lig pain

Hey I looked on the search and everything but was not sure what I found was the same. I dont exactly hang but I started doing a new stretch Johan came up with and I figured this was the best place to ask a lig question. Basically its only on one side (left side since the left is the smaller side and gets the most tension) right where the lig connects to the body and only hurts when I touch near where it connects with my finger, and a little bit when I stretch hard and dont work up in intensity with the stretches. Not puffy not very bad pain either but something that I feel I shouldnt ignore. Any ideas as to what this could be?

J7 - here’s the deal. That’s where you lig attaches to the pelvic girdle, I believe. Well, wherever, that is the base attachment point. You screw that up and you can write yourself off basically for good. Attachment points for ligs are nothing to play with whatsoever. Sooo, I strongly suggest total rest and reevaluation of your routine to see where this problem began and what caused it.

Thanks for the warning!!! I believe I was pulling too hard and doing too many which I should have known since the left side is smaller and took all the tension. I guess I got to anxious to see gains and didnt work myself up slowly enough. I was pulling with both arms as hard as I felt it was safe for the head not to come off (eek), I think the pain has gone down a little in the past day or so which I only feel if I touch it or stretch it. I think taking vitamin C should help since I hear people try and lay off it since it heals stuff faster. I dont know if this means anything but I had 3 loud lig pops right wear it hurts so maybe it was doing what ever pops mean near the attachment point (hope not breaking or tearing too badly). What exactly happens that puts you out of commision for good, I mean does it competely tear off???

Not sure about it completely coming off, but I would guess that’s a possibility. Probably not the case with you, though. Just be good to it and keep it monitored. We aren’t all the same for strength points in our bodies, so we must first understand them individually (for instance I keep a close eye on my suspensory lig for pain) and then we must exercise in consideration of these concerns. I think you’ll be OK with a little rest.

Hey Buster & J7!

It actually attaches more specifically to the pubis (pubic bone) and although ligament tears are painful and take seemingly forever to heal, it won’t put you out of commission forever! Remember, in phalloplasty surgery, doctors actually completely sever all/most of these ligaments from the bone and these are not reattached. This lowers the penis and also the angle of erection but it does give the illusion of more length. It would also seem that, severing the ligaments frees more of the restrictions which may inhibit other forms of PE - eg hanging or jelqing. Surgery, however, is a drastic measure and more than half the men who undergo the operation are not satisfied with the results and wish they’d never had it done. Stick with PE ….. but please take it easy! ;)

ok !

this is creepy !!!!!

How does one know to stretch the ligs well for gaining length - and NOT running in danger to tear/damage them ???

You’re talking about not overstressing the base attachment point - but i dont have ANY idea how to avoid the stress/pull on the attachement points eg. if you do a normal ‘pull’ [in what direction ever].

There will always be some stress on the attachment points because without you couldnt stretch at all - its where the ligs are anchored.

My current stretch routine is very short/high frequent stretches/v-stretches in all directions, left right, down etc..rather intense and short instead of longer and smoother…but i really do NOT want to rip something so i end up with lower erections or similiar…

Ligs can be pretty tough (as evidenced by many a slow gainer) and, if you take it sensibly, you can minimize the risk of doing too much damage. The key is moderation. We are all different so there is no magical equation for everybody, but in general, warming up, taking it slowly, working up in weight or intensity over weeks and months will lessen the risk of injury. Listen to your body.

If you tear a ligament from the bone, you are going to know about it in no uncertain terms! You will probably be rolling around the floor with tears streaming down your face!! Think of a sportsman - we’ve all seen what happens when they tear a ligament in the leg or arm in a game. They’re in agony - carried off the field! And it’s usually as a result of very significant overexertion. Remember that! Small tears in ligaments are painful and common if you get too enthusiastic. But you are probably going to have to put extraordinarily enormous strains on your ligaments before you start ripping them from the bone - other things are probably more likely to give first. However, there are people with weak ligs so we should all be cautious.

Also, you are going to have to do some fairly substantial damage, or grow a lot before the angle of erection changes significantly. I wouldn’t worry too much about that. ;)

First of all.what really inspired me to reply to this thread is the readiness of the members of this forum to help each other out. It’s really great to witness in these hard and cold-blooded times.

Anyway, I’ve been doing stretches and squeezes (Ulis, etc) at different parts of my penis
Now I feel this pain in my penis base which extends into my pelvis (perhaps my inner penis)
This was also some discoloration on the bottom side of my penis (purple, sort of like a bruise)
I’m applying heat to the penis which has sort of reduced the discoloration.
The pain is not severe but it’s not all that mild either. Starts and stops with intervals.
I’m a beginner and despite everyone here recommending not switching to advanced exercises before at least six months, I took matters into my own hands and started doing Ulis squeezes etc. It sure did help with my EQ and I noticed an increase in girth and morning wood too. So I guess I got carried away and increased the pressure, or maybe I used too much force during my stretches. I did feel mild pain during my last 3 workouts but there was no sudden or sharp pain therefore I continued.
So, anybody here who could advise how I should go about things? And what exactly could I have done to my organ?

Thanks a lot. And this is a great place.

Red, do you feel this pain when you are not touching your penis too, or only when you do PE exercises?

Thank you for replying marinera. Even when I’m not touching my penis I feel the pain

That could be a lig inflammation. Take rest. Aspirin could help, but if doesn’t subside ask to your Doc.

When you’ll be healed and will restart PE, use less force when pulling. It’s not tension that carries gains, but time under medium tension and consistency. Keep us updated and best wishes.

Thanks a lot. I’m half healed already :)

This is why this is such a great place.

Thanks again marinera

My pain is gone. :) So relieved.

Thank you for your support marinera

I guess I’ll resume PE in 3 or 4 days.

Anyone with recommendations on how to go about my PE this time around.safe measures and all?

Thanks

It might of been beneficial fatigue.Only you can really be the judge of what you feel, whether it’s good or bad. If it was proper pain then yes sounds like an injury of some sort. When you do start up just take it a little slower and avoid repeating the mistake that caused it, if you can pinpoint it that is.
