Can't take much more

I have been experiencing symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction for almost 8 months. My last trip to the urologist found that I do not have any kind of infection. He sent me for an ultrasound on the testicles which didn't yield any findings.
I am going to have a CAT scan to determine if there is any damage in the nerves in my back or groin area. I had a scope shoved into my bladder from my penis (really painful) and no scar tissue was found. I don't feel this is any kind of mental issue.
What can be done for nerve damage if anything is found? Has anyone been through this and gone back to normal?

I should also add that my prostate appeared to be swollen and that I have been given 6 weeks of a prostate/muscle relaxer which is supposed to alleviate that problem.

Unfortunately nothing. You can't fix nerves.
One thing that should be done is to have an aparatus attached to your penis when you sleep at night. Males have nocturnal erections a few times per night. This device checks the blood pressure in your penis and detects erections. If you get normal erections at night then it's usually not a physical problem.

I can get them they are just really weak. And I don't get them during the day as frequently as I used to. My penis feels less sensitive than is used to. And I can still ejaculate.
What if its a pinched nerve(s)? Can that be corrected?

How old are you?
How is your blood pressure?
Do you have diabetes?
Are you overweight?

You should really follow the poor guy's posts more. He's already posted a lot on the subject and is really into working out and lifting weights.

I should follow up here more but I haven't. I apologize for that.
Anyways I am 19, in great physical shape, good blood pressure, no diabetes.
I work out regularly and was told I had everything from epididymitis to nothing, to stress, to a testicular abscess. No one seems to be able to help me.

You must be losing confidence in doctors by now and I don't blame you, but you need to find a new one; one with better skills.
Is there any chance this guy thinks you're gay? Some un-gay-friendly doctors will do NOTHING for you if they think you are gay. It doesn't matter whether you are or not.
Seek out the best doctor you can travel to AND (I repeat myself here) tell him/her everything you have ever done or ever taken.
Hold back nothing.
Did you check out a good chiropractor? It may not be nerve damage yet, but pinched nerves causing the problems.
Don't give up!

I'm confused. I didn't say that to you, but to ScottP14 .

I know I appreciate that you did. I was explaining that perhaps I have a habit of popping in and out, hence he does not recognize my username.
No I haven't been to a chiropractor yet because I have been busy trying to complete school and now I am getting very little support from my family. Seems that the problem has gone on so long that they don't feel it matters anymore.

Is there anything that had been said that you'd like to re-visit?
Or maybe you'd like to start a new thread and start from the beginning and re-state what's going on and what you have found out so far?
Maybe, in the new thread, somebody can come up with an answer that helps.
Continued best wishes!

This might sound like a silly question, but when you say that you have been suffering from erectile dysfunction... it has a very vast range of severity, and some grades even overlap what is normal for a particular individual. How bad are your symptoms, can you not get an erection, or do you have problems maintaining it? sorry if I'm going back to basics here.

I do not get any erections during the day. I do not get them without personally stimulating myself. They are very weak. The head never gets hard anymore. The "tube" where the semen comes from and the area around it also does not get hard.
