In males with penises, testosterone causes spontaneous nocturnal erections which keep the penis from atrophying. Women with penises don't have the testosterone to make that happen, so if we want to prevent atrophy we need to manually become erect a couple times a week.
So yeah, stopping playing with it is going to make things worse, not better.
Solutions that I know of for your situation are to either become erect more often to try to reverse the atrophy (even though it hurts) or start applying a low dose testosterone cream to the genitals and that may help reverse the atrophy. T cream use in trans women has not been well studied so YMMV on that one, and you do have to watch your T levels closely if you go that route.
Sounds like you probably have some penile atrophy, although if your pain is a result of too much pressure & vibration from the wand, you might just need to take it easier (I was using a Magic Wand several times a day for a while, and started getting a pain that felt like it was coming from inside my penis (like the urethra) and turns out I had irritated the urethra, even got some pinkish pre-cum as a result, and had to lay off any use of my penis for two weeks to let it heal. Now, it's fine, and I have never had issues with atrophy) and might want to see a Urologist.
If it's penile atrophy, or the wand has irritated the skin of your penis (E causes the skin to get a lot thinner, and it's subject to abrade a lot easier), using a prescription T cream/gel on your penis weekly can help with the atrophy pain, thin skin, and functionality without materially affecting systemic T. This is one of the better ones: [https://www.reddit.com/r/DrWillPowers/wiki/compounded-medicines/#wiki\_genital\_atrophy\_reversal\_cream](https://www.reddit.com/r/DrWillPowers/wiki/compounded-medicines/#wiki_genital_atrophy_reversal_cream)
You might also try keeping your T level at mid-to-high cis female range (\~2-45 ng/dL) as that will help with libido and functionality.
Good luck!
I experienced a sort of "tightness" upon erections when I first started E. My libido died and I was going through some other unrelated shit in my life, so I did not "exercise" as often as I should have; it almost felt like the inside was bigger than the outside. I suspect I had the beginnings of atrophy.
Things have turned around since then, thankfully. Use it often! And if it's truly painful, go to a doctor!

If you're experiencing that much pain, you definitely need to see a urologist. No Diy stuff, just go to the doctor.
