If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.
It has now been about three weeks since the President formally unveiled the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed Clean Power Plan which sets the first-ever federal limits on carbon pollution from the nation's fleet of power plants. Despite preliminary estimates showing...

Exploiting the earth "is our sin," the pontiff says.
This past weekend, Pope Francis did something that was quietly revolutionary. In a talk at the Italian university of Molise, Francis characterized concerns about the environment as "one of the greatest challenges of our time"—a challenge that is theological, as well as political, in nature. "When I look at ... so many forests, all cut, that have become land … that can [no] longer give life," he reflected, citing South American forests in particular. "This is our sin, exploiting the Earth. ... This is one of the greatest challenges of our time: to convert ourselves to a type of development that knows how to respect creation." And the pontiff isn't stopping there; he's reportedly planning to issue an encyclical, or papal letter, about man's relationship with the environment.

The spectre of famine is haunting Nicaragua. The second poorest country in Latin America, and one of the 10 most vulnerable to climate change in the world, is facing a meteorological phenomenon that threatens its food security.
Scientists at the Nicaraguan Institute for Territorial Studies (INETER) say the situation is correlated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a weather cycle that periodically causes drought on the western Pacific seaboard and the centre of the country, in contrast with seasonal flooding in the north and the eastern Caribbean coast.
Crescencio Polanco, a veteran farmer in the rural municipality of Tipitapa, north of Managua, is one of thousands of victims of the climate episode. He waited in vain for the normally abundant rains in May and June to plant maize and beans.
Polanco lost his bean crop due to lack of rain, but he remains hopeful. He borrowed 400 dollars to plant again in September, to try to recoup the investment lost by the failed harvest in May.

In a significant victory for the Obama administration's coal policies, a federal appeals court on Friday upheld U.S. Environmental Protection Agency initiatives aimed at reducing water pollution from mountaintop removal mining operations.
A panel from the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the EPA was within its authority to set up a process to coordinate with the Army Corps of Engineers on reviews of Clean Water Act permits for mining operations.
The three-judge panel also said EPA guidance aimed at reducing conductivity pollution from large-scale surface mines was not a final agency rule and, therefore, not subject — at least at this point — to legal challenge.

The Sierra snowpack — which provides most of California's drinking water — was at 32% of its average annual depth this winter. Now the state's largest reservoirs are less than half-full.
The consequences of the drought are increasing: Many Central Valley farmers have no irrigation water. Migrant farmworker towns are packing up, emptying local schools. California's delta waters are growing brackish because there has been little runoff from the mountains. The Central Valley is sinking as farmers pump more groundwater.
But none of the drought's effects may hit home on as visceral a level as summer fun drying up.

I love apple because their products just work and love imore because they tell me how their products just work.

Great contest! Love to Apple and iMore!
Get Live Coverage of the iPad Event over here:
I love apple and imore even more. that's final!
I love Apple because the make great products and they are not afraid of doing things their own way. Imore tells me about the best products in the world- from Apple. Imore + Apple the best of both worlds.
iLove Apple. iLove iMore. iLove iPads. maybe iWill get iLucky....
Alright, so I'll start with Apple, and round it up with iMore.
I was first introduced to Apple in 2009, with the iPhone 3GS. I was also gifted the iPad 2 the summer of 2011, which I still own (iOS 6.1.2 and jail broken). I just recently upgraded from the 3GS to the 5s, and wow, what a jump that was! I prefer Apple and iOS over Android and Windows in the mobile category because, simply put, it's a better fit for me. Apple's outstanding hardware quality is so appealing, I'm more than willing to overlook the lack of expandable storage. Apple's devices also hold resale value extremely well, something that cannot be said for the majority of their rival's products. Their operating system? Sure, iOS definitely lacks the extensive customization of Android, but I do not need all that to convince myself that I'm content with what's insider device. I will admit that I'm glad my iPad 2 is jail broken, and am anxious to jailbreak my 5s as well. For example, 2 and a half years later, my iPad 2 still has the option to be up to date with the latest software and can perform almost any task I need it to. That longetivity is rare in the fast-moving world of mobile technology. "iPad" and "iPhone" have become a household name for tablets and smartphones, and that is not an easy task for any company.
Alright. So when I was ready to tune in to today's Apple event, I went to iMore without any second thoughts. I read A LOT of articles on a lot of topics, so I use the app Flipboard, which is a compilation of inter articles. Under "Apple News", every single day, I see one source that is updated and cited more often than any other site. I've come to appreciate their articles, their views and opinions, and even their editors' choice of humor. Do I sometimes disagree with some of their articles? Of course. But I always find myself reading those articles anyway, to see and understand their point of view. I like the community that has built up on iMore, only from what I can tell from comments, and how iMore actually get INVOLVED with their users with polls and giveaways, just like this one. Overall, I'm grateful for the day I discovered your website. Thanks to the whole iMore staff!
Best of luck to everyone! (But not as much as for myself) ;D
Me! I've gotta have the new iPad Air! Plus I love both iMore and Apple so I deserve it! Lol
U r unqualified:)
I would love a new iPad. The 4 is nice, but I can't wait to see what Apple has done with the iPad 5. Thanks iMore!
Love the news coverage and the excellent editorials!

