Icy Hot for Testicle pain?

[Brandye]

Analgesic balm is for MUSCLE pain only. Never get it close to anything sensitive.

Do you know what some consequences might be from this?

[Brandye]

Any damage will be mostly in the skin. Both the skin of the penis and of the scrotum is less hardy than most of the body. And they each have lots of nerve endings. These nerves would be "burned" and desensitized for a time. It is doubtful that any damage would be done to the testicles. Analgesic balm, again, is for muscle pain and should never be applies around particularly sensitive tissue - eyes, groin, rear.

Women, do not even ask. It hurts to think about it.

But.....but.....it has anal in the name?

[Brandye]

Well, fun, you can gesic your anal; I'll just watch.

[CMU guy]

All right, so it could be that I permanently desensitized my penis?

[Brandye]

No. It will come back - very slowly.

It's been a week and still doesn't feel normal. How could I have done such an idiot thing? At a Halloween party with all kinds of girls in hot costumes, I couldn't feel a thing down there. Is there any fast treatment?

[Brandye]

The nerves are about the slowest growing tissue in the body. The damage was likely mostly surface and will be replaced as the epidermis sloughs off - as I explained in the PM. Patience.

[CMU guy]

All right. Another thing is when my testicle was hurting it felt like it was tight against my body. Since I did this, it feels like it is hanging really low.
