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.

Ouch! I had teste pain only happen to me once on a ride. It hurt like hell during the ride and for a couple of days after, but it went away and I have not experienced it since. Obviously it was a one time thing in my case.

I can't imagine Tylenol being strong enough to alleviate the pain though.

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 DH forum 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.

For those of you suggesting different saddles - I think his probably is probably bigger than just a new saddle. Did you even read the thread???

Roberts - sorry to hear about the pain, it must really suck. I don't have any suggestions for you, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is the varicose vein, as you mentioned that would be an easy fix.

Good luck dude.