Today of all days you ask? A day when new product is being announced and we're all fixated on the 'more things to cover' event? Easy - iMore gives us our fix of information on the subject that we simply cannot do with out. Now, can I have my new iPad, please?
like iMoore much more than Apple! :D
iMore has always been the place that I go to check on everything Apple, you guys don't let me down. Apple always satisfies customers and a new iPad would be amazing.
I love iMore because you bring me fresh Apple news. I love Apple because their products are pure bliss and happiness!
I love apple products! They might not have all the top of the line specs but, they always seem to work just as you need them to, and that is what counts for me. Now put all of that with excellent coverage from our friends at Imore and who could ask for more?
i More than ever the Apple of my i.
My love for Apple and iMore just got married! They may be having a son (iPad) soon ;)
Used to be an Android user, but honestly the iOS stuff takes less work to make it work (if that makes sense).
Apple iPad Keynote day! Apple products just work. I dont have any hassle with them and iMore always has the news I want to read! Love you guys.
Count me in!
Apple is the best. iMore is the icing on the cake. Plain and simple. Thanks for hosting the contest and good luck to everyone.
I <3 apple bc the make Great products that work. You guys always have great coverage and a fantastic staff!!
Just switched from Android to iOS and I'm loving how it integrated with the Macs I use on a regular basis. Adding an iPad to complete the trifecta would be awesome!
iMore allows die hard Apple fans not unlike myself find their center in all of the useless press releases out there. If i want the best most accurate news i always turn to iMore either on the net or on their iOS application. I cannot go a half a day without using iMore or my iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, Macbook Air. I love the ecosystem and cant wait for the next generation of Apple products. A proud user of iMore than you guys so much. My new blogging team at Edgeintech model you guys and hope we can one day join the ranks.
Apple products are easy to use - even my 72 year old mother can work an iPad! I'd love to win a new one for her as she's on an old iPad 1! I love iMore because I've learned things that I didn't know I needed to know ;)
I check iMore religiously, even when I didn't have any Apple products. Now I've upgraded to the iPhone 5s, so how great would it be to pair it with a cool new iPad Mini? Can't wait!
Like ^
As always no one comes close when it comes to give a ways. Somehow us fans really need to find a way to show our appreciation for all the hard work you guys do at iMore. Not to mention the great up to date news that we enjoy every day. No better guides for new products or apps. Great job.
Good Day Sir
Love is such a strong word. But I have respect for both iMore and Apple. Maybe even some admiration.
I love reading iMore. Visit this sote everyday so that my needs of knowing things about applle related stuff can be fullfilled. I have always love an iPad its a revolutionary device and this time im sure its gonna be a great device and im hoping i can own it
I need it cause I still use iPad 1 :)
Please, please, please give me the new iPad! I'm glad Rene is a regular on MacBreak Weekly, he does a great job.
iMore is my go to Apple website (of course!), and Apple is my go to hardware :-) good luck to all!!!
I love Apple products including my iPad 3 (time to upgrade *wink *wink). And what better place to get the lastest and greatest Apple news than iMore! Love love Apple and iMore!
I love Apple because they have the best devices than all the other companies. They have so many awesome apps on these awesome devices. The new iPads should be amazing and cannot wait for their release. I love iMore because they have great stories, great writers and have awesome contest like this one. Keep up the great work.
OMG I would love to win this... just think of the money I'll save for my bucket-list saving acct. =) Happy Winning !!!
Apple designs beautiful products and iMore lets us know about them and how to get the most from them. Great products and great reporting.
Apple - because they're Apple
iMore - because they cover Apple
A new iPad I'd love to see,
As my wife's iPad, with the kids always be.
If I won a new iPad I'd be one cool chappy,
For the best wife on earth, I'd make very happy.

