I posted about this already as I wasn't sure what was causing it but Ive pretty much established that I herniated a disk (l5s1) and it is pinching my genital nerves.
Basically, half of my penis and scrotum is almost numb/weird feelings/no pleasure. It seems to be getting worse and I am really getting worried.
Ive been to GP, Orthopedic Surgeon (didnt want to operate because Im only 21), neurologist (completely ignored my problem), urologist (said i am normal urologically and its a neural problem), osteopath (reviewed my MRI and thinks I really should get a second opinion on surgery and there wasn't much they could do).
I am very worried I am going to be stuck like this for life, it is horrible. I have an appointment with some spinal decompressionist therapies to see if they will help and an appointment with a neurosurgeon next week.
I am leaning towards just jumping to surgery, its been 3 months and symptoms have only gotten worse with conservative treatment (rest, injections, NSAIDs, etc.) I am having worse back pain and leg pain by the day.
Anyone been in the same boat and how did it result?
I am thinking that time is of the essence and that I really need to do something about this.
