Summary
Male in his twenties who had COVID in March 2022, mild at first, then found the head of his penis about 20% as sensitive as before; numbness was his only symptom. A fourth vaccine dose in October 2022 brought tingling in his toes and fingers. Nicotine patches for four days, supplements and groin ligament release gave no improvement, and nearly four years on he still reported numbness.
