Scares the hell out of me.. I always suspected there is protection with that thick chamois between you and the saddle.

Yeah, me too. Thing is, the shorts I wear, or should I say wore, on my TT rig have this really heavy chamois that hangs down (think diaper) when you're not sitting down.

These: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/...tegory_ID=1120

If the shorts are twisted a bit, and the goods work their way to past the edge of the chamois (which I think is what happened), all bets appear to be off.

Hmmmm, this could explain it. Maybe there was a weak spot on your scrot that gave under a little extra pressure. You should probably angle your seat down to compensate. Maybe a little strategically placed duct tape for reinforcement.

Seriously though, glad your ok, my nuts want to retreat into my abdomen every time I think about this.

No kidding. I had the local anesthetic wear off in the middle of a "procedure" in that area, and this thread had me making squeaky noises.

"How in the bejesus did you do this?" has to be the line of the month...

Well, sometimes ya just gotta look at the bright side...at least you didn't have to go chasin your nuts as they rolled down a long steep hill you just climbed. :eek:

Dude, get some better shorts...or better yet, bibs. You don't need no stinkin thick chamois.

if this isn't BS, the sockpuppet currently known as BustaGuad better have gotten some medical attention post haste.

i'm not a doctor, but i did get a merit badge in 1st aid. on top of that, there's probably a VERY good reason why urologists don't make an incision on the scrotum when performing an orchiectomy.

No pair of shorts or bibs should do that. It means the shorts don't fit you. Not even the really cheap no-name shorts I used to wear did that to me. You really need a size smaller it sounds like.

Probably two sizes smaller now...

I now love my recumbent bike even more than before I read this.

Because he doesn't want to chase your balls all over his office?

Welcome back, b

Wow! Five pages and no teabagging or neuticles jokes.

No Rx for antibiotics?
I seem to recall the limit for stitches is something like 6 hours?
so what it was like 9 or 12 hours later that you went to see your doctor?

heal quickly.

In my experience and people I know, they don't give antibiotics out much anymore for injuries or surgery. I imagine it has to do with how antibiotics are becoming less effective from over use.

And I do know that if an injury gets too old to close up, they can just trim it to make it fresh. Especially in an area like that.

Yes; a full round of oral antibiotics. The doc wasn't overjoyed that I waited 18 hours to seek help. He didn't say anything about being past the limit for stitches. But I did notice that the first thing he did after numbing/prepping involved a small scissor-like instrument. Maybe he trimmed off some old tissue. :eek:

This was my GP, not a urologist. He didn't have a problem fixing me up as this was really just a torn skin issue. I'm pretty sure that, had this been any type of blunt force injury that involved the jewels, he would have sent me to a urologist.

The local wore off hours ago. It's really more of an itchy/stinging feeling than anything else. Walking ain't fun, though.

Let's show a little respect here: a man has just nearly lost a ball.

I've caught the nose of my saddle on my chamois before but never to this extent! Yowzer.

Besides being a member of the V-club, I also have a related injury story. In high school, I was playing one-on-one BB with my friend one day at my house. He was backing into me to get closer to the basket. He faked going up and I bit. As I started coming down, sliding against his back, he went up. He had two pencils in his back pocket...pointing up. I had to dig two pencil tips out my sac and then go tell my mom. She handed me a bottle of alcohol and some cotten swabs, told me to go clean it really well and to let her know if I needed to see the doc.

And in yet another related story...for many years at my daughter's school's annual Silent Auction fundraiser, one parent, a Urologist, each year donated a vasectomy. It was funny to watch the men cruise by the table to make sure their wives weren't bidding on it. Funnier still...the guy's name was Dr. Richard Chopp...but his friends called him Dick!

Bustascrote is a big boy...he can take it.

Yeah, we are just busting his balls, not like he isn't used to it.......

OH you guys are messed up.

ohhh.

This might be in order:
