Yeah, I had the paralyzed sensation for sure, when this all first started my pelvic floor was AWFUL, it was ridiculous, one day for an hour I was literally fully clenched and could not unclench the pelvic floor.
I know pelvic floor is responsible, it's just a question of whether or not it's because of lack of blood flow, or if its just the muscles themselves. I'm finding it hard to find a PT, I feel like a pelvic floor PT is the key to getting this fixed for me, or at least getting me a hell of a lot closer.
I've racked my brain trying to think of what I could possibly have done to destroy the blood flow to my pelvic floor. I masturbated totally normally like always, and then did some some trigger point massage. That's when it "blew up". Only thing I could possibly think is that maybe my blood was extra thin because I was taking garlic for a week or two? Doesn't really add up though.
What I think is the case is that through a ton of tension and pain, longterm antibiotic use, an outrageous amount of stress and anxiety for two months straight, followed by two weeks of Saw Palmetto and a bunch of other supplements I completely drained my testosterone, adrenal, immune and neuro system to the point of breakdown.
Whether I truly physically injured something or not, I cannot tell. Muscle tension caused by blood loss doesn't add up in my case. My muscles were already tensed to the point of agony when this happened. And not just in my pelvis. I also destroyed the parotid gland on the right side of my face from TMJ and cortisol overload causing Copper overload, causing even less Zinc and even less testosterone.
It really was a "perfect storm" type situation for me. Now I feel like I've gone over the edge and survived and need to slowly and quietly repair and undo all this stuff. I am still very confident that it will go away. Just need to figure it out. Luckily I'm a good figure-it-outer. We are building up a nice little army of people who are actively pursuing this. That's about the best we can do. We should be proud of what we've done so far. It's something, even if it's just making ourselves feel better for now. That's still something.
So we know the blood flow is screwy. And based on how I've been lately, it looks like that dorsal vein may indeed just be constricted somewhere. At 100% flaccid not only is it not enlarged, it's not even visible. That doesn't work for a thrombo scenario. I also haven't gotten a 100% sure answer that it's a dorsal vein and not a dorsal artery. They live at the same level under the skin, and mine is not up the middle where the DV should be. It's off to the left where the left artery would be. I also showed impaired flow higher up in the iliac. So if we are talking blood going INTO the penis, that's arteries and not veins. There are more arteries deep within though too, and I'm not sure where the hell those are fed from, but I'm assuming it's through the bulb and the perineum somewhere. And that's where we are hurting a bunch too.
The idea that that other guy used a TENS device and it unlocked his muscles sounds really promising actually. I don't have the guts to do it on myself, but I'd definitely let the PT do it. I know they have biofeedback and all that stuff. Will ask about it next appointment. Imagine they could just zap the muscles out of spasm? Oh my god that would be friggin' amazing.