I love Apple because of the way everything is connected. You could have an iMac, iPhone, MacBook and an iPad and all your data can stay synced.
While I only have an iPhone at the moment, an iPad would be great as I can pretty much replace my noisy desktop. I don't do much video, editing and the sort. I read a lot, do some voice recording (VOVA aspirations) and watch videos. The iPad would be great for that.
Honesty, integrity and no BS commentary.
I love iMore because they give me the option to get free Apple stuff, and I Love Apple because they make the best products.
I like iMore because I used to work at Apple and iMore seemed to be the only blog site that's post on such a consistent bases with helpful info not just fluff. The majority of readers seem more informed which gives a better experience when reading comments. Basically, iMore is the closest you can get to trusting info on a blog site. Others you just never know what your reading...
you worked at apple?? nice! what did u do there?
love apple product because of its building quality and high end apps.
I love iPhone and iMore because they go so well together! You can't have one without the other... it just doesn't make sense! There's nothing else like Apple and iMore, two different things but the same perfection in what which one does. As Apple puts so much love to each new product/software they designed and build, iMore writers make each post like were writing an article on the best newspaper. In spite of one being a blog and the other a company, in the end the ideology of their work is the same, make everything with love, dedication and the most perfect detail.
If I could live without Apple or iMore, probably I could but my live will never be the same!
I love coming to iMore for news, updates, and how-to's and love Apple for their reliable products. It just works both ways ;)

Apple = Great!

You gotta love these contests
I love Apple because I read iMore.

Love iMore because it is the best site for news/rumors for related to Apple and they simply have the very best reviews to date. Love Apple because they simply make the best hardware together with software.
Ease of use and longevity of applications from device to device is what I love. Whenever I upgrade I do not worry about weather this or that application will work, they just work!
Apple is the best, covered by the best: iMore!
Tying is like sking in alps,, it's bitterly smooth
Love good quality of the products & services and the coverage Imore gives for these! thanks guys really helpful those tips and info!

An Apple a day, plus a dose of iMore is just what the doctor ordered. Love all things Apple and the outstanding iMore team!!
I don't have one so I would love one to compliment my iPhone! iMore is where I get all my updates for anything Apple.
iMore has the best coverage of my favorite company - that's why.
Apple and imore - what's not to love?! Pick me, pick me!
iMore is awesome, been here since the TiPB days. Awww, remember TiPB? Wow that seems like ages ago. Really looking forward to Apple's announcements today.
Having never won an iMore contest, you guys are making me sentimental about apple :).
My love for apple started in 2006 when i started using iPod and it is increasing exponentially with every product launch. I believe their software and hardware goes well together, that seperates them from their competitors. Plus, i abosolutely love their customer support staff, those guys are just awesome.
Having products from apple is great. Having the help and reviews, tips, tricks from iMore is the greaterest!!
After running my own site for a while, I have since given it up, deleted all RSS feeds except for iMore. It's the only coverage I need for my Apple related fix!
I can't afford a new iPad ... But I want one lol
IMore...Great news and event coverage...and Apple...their products work and work well.
iDevices are beautiful and iMore is informative both of them consume me.

