S.o.s, my knob is numb!

So last night I found myself walking into the emergency room, on account of I had lost all sensation in the head of my penis 5 days ago.
I assumed I was just diabetic because I had a lot of other symptoms commonly associated with type 2 diabetes (thirst, hunger, sweating, frequent peeing, etc).
The hospital took blood and urine and told me I was definitely not diabetic. They told me they weren't totally sure why my nerves were damaged.

For months prior to this event I had been masturbating daily. I'd use an iron grip, and I did so several times a day. I masturbated with such force/pressure that I felt pain during.
My penis was actually limp/flaccid during this chaotic tugging, but I'd usually manage to force myself to 'orgasm'. By 'orgasm,' I mean there wasn't any pleasure. It was more of a daily habit. An urge. A very small trickle of water-like semen would be released, but I felt absolutely nothing.

Has anyone here experienced this before? Can someone write me a reassuring response? A response telling me they have also had this happen and that they regained their penile sensitivity?

The doctor told me it'll probably return to normal, and that I should just relax. Easier said than done when it is the single most important appendage a man has. He also warned that it may not come back to normal. I've never been told so many contradictions inside a hospital in all of my life....."your penis is fine....but it may not be fine"....

I haven't masturbated in 6 days now. I may never masturbate again, even if I regain sensitivity someday. It's just not worth it!
It feels so unfair too, because I'm a virgin and just recently I've been learning how to talk to women.
I feel like I finally had a purpose in life when I figured out that talking to women isn't actually that hard....and then just like that, I lose all sensation in my penis. This really takes a toll on my confidence levels, which weren't terribly high to begin with.

 

I hadn't thought about that. Let's see....roughly 18 years total give or take. (I'm 28).

 

I've quit PMO here and there for small bouts of time. Never truly long term.
That's why I'm here though, I'm looking to give it up completely. Possibly forever. I don't like the fact that if I were to meet a woman, I'd be ineffective in bed.

I'm just terrified the sensitivity may never return. ED is most likely PIED as you suggested. If I had health insurance I'd probably be running to the urologist full speed.
