jelqing is to blame (I have no proof since guys are not posting about this subject… well, what’s new) or, as I originally thought, it was my dropping the warm up and warm downs from my routine (again no feedback from the community… gee, thanks guys…).
I have already lost a lot of sleep over this. I have not had a decent erection since August 3, 2002. No morning wood… nothing. I can get an erection if I stimulate it but maintaining it with my girlfriend has been very difficult. At first I thought it was my PC muscle being out of shape or overly tired but I was always able to have very athletic intercourse for over an hour without major trouble. BTW, the PC muscle can be overworked guys. I found out just like Thermo did that you can really strain it and then your erections are weak! The problem here though is ANXIETY and CONVINCING myself that something is wrong.
Your subconscious, like mine, is surely taking a beating right now! I am trying to keep it all together by trying to return to a normal sleep pattern, maintaining a good diet and thus restoring my digestion to normal, chasing frightening thoughts of permanent dick damage from my mind and most importantly leaving the damn dick alone. You are on your way to developing a complex as I already have. The worry will kill you dude. Learn from my mistakes.
If I were you I would stop your regular routine for a month and instead warm up, wrap according to Bib’s instructions and warm down. You may want to gently start AI stretches in the meantime and see how that works for you. Also, Arnica is a homeopathic remedy that is used to heal bruising by increasing your bodies healing capabilities in the area of application.
Do not wrap over the discolouration. I do not think you will be able to make this area swell enough if you wrap over it.
Lastly, try alternating a cool pack and a soak in a cup of hot water. The ice will cause the veins to constrict and expel the blood from the area and the heat would fill the area with fresh blood. Alternating this enough may force out some of the dry blood.
If you go to the doctor just tell him that you have been squeezing the unit upon ejaculation in an attempt to improve the enjoyment and you didn’t realize until later that you may have been hurting yourself by milking it erect.
Please share his opinions or those of a urologist, if you do go, as I for one am interested in the diagnosis and prognosis.
I stopped wrapping last week because I could not get any privacy. I will start up again soon I hope.
I have left if pretty much alone and the discolouration has faded ever so gently. I would say about 15% better so there is some hope. The bad sensations have left the area as well.
Perhaps I am in a negative frame of mind but none of this seems to have been worth it. For the record, I’m very fortunate to have a good starting length of 7 .25”BPE because I jelqed for 8 ½ months and have not gained anything in length. I did gain .25” in girth. Time will tell if this is permanent and if the discolouration is as well.
