Unable to get erection, pinching pain down shaft and in head when contracting.

I used my x4 extender back a year or two ago and think I did something to cause a numbness which made me stop back then. A few days ago I decided to pull the extender back out. The first night I wore it for 2:45 Hrs with breaks every 45 or 30 minutes. At one point I felt a bit of discomfort for 5 minutes until I then removed it. Two days later I wore it again this time only for 30 minutes total until I felt like it was pinching too much and nothing felt right. Now, three days later I can no longer get an erection. The day after I got a minor erection but when I contracted it felt like the nerve sac on my head was being pressed on. Throughout the night I wake up and fell pinching on the right or left side of my shaft. I’ve found that even contracting my penis when flaccid causes pinching. I am very scared about all of this and I’m not sure what to do. I have stopped PE completely and have not been masturbating for the last three days. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it will subside?

What means ‘contracting the penis’?

What I mean is that it occurs when contracting the BC muscle, such as when performing kegels.

I believe it is too soon to think anything. I’d go to the doc as soon as possible tough, and either tell him about PE or make up an alternative story implying a similar motion. Did you get checked before starting PEing? Although we are “assuming risks” I think most people should get checked first as to be aware of anything that may cause problems with PEing.. And hopefully avoid certain injuries in advance.

If you don’t have swlling, darkness or numbness, then no major injury should be suspected. Being checked by a doctor is always a good thing to do, at least can calm you down. The injury could take some time to heal, maye a couple of weeks maybe a couple of months. What kind of extender where you using? A vac-style? Noose-style?

Thanks marinera, I am able to get erections again, though I still feel some pinching and definitely some numbness on the head; there has been no discoloration or swelling and I have been keeping it heated. I was using the comfort strap and was wrapping with stretch bandage below the head. It didn’t seem like it would be pinching the nerve although the head swell was extreme at times and worried me. I thought there was an FAQ section on the forum with pictures and videos of wearing extenders and such?

There are several type of extenders, so instructions should be provided with the device. We descourage newbies to start with devices, some months of manual based exercise will give them a better knowldge of theirs own penises.