I love Apple because their products are the perfect blend of form and function. My entire family uses one device or more. I love imore because they are always on the cutting edge of information but don't talk down to the user.

Great job!
The tech from Apple and the news about it from iMore ... What a perfect pair! Enjoying them both!
Apple and iMore three words Simply the Best!!!!!

Thank you for having cool giveaways. I love Rene and the team for always keeping us current with apple news. I know they work hard.
iMore has the best Apple coverage in the biz! I read it every night! Would love the new iPad, excited to see what it has in store.
I really hope for a huge bump on the iPad mini! iMore delivers the best in Apple news and rumors that arent just rumors :-) Apple is a huge part of my life and i couldnt live without them!
Love this, can't wait to see the new Pads today.
Apple of my eye…
Best devices and best coverage of those devices.
Been a long time iMore fan, the bookmark in my browser still has it under TiPB! Perfect mix of news, reviews, rumors and more. Love Apple for great hardware and fluid software. My iPad 2 is getting a little rusty, would love to win a new one!!!
I dont know what's better, using apple products or following Apple news. Either way I'm addicted, and iMore is my dealer.
Apple makes a lot of my day more enjoyable because of how thoughtful they are; iMore makes my day better because of Debug.
Looking forward to the new iPads announced today. Still the best tablets out there.
Why I love Apple? the same reason we're all here... It's the reason we check our twitter, RSS and Email for any (and every) tiny bit of news, gossip or leaked info on the newest developments, or the latest technologies. We're all technology lovers (fanboy's or whatever the label is this morning.) As technology lovers, there's a certain feeling you get when you use or even un-box a new Apple product. there's a sense of craftsmanship and commitment to the user experience that you get when you use an iDevice. It's what keeps me coming back time and time again.
The reason I love iMore is even more simple. Simply put, it's because you guys really get and understand exactly what I wrote above...
im poor and is so nice to win something never in my life won anything but abuse i would love to have an ipad maybe ill start to make money i so would love if u make me a winner call me 3472302724 my name is cindy
iMore is the go to for info about the most creative company on the planet.
I just got my first iPhone after a few Android phones. Glad I finally made the switch. Loving the 5C and really don't understand the hate it gets. It is a great option for the consumer who doesn't need a 5S.
I would love to get the new iPad due to the slow painful death of my current iOS devices
You guys are literally the best apple news website there is!!!!!!! I love apple more than anything and there's no where better to hear the latest news first then right here!!!!!
Mature and respected editors, a great place to go and get mature news about Apple and iStuff without the typical 3rd grade comments. Plus the fact that I'm still using an iPad first generation... Definitely need an upgrade!
I love Apple. I've had an iPod sine they first came out, as well as an iPad and 2 Apple TVs. They're fantastic products. And I really like iMore because Rene is a brilliant writer in my opinion.
'Love' is such a strong word... Which is why I reserve it for Apple and iMore. Now how about a little reciprocity? :)
How many chickens and virgins do I have to sacrifice to win one of these contests?!?!?!
love using my Apple products to go to iMore to learn more about apple products!
I ❤imore and apple! Need a new ipad!
iMore + All Apple = Quality and enduring value! Rene is an outstanding journalist. He can be both technically competent and personable. He knows how to extract the best from his guests in his interviews. iMore is respectful of their readers and listeners. Please do more interviews and podcasts. Apple needs more insightful commentators who provide true clarity and understanding of where their brilliance truly shines and makes them one-of-a-kind kind of company. Apple's best days are truly ahead of us.
Love how you guys keep me up to dare in apple.
I need to replace my ipad 1!!!
I'm worried that by 2pm today, I'm going to have 6 things on my Apple wish list!
I'm also kinda mad, at this point, that I didn't bring my AppleTV to work to hook up to our 46" office TVs!
All that being said, 1pm ET can't get here soon enough!!!
Apple and imore are both the best at what they do! Keep up the great work!! *fingers crossed* Thank You!!!!!!!!!
Love Apple and all their products but I love iMore more! The place to go for all things Apple.
I love apple because their products just work and love imore because they tell me how their products just work.

