Pain After Jelqing- despite Recovery Period

Hi friends , first time poster newbie here.
I was previously jelqing for 3 months, about five times per week ten minutes each (some stretching, OK grip and v jelq). A few weeks ago, I started getting signs of over-training, with decreased erection strength, some sharp twinges in my penis and pain after an erection (not during).

I promptly stopped for two weeks, and the pain went away and erections back to baseline. Last night I did just a five minute session (warm towel warmup included) and unfortunately today I am experiencing sharp twinges even in a flaccid state, throughout the day.

What should I do next? More rest and try again? Am I gripping too hard ( I was careful to be more gentle last night). Any help would be appreciated! I would really like to be able to continue, as I feel I’ve made about 0.25 inches of girth gains after just three months .
