Hi, all. Im in my late 30s and about 18 months ago, I had a bad impact on my pelvis that I then aggravated by spending hours on a bicycle as part of my recovery training. Long story short, I had developed "Cyclists Syndrome" which is damage to the pudendal nerve in the pelvis. I woke up one morning with no feeling in my pelvis or thighs... I am not married but hoped to be a father one day and I admit it, I teared up when I realised that this might be the end of my sex life.
In my town, Government healthcare is awful, I went to a GP and when I explained to him that it's probably some kind of pudendal nerve damage, I looked over his shoulder and saw he had searched for the nerve on Bing. Apparently, this is not taught in medical school.
I did a lot of research and took control of my recovery, yoga stretches, pelvic floor exercises, squats... and I went through various stages... the ability to get an erection has slowly returned, not as powerful as it was before the accident but Im probably at 85%. I experienced nerve pain at ejaculation, apparently this is a symptom of pudendal neuralgia but as I kept up the exercises, even that has resolved itself and things are relatively good now.
I joined the PE Gym because I don't think I can do the rest of the recovery on my own... I need the advice of a community of guys who know more than me. The two issues I have are, how can I increase penile sensitivity so that I can get back to the intense experiences I had before the accident? and is there any exercises I can do to increase ejaculation volume which has never recovered... I might be wrong, but sometimes I wonder if kegels (which is basically flexing Pelvic Floor muscles?) might be making things worse by tightening the Pelvic Floor.
Very grateful for your thoughts.
