Wishing for Recovery

I’m not gonna lie I’m having a really rough time with recovery. It’s been close to 3 weeks that I haven’t touched my dick. Half the time my progress is a big mystery because I don’t have enough PIs to go by.. My only PI is an occasional morning erection, once or twice a week. This all started after a month of use with the sizegenetics stretching device. By mid February it became hard to keep it up so threw out the sizegenetics stretcher. March and April I tried to keep it up as much as possible, I didn’t know any better, I was going by the “use it or lose it” mentality. I get scared that those two months of forcing erections is gonna cost me a healthy penis. I have no idea whats up ahead for me but sometimes the stress kills me..

I have a feeling I still have a ways to go with my recovery. Please can anyone who has recovered from an injury lend me some advice or your own experiences with recovery. I’m really blind folded through all this right now..

Thanks, I appreciate your help

It took basically 3 months for my injury to heal. It can be difficult to do, but just leave it alone. Even after you think it’s all better. Give it a few weeks more.

I am in the same position as you in that I had significant reduced EQ following use of a VED on a Consultant’s advice. I, like you, was of the opinion that I needed to use it or lose it. I did that for maybe 2 and a half months but noticed that things were not improving at all. I am now in a period of complete rest in the hope that things can improve.

I guess all we can do is remain positive and hope that our body’s ability to heal kicks in. I am sure that having erections over that two months will not have been detrimental to you, the blood flow can only be a good thing as long as you weren’t being too rough with it

How long were you spending in the pump at a time? How much Hg?

The regime they advised was:
- 10 minute sessions daily
- no more than 3 manual pumps every 10 seconds
- During the session pump up to full erection (or point where good stretch is felt/slight discomfort but no pain) and then hold no longer than 2 seconds and release vacuum
- Then repeat the above cycle until end of 10 in session

Also, it was a medical grade Soma pump from Augusta Medical so it had no gauge to measure Hg. Was prescribed by Consultant on NHS in UK.

I did exactly as they advised in the above regime, never held at max longer than 2 seconds and never had bruising/petechiae/obvious oedema or pain. Even still, seems to have had negative effect as I can’t think of what else would have caused this

Your nocturnal erections could be happening while you are on the deep stage of the sleep, so I wouldn’t get worried about them.