I love Apple because their products do as advertised and I love iMore because they help us get more of the ad advertised out of Apple products!
How much I love Apple and how much I love iMore!
My dream is to one day work for the Most Valuable Company in the World. An iPad would truly help me get through school and help me do work and research easier. iMore just fuels my urge to work for Apple more. Providing updates and all the latest news makes iMore one of my favorite websites. Please help me fulfill my dream, iMore!
I remember the nay-sayers when the original iPad came out. "It's a big iPhone", "It will flop", etc… how wrong they were. I remember thinking "Who wouldn't want this? It's a great idea and a fantastic device!". I love Apple for creating things that no one else would. And I love iMore for the best coverage on the net!
I love apple because they make great products that are usable and dont get in the way. I love imore because i can find all the news about apple there.
I hope I win, I could use a mini for flying, a full size is just too big for the cockpit!
My family and I have been apple users for the longest time. We have the first generation iPad and are looking to get a new one. (It's about time!) It would mean so much to our family if we could get an iPad through my favorite apple news website! Thanks for always giving me the most reliable news ever, iMore!
I've never owned an iPad (though it's been recurring on my wish list since iPad 1) but I'm sure I know everything teensy weensy detail and info there is to know about the it because of iMore. Let's make this wish come true finally!
Apple products have an unmistakable quality about them inside and out physically, and the user experience on any of their devices is as close to perfect as anybody is ever going to get, they just feel so good in your hands. iMore keeps me in the know about them, the good and the bad with interesting, well thought and easily read articles, it's one of my top gadget info sites.
I love iMore because you guys are awesome. I'd love an iPad since I'm starting my Apple programming classes on Monday.
I love apple so much I sleep with my iPhone and I pad in each arm every night.
Apple has some of the best built devices around, and TiPB has all the related news and rumors. Their coverage is second to none.
Imore is the perfect site for apple product. I love apple because i just caught up with the apple's eco system from the time i got the 2nd gen Ipad. I'm planning to upgrade when the time it release. I just hope i can win this time though.
Huge Fan of both Apple and imore, i keep checking your site for the latest information in technology, cheers from the heart of Damascus!

I love Apple because of the excellent products they sell me, and iMore because about once a month they give away one of those excellent Apple products.
I've been an Ipad user for some years now, however even though it's has an ease of use, lots of apps basically made everyone............., I'd like Apple executives to realize that you don't have to come out with one a year, I appreciate what your doing but every two years....ok it makes since update, renovate or make look more cool with apps ext... That's really it love the ipad, please keep up the good work. Even my mom and dad live using it......and my dad doesn't even embrace Technology.

Apple makes great products and iMore does a great job of reporting on those products!!
I love Apple because they have great features such as ITunes, Apple TV, and ICloud.
You keep asking us to tell you how much we love Apple and YOU!? Man, you guys are really hard up for wanting some compliments. Seriously though, can't say enough how much I've enjoyed all the great news/info/insights from iMore. Easily my best resource for Apple stuff. Oh yeah, and Apple's pretty cool too.
Well, not really sure what to say here. I suppose I could big up iMore etc, but that would be just fawning to win. So I'll just say, yeah, i'd like one please.

Apple pays exquisite attention to each and every detail of their products, and iMore does a fantastic job of paying exquisite attention to apple :)
I have been a Windows techi for over 20 years and was never more surprised as to how much I was drawn into the light of Apple via the iPhone 3GS and a couple years later, the iPad wifi/3G. Yes the iPhone was my gateway drug into the Apple society, but it was the iPad that opened my eyes to all the possibilities that is Apple. Subsequent tablets from the lesser competitors and quality, ease of use and reliability won every time.
IMore has become my go to source for everything Apple. I rely on them to keep me up to date with straight forward, honest reporting without all the fluff sites like this is known for. Keep up the good work. Love you guys!!

