Can Masturbation Cause Neuropathy Leading To Burning Sensation In Thigh?

HI Doc, I am 34 year old unmarried male, having average body type, weight 65kg and height of 5ft 10inches. I had undergone circumcision of penis at the age of 12 due to some sort inflammation while passing urine. After a month of surgery, there was no inflammation but I noticed that my penis leaned to the left and arched during erection. Because of this I observed that my left testicle grew smaller in size when compared to the right. I discussed with friends and found it was normal, so did worry much on it. I started masturbating at age of 18 with frequency of twice/thrice per week till age of 25year. During the period 26-33year of age, I masturbate almost five days a week. In early 2010, I was diagnosed with partially healed duodenal ulcer. I was on medication and diet for a month as per advice of doctor. I continue be on diet with only fruits, vegetables and curd for almost six months without the consulting the doctor. Later in Dec 2012, I started feeling burning sensation in my right thigh and pain in my right foot in sitting posture. I consulted neurologist and underwent Blood test, ANA test, Vitamin B12 & D3, MRI (spine) and Nerve Conduction Study (NCV). Results of tests: Blood sugar – normal, ANA – negative, Vitamin B12 & D3 – deficiency (B12 : My neurologist diagnosed it as “Meralgia Paresthetica” and advised medication “Lyrica” 75mg one during night time and Nervijen injection. But, my problem got worse while sitting during this period I continued to work at office for almost 10hr day. Due to which, I started getting severe inflammation and could not continue to sit for not more than 15 min. In Jan 14, I again had my MRI & NCV; results showed Bilateral CPN axonal neuropathy (right left) and disc bulging at L3-L4 and L4-L5 with mild impingement. Presently, I am not working and taking bed rest for last five months. Although, I am on a balanced diet, the inflammation still exist when I sit (I consulted several doctor but most of them advised same medication (Lyrica, gabapentin, pregablin, etc. which were of any use. My questions are 1.     Did I develop neuropathy because of Masturbation? 2.     Can neuropathy cured? 3.     Medications such as Lyrica, pregablin, etc. are they helpful because I developed sleepiness, stomach upset, confusion. Kindly advice Thanks and regards
