Unfortunately it sounds like you got bad advice from 3 doctors. A 2005 study found that the average age of a first retraction was around 10 years.
Forcible retraction should not be attempted because it can damage the penis / foreskin.
Speaking from personal experience, my foreskin first retracted when I was around 6 or 7 as far as I can remember. It was extremely tight at first, and I first retracted it whilst in the bath. It gets much more loose over time though, and the more you retract it (especially when you pee / masturbate) the easier it will become.
