Hi deep sky

So after some searching on the internet I found your post about the PNI that you had removed. I was wondering if you could shed some light on recovery and any additional info you feel would help me out please.

Like yourself I got diagnosed with PNI. I am a male, 35 years old. I used race in Cat 2 until this thing showed up. So far I have seen a Urologyst who refused to remove it, and since then I have found a general surgeon who is willing to do it. I am just really curious about recovery. Where you able to get back onto your bike after some rest? Does it bother you still even though you had it removed? If you could be so kind and shed some light on this. It really sucks getting this thing. I went from winning my age division to riding my bike off and on.

Thanks in advance