Using apple products is now a part of me and is ultimately a way of life for my friends and I. I remember when I had just got my first iPod touch some years ago, that was when I knew I had found a good companion. At the time, so many people around me had not got any apple device, so I had to look for reasons to convince them why they should buy an Apple product, I stumbled on the iMore site and I faithfully followed every post and found more and more reasons to choose to use an apple product over any other one. Today, everyone of my friends has at least an iPhone and now I have got a Macbook Air, iPad and an iPhone. My life revolves around all these devices and they perform their individual duties. I've been looking forward to getting the iPad5 right from the first time I saw it's leaks and following every update on its anticipated features on iMore has made the cravings more. I would be really lucky to win it.Thanks for the opportunity.
iMore remains my go to source for the best Apple iOS news.
Apple + iMore = Simplicity
I'll do just about anything for free stuff, but really I do love Apple and of course iMore cause they do the best job in covering the things I love.

My Email Digests
I originally went to the urologist when I was 19 years old after I woke up one day with a hard chord from the top left base of the penis that went up to almost the head and curled to the side with a very slight bump, it isn't always palpable when flaccid; when erect and semi-erect, it is noticeable and pulsates with my heartbeat.
it is somewhat painful when getting erect, and afterwards generally is somewhat sore and inflamed, not always though. It is also somewhat slightly painful to the touch when flaccid.
The doctor brushed off my concerns, and when he palated it in the flaccid state it hurt, I said so, and his statement was "it shouldn't".
And that was that.
I lived with it for a couple years and went to another urologist, he also brushed off my concerns.
I figured they may be right and this is all normal, I also suffered with Chronic Pelvic pain syndrome, and figured maybe the pain was caused by muscles. which doesn't explain the chord though.
About 6 months ago I finally found info on Mondors disease.
I can't stand this anymore and cannot believe I lived with this all this time. I went to my GP and she said it would be 4-8 months to see a urologist, FOR penis PAIN (thats canadian health care for you!!!)
So I will go see an american urologist this time and demand an ultrasound, and pay out of pocket. My idea was to get a thrombectomy, if possible???
My question:
I just feel like the biggest idiot in the world to beleive these doctors, and soldiered on so recklessly. I'm sure in that timeframe I have inflamed that vein (sex/ masturbation) and in essence my penis at least a thousand times....
The literature says Mondor's is a benign condition, but I imagine they mean when it goes away on it's own after a few weeks/months, mine never went away, I'm now almost 27.
and even though when it's not in its inflamed state, it feels quite normal, I'm scared of developing peyronies or something down the line.
Any comments are greatly appreciated,
Thank you.
Unfortunately it is left to the patient to be persistent with the doctor when they don't reach a satisfactory outcome. The doctor will often not pursue something unless the patient makes it an issue.
Mondor's is certainly something you want treated. Hopefully the time that has passed will not affect the ability to reach a positive outcome treatment. There are some conditions that only can be remedied when addressed early.
Lack of treatment may result in other life-threatening concerns of which this can be a symptom.
thanks a lot for replying,
I have a couple more questions.
In the literature, it always talks about Mondor's as thrombosis of "THE" superficial dorsal vein....is there only one?, because the vein that troubles me is not that big vein but runs right beside it, my "vein" is very small in comparison....
Also, this vein, during an erection, pulses, with the heartbeat. Does that mean it may only be partially clotted?
....there is definitely a clot/lump though, that's where it hurts most.
Is it probable an ultrasound will not be able to see what I have just described? As there is some blood flow, and it's not the BIG vein?
Again, thanks counterso for graciously answering peoples troubling questions on here like this.
Only an exam from a urologist is going to make a diagnosis.
Though I haven't been diagnosed, I'm 99% sure this is sclerosing lymphangitis, I thought that could only be at the coronal sulcus, but have read a few people say it can extend from base up the shaft. and I found this pic, showing lymph channels on penis.
beside the irritated lymph "thread" near the head is a very small lumpy mass, That is the only part that gets irritated from touch, and kinda hurts while erecting and sometimes with erection.
