Neurontin (& Lyrica I think-possibly other PN meds) has a s/e of desensitization
and lack of penile response, as well as sx of ED. I'd talk to a doc who was experienced in the sx of Gabapentin (neurontin) regarding this issue. It doesn't get better, if you continue to take the med.

Have already, long time ago. It is peripheral neuropathy lol, it's injury related.

Let's see if I understand this.
You have peripheral neuropathy in your penis?? Or you had peripheral neuropathy somewhere else nd because you tried to stretch your penis, you believe you have injured it? Is this the case? Have you seen your urologist? And the most important question. And please forgive me for being DIRECT here, but we are talking penises. Can you get an erection, and can you ejaculate? Thanks much.

Yes I can get an erection yes I can ejaculate. It's just the sensory nerves not the ones that control erection and etc, motor I suppose, not those. It's only in my glans. It came from basically being too brutal with it, by stretching it. I've been to a urologist and he said it should heal. There's not much help out there from doctor's on nerves. That's why I'm seeking experience of those who've had stretch/compression nerve type injury. |

I don't have man parts so I can't identify.
However, I agree that you should see a Dr. (one that deals specifically in nerve damage) Even though you feel that they don't do much with nerve damage, and they don't. Injury related ones probably have a much better chance of being repaired. You know the cause of damage. |

GP didn't have much info, but said it should heal. Urologist didn't have much info either but said it probably will heal. And the neurologist check out my reflexes and all that to see if I had any other existing nerve problems, and I had none. He said it should heal, but not if I continue to do what I was doing. Not sure if he meant if I were to do it again it would be permanent, or that it will return to normal if I stop it forever. He wasn't much help either really. So all I can rely on now are people like me who have had an injury related neuropathy and combine our research on healing. |

I've never seen this problem,on NeuroTalk ,dosen't mean there are others
who have been afraid to ask..You have been to correct Drs. why not give it time and stop being so rough with your body part..First I am in my 60's and do not think streching will change the way you are ,which I'm sure is fine, if you where not loaded up on meds by Drs they must feel it will get better Well did you say how long this has been going on the numbess has been affecting you,if you did sorry I didn't catch it. This post may bring out others who have gone through this,or you may have to check the stickies. Hugs to all Sue the b12 meth has helped some it's worth a try. |

Your case, if it is really a case of PN, is probably the most unique, to date. on this forum. You've had some answers, but I doubt if anyone else has had the same experience. BTW - Gabapentin/Neurontin/Lyrica is not a pain med. It decreases symptoms of PN and is moreover an anti-spasm (originally developed for epilepsy) medication to assist in subduing the mis-firing of nerves that send wrong signals to the brain. Remember what yer mom said ... "keep playin' with that thing & it'll fall off..."

While not in the same region I did hear that nerve crush injuries can take upwards of two years to heal. I have a nerve crush injury in my shoulder and its about two years now that I feel closer to normal.
Hang in there |

What happened to you for the nerve to crush? Oh and in my previous post I meant the numbness was gone in a week not a year. But the reduced sensitivity has been going on for a year, while slowly getting better. It's just crazy how long this takes to heal! (if at all ) But I'll try to stay optimistic... |
