Penile Surgery postponed & Contingency plan

Hi Fellas, Hope everyone is faring well during this challenging time. Quick update, my surgery for penile implant was scheduled for 3/16, and was postponed due to Covid-19 catastrophe. It has been approximately 4 months post Lupron and my libido is beginning to return. I have been following Dr. Mulhall's sexual recovery plan and was doing injections so penile muscle/tissues wouldn't atrophied. However, doing injections and trying to get erect was quite difficult and very painful when libido was zero. When I learned that getting a penile implant was my best option to having a penetrable erection back in January, I stopped doing the injections. Now that it is uncertain when my surgery will be rescheduled, I am in limbo. Not sure if I should resume treatments. Lastly, since my libido has begun to return I have been trying to schedule time to masturbate to orgasm. I have succeeded a few times now, but since my last orgasm 3 days ago I have felt a shooting pain from the tip of my penis to the groin, at the end or urinating. This has just begun out of nowhere. Should I not be jerking off just yet? Is there something else I should be concerned about? I am reaching out to doctors office today, but given the current climate, I am not sure I will get an answer quickly. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Well I will be curious the ultimate result. I’m hoping not to have to consider that route but time will tell.

Whatever you can do to increase blood flow will mitigate shrinkage.

I recommend a penile pump twenty minutes a day it keeps the penis from shrinking my implant was 2 years ago and length has increased over time hope that helps