You wrote to someone else about this:
"Prolonged irritation, such as with nodules and lymph channels, can create scar tissue, which then makes the effects rather permanent. That's why you want to let them heal fully and completely and not aggravate them further."
So since I have had this for several years and kept irritating it, does that mean even the pain/inflammation on touching it and erection could possibly stay forever?
The inflamed lymph channel itself, even in the span of a week, has gotten less noticeable, since having not touched it at all, but the lump is the same.
the thought of having pain in my penis forever scares me massively. I can't have sex/masturbate again until that lump is gone. if it ever leaves.
It is definitely very slowly getting better, though I'd imagine it will take a long time.
erections are still very uncomfortable, so I try as hard as I can not to have them.
I cannot believe how little information there is on this problem, and how backwards the info that is out there is.....unbelievable.
Mine looks and is quite different from the average "look" of this disease....thats why I unfortunately I dismissed this long ago.
Not that any other doctor is saying "DONT TOUCH YOUR PENIS", anyway......Most say it just goes away. Some say don't have sex/masterbation, and others say to massage or press on the problem spot, to drain it.
I can say without a shadow of a doubt, though, in my advanced stage, that it CAN get flared up by erections/erecting, touching the sides of my pants (for sure), and most of all touch in the flaccid state.
A few weeks ago, before my eureka moment, I was pressing directly on the problem spot (on dumb advice from internet answer for $ docs) in flaccid state and that made it worse than ever, and its still bad. Its actually what made me realize all this.
Anyway, just one question. You mention in different threads, that folks may have irritated/inflamed a lymph ''NODE" in the penis. I have read elsewhere there are NO lymph nodes in the penis, just channels.
My painful spot is a small bump 3/4 of the way up the shaft, the inflamed channel runs the full way up the shaft and goes right through the bump and curls under the head with minimal soft fluid/lymph buildup just under the head.
Nothing hurts but the bump, So if there IS nodes in the penis, then this definitely is one.
It would be great to get closure on that aspect.
None of this is noticeable by flaccid visual inspection and I don't expect another would be able to feel/see anything without REALLY trying, and so diagnosis wouldn't happen, and another patient slips through the cracks.
I'm sorry that this has been so persistent for you. Surely there is some soft tissue damage from prolonged inflammation, however it's unknown the extent or whether a return to complete normalcy is possible for you.
Your doctor may be able to prescribe a supervised high-dose of anti-inflammatory medication for you, which may or may not help. Have you tried the cream I suggested can help clear lymph congestion?
The issue is that the penis kind of lies outside the area where musculature helps move lymph fluid, so when there's an issue like this, the duration is unpredictable. In other parts of the body, manual lymph drainage is more possible. Because the structure of the penis is so different from other parts of your body, manual lymph drainage is not really an option, and you may frequently get unintended irritation from fitted clothing, non-sexual erections, and other circumstances.
Something that helps move lymph in the body (very gentle bouncing on a trampoline, so your feet don't leave the surface of the trampoline), may not be helpful for this because the penis is kind of a dead end street. There's no real flow through, so lymph is more easily trapped in this appendage.
Good luck! And I'm sorry to hear this has lasted so long for you.
I have a cream called lymphagen, I'll try to see if that cream you talked about will make it over the border.
Now that I have stopped irritating it for over a month now, I've noticed a couple things you've mentioned. Firstly, my superficial dorsal vein used to be VERY prominent, now it has gone away quite noticeably. likely what you said about the congested lymph pushing the veins to prominence. I also notice a very slight rash in the area, generally coinciding with things getting better.
This all has had a pretty bad effect on my well-being. While I'm ecstatic I've found the cause of the problems. It makes me cringe to think of the chronic inflammation I've caused. my flaccid penis is now different from before. before it was basically the epitome of inflamed: somewhat hard, hot, glans was bigger, veins were prominent, kind of pulled into the body. sometimes it would even have an hourglass shape, not with an erection though thankfully......now it looks much more normal.
