Hi again,
not sure if you guys have heard of my story but basically I have never used finasteride/propecia/accutane or an ssri before. In the summer of 2016 while in Canada I decided to go on a diet so that I would get really lean. I was starving myself and exercising like crazy for 6 months. During this time I saw such crazy results in my physique that I did not care about the low sex drive , “KNOWING” (based on internet) that once I stopped my diet I would return to normal. It wasn’t long that my morning erections completely disappeared as well as my spontaneous ones. Again did not worry me , so I continued.
Around october/november 2016 I also had a pain in my right testicle and began to leak urine/ feel a cold feeling in urethra. December came and it is when I noticed more stuff go wrong like very low ejaculate volume as well as force… 2-3 drops would just ooze out. This is when I knew something was wrong and began eating like normal again. I gained the 35-40 lbs back thinking everything would go back to normal in a month or so. It took me a while to realize WTF was going on and I was even having a hard time at work doing simple tasks… I had developed severe restless leg syndrome to the point it would be very difficult to fall asleep. The next year went by in a blink and I could not even comprehend what was going on! Somewhere between all this I noticed my genitals were feeling numb! Rolling over in bed on my stomach I would not feel my penis, etc!!!
I went to the doctor earlier about symptoms of low t but first she rejected me. second time she checked it was 450 and said it was fine. Anyways 3-4 months later I came to her complaining about the numbness, and she said that I wasn’t complaining of that before, and that low testosterone does not cause numbness it is a nerve issue! She ordered me to see a neurologist and get a back MRI done. The back mri said I have a minor l1-l2 herniation as well as spina bifida l5-s1. She said that this was most likely my problems and ordered a leg emg. The leg emg also showed a loss of neurons in the right and left feet. Neurologist sent me to neurosurgeon who did not agree with the doctor after viewing my mri images and ordered a pituitary mri as well as an endocrinologist appointment. During all this time I even noticed that my armpits dont sweat anymore as well as my scrotum. The scrotum also is always high and tight. I messaged Dr Chrisler asking him if Low testosterone could cause numbness or should I go see a neurosurgeon asap. His reply was YES low DHT can cause numbness. I went the next day to go get my DHT checked and it came back at 220 (300-850) !! Last week the urologist prescrimed prostamol uno (saw palmetto)
Anyways, what I wanted to ask you guys is what direction I should go! It really looks to me like pfs
