Jelqing Inflicted ED Nerver Damage

Hello all, I'm a 21 year old. Gender: male as you may have assumed. About a year ago I tried jelqing, a natural "penis enlargement" technique where you try to push blood flow into your penis and trap it there supposedly making it larger over time. In reality, I think it creates scar tissue which in a way does make your penis slightly bigger over time but of course is very damaging. I jelqed for about 6 weeks total. After the last session, I had an ache in my shaft for some days. I quit cold turkey after that. I noticed a pretty significant loss of sensitivity but ignorantly figured it would just heal itself and regularly masturbated the next couple months. I noticed it took much longer than usual to ejaculate and harder to hold onto an erection. I had lost a significant amount of sensitivity and was having to heavily rub my foreskin to make anything happen. I started getting to a point where I had to wait a week between masturbation to successfully make myself climax. I know it was idiotic to continue this but at the time, I stupidly stayed optimistic and figured things would magically heal themselves. As a guy that always had a sub-average sized penis, I constantly got erections whether it was because I had to pee, my penis rubbed slightly the wrong way on my shorts, something pushed against it, etc would cause me a never ending erection to the point where I usually had some daily discomfort in my shaft from constant stimulation. I decided to believe that maybe this new lack of erections was a step in the more normal direction. After some months, I noticed even more sensitivity loss and quit masturbating completely. Its been about 4 months since I last masturbated and I've lowered drinking to almost nothing. I've gained a very small amount of sensitivity back only in my foreskin so I'm starting to wonder if it'll ever come back.. I do have a history of very very low testosterone but recently got that fixed with some meds (Clomid) and was at 800 2 months ago. No longer on the pill so I should probably get it checked again as I assume higher T can only benefit this particular healing process.
I've seen 4 different doctors (2 being urologists) and no answers.

Symptoms: White spots on foreskin, less noticeable when erect b/c blood flow. A lot of spider veins. Entire shaft has almost no sexual sensitivity in it; the feeling of rubbing it can be compared to rubbing your finger; I feel it but no pleasing feelings/sensation. I sometimes get dull pain at the base of my penis, between the base and my pelvic floor only on the left side when I use the muscle for pushing out pee/poop. When I masturbated often after the injury I noticed pain in this spot except much sharper when I achieved hard erections and would pull my penis to my stomach to relieve it. The belly of my shaft, only on the half closer to the glands is my most sensitive area since the injury and seemed to be the least effected spot. I do still achieve erections while sleeping so I don't think it's a vascular issue.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading. If there's anyone that has experienced something similar, any advice is greatly appreciated. If you're going through what I'm going through, lets talk! I'll tell you things I've tried and vice versa. If anyone has any knowledge or idea of how I might regain some sensitivity, please share your thoughts. Thank you.

Those exercises can be tricky and there are a lot of guys that warn about over doing exercises and how erect you should be and how hard you should be going. Thunders Place (or palace) has a plethora of forums with penis enlarging methods. There is probably a forum dedicated to what you are going through and possibly step step to help. Look up stuff about nitric oxide supplements, they might help in repairing damaged tissue by maximizing blood flow. Good luck man

Sorry that I'm just seeing this now Guy31. I posted on quite a few forums and forgot to come back to this one after a few days of no replies.

I hear ya, I followed all precautions and when I did do the exercises, I made sure to wait for my erection to subside any time I got one. I think what it is is the fact that I'm fairly skinny as I didn't fully develop. I had a tad over 200 Testosterone through puberty but my doctor was a moron and took no action. When I expressed my concerns back then, he said my T will kick in when my  body needs it.

I don't think I have as much fluff between my skin and the important stuff in there so jelqing got me an injury. I'll look into nitric oxide. Unfortunately I don't find much help on the jelq forums  because no one seems to have what I have. They get veinous leaks and torn ligaments or go completely numb. They don't just simply lose pleasurable sensitivity.

Thanks for the reply
