I have a major problem that has me off the bike. Whenever I ride (or even sit in the wrong position), I feel like I have been kicked in the nuts. THe duration can last hours.

I have been to the doctor and it's related to blood-flow through my veins in the area. Surgery possibly can help, but in the interim, the doctor told me to take tylenol for pain (little help).

Has anyone had this problem?
Any suggestions to alleviate problem?
Anyone had the surgery? Did it work?

Thank you.

Responses on the DH forum have been helpful. Here is more info:

Thank you for the responses.

According to the doctor, it is likely the varicose vein problem. I am awaiting a CT scan result. Different seats, etc. absolutely does not help. I have even ridden standing up and the motion causes pain.

Also, like a previous poster said, the pain is on the left and only rarely moves to the right.

Re. The varicose vein problem being easily fixed: Any further information?

Thanks.

My doctor recommended a saddle with a cutout to take the pressure off. It's been several years since that advice was taken and my boys have been pretty happy.

How is your bike fit? An improperly fit bike can cause you to sit incorrectly on your saddle, thus putting pressure where it doesn't belong.

The fix might be as simple as tipping the nose of your saddle down a bit and put the pressure on your ass bones and not your nuts...
