Is your pain in the tip of the penis or in the shaft? Is your penis tender to the touch?
I ask because I have peyronie's disease and constant penile pain which is not a typical symptom of peyronie's disease. But I wonder how much of the pain is from CPPS and how much is from peyronie's. My penis is extremely tender to the touch to the point where pushing gently causes pain, walking causes pain, sex or masturbation cause bad flare-ups. I also have pain on erection.
Question for those with penile pain.

Question for those with penile pain.
Age: 30 | Onset Age: 27 | Symptoms: Peyronie's disease, pain on left side of penis upon erection or sexual activity, pelvic pain and muscle tension emanating from obturator internus, eventually pain spreads to penis, perineum, or anus when it gets bad, hard flaccid, perineum muscles spasm when erect. Helped By: relaxing, hot baths, taking walks | Worsened By: sexual activity increases penile pain, coffee increases pain in perineum and causes urinary pressure, stress or stimulation increase pelvic pain.
Re: Question for those with penile pain.
In my specific case, it was a combination of urethral pain (from bulbospongiosus TP) and a general lower shaft discomfort (still unknown).
The pain on erection could be caused by TPs in your ischiocavernosus, a muscle that supports the erection. I also had some discomfort (not quite pain) on erection, and massaging the ischio seemed to relieve that.

Re: Question for those with penile pain.
Even without touching it at all, I have a constant (all the time) penile discomfort. It is felt mainly in the tip of penis, as a general tenderness. Sometimes it feels like a slight burning and sometimes like a discomfor which is difficult for me to explain in words. It is painful only if I press along the penis/urethra, mainly in the bulb's area (just above and below the scrotum) and the perineal area - that's when I can feel a "shooting" sharp pain running along the penis. I have no particular issues related to sexual function.Thisismyusername wrote:Is your pain in the tip of the penis or in the shaft? Is your penis tender to the touch?
I have no pain on erection. It is possible to be a part of your Peyronie's symptom(s).Thisismyusername wrote: I ask because I have peyronie's disease and constant penile pain which is not a typical symptom of peyronie's disease.

Age: 30 | Onset Age: 19| Symptoms: Urinary frequency, Urinary urgency, constant 24/7 sensation in the penis (in the tip mainly - burning/pressure/discomfort/"wetness"), Nocturia, discomfort and pressure in the pelvic region radiating to the abdomen and becoming severe as time passes since last urination (resolved in 2014 by myofascial release), Stream velocity is somewhat slow and prolonged with an average velocity of ~13cc/min (and max 18cc/min) found in flowmetry test when bladder is filled with 500cc at age 25 (I always feel like I need to press my abdomen to urinate, improved later on when using alpha blockers)| Helped By: especially MYOFASCIAL RELEASE (especially in the areas of hips and abdomen) - generally resolved my abdominal aches, but penile symptoms remained the same| Worsened By: Coffee and possibly some other food as well| Other comments: Quercetin and acupuncture helped me no more than a placebo effect. Age 25-26: Diagnosed with indirect inguinal hernia and medium hydrocele at the same side. After operation many of the acute symptoms disappeared, but the chronic urinary and pelvic symptoms remained much the same.