I have mentioned all that to urologists, and "it's all normal"....well it wasn't, this should have been a slam dunk diagnosis on symptoms alone. In any case, while offering no other help, why they wouldn't just say "don't touch your penis for a while and see if it goes away"......seems ridiculous.
Anyway, I'd just like to ask your thoughts on what kind of problems could occur from "soft tissue damage" in the penis, caused by the chronic inflammation. Are we actually talking about inside the corpus cavernosum chambers?
Whether or not I get out of this you have helped me more than anyone else, EVER Counterso, and if this goes away and I luckily sidestep calamity.....you've literally saved my life where no one else, including medical professionals, did, could or would.....so you have my deepest thanks.
I have read a couple places that vasculitis (including lymph inflammation) can cause peyronies. Gladly that hasn't happened yet.
Also, there isn't much info other than people snapping their penises, rather than chronic inflammation that has lasted several years.
There's unlikely a solid rule to follow, only anecdotal experiences, as far as what you can expect. You may be able to infer some amount of probability of outcomes depending on how much physiology you are familiar with.
As most men probably don't like to talk about problems with their penises, the volume of information outside a specialist's office is expected to be quite low.
Glad to be of some help.
And you have me sitting here with a completely roasted dick, I haven't touched it in a month and a half and it still randomly aches flaccid, and I'm sure if I tried to have an erection it would just get half way there and start hurting...when its not somewhat bloated and swollen, it is curled up in the fetal position dying. (the latter being more comfortable) lol...
But if I went to the urologist today and said this, they would just say I'm nuts...just like the other times. Other than a bit of lymph buildup at the head, mine isn't obvious at all, but its very bad. And I have to say, the inflamed swollen feeling of the lymph is a really gross feeling, it feels like it will snap sometimes, very odd feeling like no other pain/discomfort that I can compare to.
One things for sure, this has been made exponentially worse by pressing into and massaging the problem spot, ONE TIME, in the flaccid state, than all the roughest masterbation of the past several years.....which is ironically, what some doctors on the net are telling people to do to help the problem. (why i did it)
They can't even come to a consensus on what to call it, its like we're in the 16th century.
And unfortunately, if you don't know at least one of the terms they call it you are unlikely to find it because any site that lists penis problems just have the usual suspects: Peyronies, priapism, balanitis, Phimosis etc......they do not list this, even Mondors goes unspoken of. Which is the main reason this happened to me, and I'm sure many others. I could not find the information, I thought I knew of every problem.
There needs to be a site that really explains this problem, without the crap.
I'm really just writing this so maybe some other poor sod doesn't have to go through this.....I've had my share of bad health problems, and the establishment are seriously underestimating this one. I just pray my penis isn't permanently screwed.
And unless they work in a densely populated area where people might actually seek treatment, the statistical likelihood that they have had to deal with a specific issue before is dramatically decreased.
Perhaps unfortunately, it is the patient's responsibility to demand care, not the doctor's responsibility to develop care.
If I try to watch porn to see if erections still hurt, I can't get to like 20% without it hurting......it is just swollen. ( obviously I dont touch it).
Things keep getting better in the flaccid state extremely slowly, but it seems like every time I try to get erections they are possibly even worse.
I think my penis is ruined, but I don't see how I could have gone all this time inflaming it, and now just pressing on that spot flaccid has made everything exponentially worse, and done this.
If I had somehow popped or ripped this lymph "node" as you call them, and created scar tissue, would that be obvious????
I just don't know what to do, as you say, all a urologist will do if anything is give me antiinflammatories, I can't put that cream on it because touching it in the slightest will flare it up. But I mean, for almost 2 months my penis has been being destroyed by inflammation. I've been going crazy this whole time but now I'm really losing it.
As I've never heard of this happening to anyone, I'm in this alone, and don't know if it will ever work again, or if there's something I should be doing.
