Tenderness in left corpus cavernosum

Hey guys, sorry for so many newbie questions as of late, however I have another concern. In my quest to dial in the proper intensity/grip for my the beginner routine, it would seem that I’ve mistakenly dialed it to 11.

During my jelq session yesterday, I noticed a spot that was a bit tender on my left corpus cavernosum. It was similar to the feeling of lightly touching a bruise. I only felt it when I jelq’d with my left hand with an overhand ok grip. At this point, a smarter man would have probably ended the routine for the day. I, however, continued on with about 250 jelqs, thinking that avoiding that particular grip while jelqing lighter would work just as well. Whether it worked just as well, I can’t say. What I can say is that same tender spot has now grown into a kind of internal soreness on the left side of my penis. What I mean is that the ache is radiating from a point that I can’t touch with my hands. It’s not painful, but it’s certainly there.

Either way, this obviously calls for time off. If anyone has experienced anything similar, how long would you recommend that I abstain from jelqing? I was thinking maybe about a week, and then easing back into a low count of light jelqing. I do still plan on continuing with stretching, since I would be only targeting the ligs.
