Stenosis

Is there any way of telling if an ED problem is being caused by Stenosis of the spine or ones therapy not hitting the marque...
Had lower back injuries in the past...but my back seems good at the mo other than the odd twinge every now and then.
I am squatting once a week...but I don't know if damaging myself by squatting.
I know this old game can be complex but are there are any signs to look out for to ensure i'm not doing long term irreversible damage.....that would be a right downer.
Things have deteriorated in the bedroom department since I had my crash in May....changed things around back to my old protocol and steadily got back to feeling myself again.
The only thing I have tweaked is DHEA which I dropped after my crash and then built up from 6.5mg then 12mg and then25mg which I ran for 2 weeks before a complete non start in the bedroom dept the other day.
Leading on from this let down I have quickly tapered the DHEA back to 6.5mg a day to see if this improves things.

Cheers guys

I can totally relate, things have never been the same since I was T-Boned even with TRT(which has helped) the only way you could possibly know is an MRI or CAT scan to look for nerve impingement but this is not 100% accurate if you have instability like lumbarisation of the sacrum as an example. TRT is not enough for many on this site so Cialis or others can help you might find this interesting https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?7651-Tadalafil(Cialis)-how-long-to-kick-in
 
A good chiropractor *may* be able to help too if it is just a matter of adjusting your spine a few times. I know chiropractors can be controversial, so my 2-cents would be to find one with a good reputation and then try a few adjustments and then decide if it helps or not. If not, you are out the cost of a few adjustments at worst.
 
Thanks guys...I will keep tweaking away...the Dutch Test kit has arrived now so I'm gonna complete that and get it sent of across the pond and see if that flags up anything interesting with my therapy which can be improved.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
