Continuing “Un-explained Event” – Urethra Pain

I'm wondering if wrapping a penis with soft padded dressing might help the pain, especially with it rubbing on underwear. I'm dealing with pain right now post implant surgery. I'm wearing stretchy, snug boxer briefs, which hold everything in place, so nothing rubs.
I have chronic pain in my feet and ankles from peripheral neuropathy (CIDP), and use 5% lidocaine cream to numb the pain enough to go to sleep. The cream I get is Base Numb, on Amazon for under $20. Prescription is over $100. The packaging says it's used for tats, and for anal rectal pain. Maybe it would give at least some temporary relief.
I wonder if a neurologist or a physiatrist might be able to figure out a diagnosis. Anyone tried those avenues?
Chronic pain is harder to deal with that people realize, and it has a definite effect on mental health. That's certainly my experience.

That is actually a good idea. My wife mentioned the same changing my underwear to something with more padding, more supportive. She mentioned she saw this one underwear that gives more support to the scrotum. Not sure if that will work, but I guess is willing a try. I also read that adding petroleum jelly to the tip may help with the daily tip rubbing against my underwear. I havent tried this yet, so I am not sure if this a good idea.
Something tells me that I will be eventually seeing a neurologist or psychiatrist if the pain does not subside. I am actively seeking a second opinion to see if I go down the same rabbit hole. The pain is definitely not on the high threshold, but dealing with the same pain on a daily basis runs you down mentally. I try to express to my wife how much I need her support during this time. I do not have the drive to leave the house just because I know it will involve me moving about. I am definitely depressed and finding it harder to concentrate on things that would normally free me of thought.
