Thank you SO MUCH, Remek, for taking the time to address my question. You have no idea how grateful I am. I have asked similar questions all over the net over the past six months, and never get a straight answer.
True, I didn't explain my situation all that well, but it's really good to know that someone's listening.
I am going to see a urologist in a few days, and he will (hopefully) be able to explain exactly what's going on down there. But the gist of it is this (I'll try to keep it simple because I've found that the more details I give the less people want to answer me):
I find this very strange because I've not heard of anything similar. I was showering and playing with my penis, 8 months ago. While semi-erect, I accidentally forced the foreskin on the
dorsum of my penis back too far, and immediately felt a sharp pain. (I have seen penises treated more roughly in pornos than what I did to myself, but whatever.) I left my penis alone. To my horror, a few days later I lost my morning wood, and noticed a lump right where I felt the pain, under the skin. I also noticed that my superficial dorsal vein was more prominent, and slightly displaced to the right (I pulled my skin to the right), and the veins which feed into this vein were more prominent, too. The lump is exactly where the feeder veins meet and connect with the dorsal vein, and it seems sometimes like the lump is in fact the dorsal vein, "coiled up" like a snake. I hurt on and off, sometimes very sharply. Sometimes it burned, sometimes the pain was more dull. I also noticed a curve in my penis, but this seems to be unrelated (I may have only just noticed it, too).
Fastforward 8 months, the lump is still there, and sometimes it still hurts, but my morning wood has returned thanks to exercise and change of lifestyle. My erectile function is fine, better than when I was doing cocaine all the time, and I use an extender which seems to help. But I want to jelq. My dorsal vein is still prominent, as are the feeder veins, but aside form that all
seems well.
Sorry for the length, but this has virtually torn my life apart.
Thanks again.
