General: fuck... looks like i'm going to be out of the saddle for a while.

so after a lengthy ER visit last night i found out that i have a 1.5cm epididymal cyst-- most likely from the amount of time i spend in the saddle (my bike is my only transportation).
i'm still kind of in shock with A) the great news that i don't have testicular cancer and B) i can't ride my bike until this thing goes away!


fuck! i'm lucky. shit! this sucks.

May you have a speedy recovery!

I have developed a mysterious pain in my shoulder that is so severe that I can hardly ride my bike. Less severe than your malady, but I still have doctors orders to not ride until it goes away.

Looks like we will be on time out together.

Damn fool is that why you ain't been tryin to come out and ride? And here I thought you were just being snobby :P

Dag, heal up quick and get back on the bike as soon as you are healthy

pics or it didn't happen

i 've got one of them! (bloody aches like hell sometimes)
all men out there check your crown jewels regularly to make sure alls ok.

i have a fluid filled cyst basically on top of my left nut...on my epididymis, which is basically my jizz delivery tubes.

i mean i have a pretty gorgeous scroat, but i doubt any one other than you would appreciate the pictures. i did see the ultrasound (yes a middle aged woman lubed up my balls) and it looked pretty gnarly.

fuck yea that shit is a real pain the nuts. worst is that they just told me to take a shit ton of ibuprofen (2400mg/day) and stay off the bike till it goes away, i almost wish they could stick a needle in my sac and drain that thing so i could get back on my bike.

whatever though, at least its not cancer.

good luck with the recovery though

Had the same thing man, was the size of a friggin' softball, no joke, before I had it surgically taken care of. Actually rode from canada to mexico with the damn problem, didn't hurt but was fucking annoying. Was off the bike for about a month after surgery. Hope it's not required in your case.

Welcome to the club. I'm out for easily a week. Laid my Ciocc down on a patch of uneven pavement now I'm hobbling around on crutches.

they can drain it for you, well at least in my case they could, but it was a very temporary solution.

looks like you have the oppisite problem of lance arm., his body got rid of a ball your body wants a 3rd one

well i guess it could but look at lance.it takes balls and big ones to do the tdf and do it well

I've had this problem as well, shaving and friction are the possible causes here. The only remedy that I've discovered is using a harsh exfolient like something with coarse sea salt to keep that area exfoliated and the skin ultra clean. We all shave and over time even with a top line cream hairs can become in imbedded and cause micro infections that can turn into a cyst. by then draining it isn't pretty. I use The Origins for Men Skin Diver, it has Bamboo Charcoal and sea salt to keep the skin from forming these under the skin problems. I suffered for many years with this problem my self! after every ride or at the end of the day scrub hard! a coarse cloth will do, this should prevent this form happening. a antibacterical soap also can be effective. It sucks not to be able to ride because you cant sit on your saddle! If the Dr. has to cut you'll be down for weeks because you cant heal properly without getting off.

AHHHHH DRINK BEER!!! I am glad you are alright. Watch plenty of lost.

I thought mine was third nut. I was like 16. Was embarrassing as hell to tell my mom "I think I need to go to the doctor." her- "Why, what's wrong?" me- "Ummmm, I just need to go..."
