Hi....

 

Has any riders experienced a trapped nerve issue before?

 

Went out for a ride and felt uncomfortable on my seat. I got off after 50 km and felt stabbing pains in my perineum ( the part that hits the front nose of your seat :blush: )

 

Since then, when i sit down, all the pressure hits to this area and i feel pressure pains, sometimes, stabbing - strange enough, sometimes itching but internally.

 

Has anyone expereinced this before? When i get on my seat, it still very sore but when i poke :thumbdown: the area, no pain at all, only when i sit for longer than 30 minutes on a flat seat.

 

Anyone out there experience this and what did you do to find comfort.

 

So, now i dont feel so awkwaerd anymore :eek:

Sounds like it might be an internal hemorrhoid, the "internal" itching and the stabbing pain. Lifted anything really heavy recently?

serious guys....anyone out there experience this?

 

Had something similar in my hip..... Turned out to be an inflamed nerve... Painful as hell. Anti-inflammatories and rest sorted it out in about 2 weeks.

 

Strange that the doctor couldn't think of something...

It would be rather scarce to have a nerve issue in the perineum (not impossible though). The diagnosis that can slip through is prostatitis. Yes young men can get it too. Others: Bladder infection. Proctitis (infection in the rectal area - fungal often). My money on a prostate that is inflamed. Go see an Urologist. He will make the diagnosis.

Watch this video - this is the most likely cause if you have eliminated infection/structural issues - compression.

 

 

I have 2 suggestions:

 

1 - get a decent bike fit from someone that knows what they are doing.

2 - consider a different saddle that has a relief cut out in the area.
