Hi Mike.

I see nobody has responded to you and I don't think I'll be of much help so don't get your hopes up but we may have a bit of a similar situation. I suffer from scrotal tingling with occasional numbness. It doesn't cause numbness in my penis but I do sometimes get a feeling in my penis like its moving and in fact it is. That may not seem strange but obviously a mans penis moves countless times throughout the day but you're not supposed to feel it. I feel it moving all of the time like minor twitches. I believe for me these sensations are caused by the muscular mass that appears between my testicles when I have an erection.

So anyway, I know this probably isn't much help but maybe one of us will have a minor bit of insight that will help the other person solve his own puzzle.

Thanks and good luck

I have the same, this strange feeling of moving penis, feeling of slight numbnes, tingling etc. I also started to have problems with erection when feeling of numbness became bigger one day. Never had such problems before and it occured without any rational cause(like some kind of physical damage). No idea what is the cause of it, in fact i have quite significant L5/S1 herniation but i also had some pudental nerve blocks (due to perineal pain) which i think did some nerve damage.

Very unusual and interesting explanation of similar symptoms is in dr. John Sarno's books for example in "The Mindbody Prescription"
He claims that numbness and tingling can be caused by the subconcious mind which wants to distract concious mind from unwanted emotions and slightly deprives nerves/muscles of oxygen which causes numbness/tingling/pain etc.

These numbness/tingling symtoms are so mysterious that i think mind-body explanations (TMS syndrom, trauma etc) can be more reliable than physical/mechanical cause.

Did the nerve blocks help for a short period & then the pain returned?

If so, you may have some pudendal nerve issues...

Help. Did you resolve this?
