Similar story, 8 months ago penis tip pain. Was prescribed fungal creams then bactrim and cipro then doxy and then physio. Physio has seemed to helped the most with controlling things but pain is still there. I find that sitting makes it worse and i am ok with sex and masturbation as long as its not for too long. I am currently trying massage therapy and waiting for an appointment at the hospital pain clinic.
As a side not i suffered from tmj disorder for about 5 years. I thought i learned to deal with chronic pain after that but seems like i overestimated myself. That was a lot worse than the penis pain but i have learned that any chronic pain effects brain similarly and ultimately changes your life. Leaves you more isolated and less willing to do things. Suicide crosses all of our minds. I have learned that being very social and excercising regularly helps in general even if it can aggravate the penis pain sometimes. Not thinking about the pain and doing anything that helps is also necessary.
After reading this thread i will be trying to get the pain free book. Anyone had any luck with that book? I am also currently trying massage therapy due to the fact that i also have had chronic back pain. The penis pain is much worse though.
The reason that i wrote all this is because i have found something that helps but doesnt cure our issue. If you have penis tip pain like me i initially tried soft underwear which helped the sensitivity and also being naked seemed to help a lot. So i looked for soft material to wear for the penis. After a suggestion from my physio i stumbled on this: manhoodcanada.com. although the pain is still there (especially when sitting) it is greatly reduced and i can lead more of a normal life. Would love to hear what everyone else has to say
Thanks and good luck everyone. Will try to keep everyone updated on my pain clinic and massage therapy. May also try psychotherapy eventually
