I cant ride for two weeks because my right ball is the size of an orange....

i thought it was cancer or something. Its just something called Epididytis or something hmm.. Not sure what caused it.

SO ill be lurking here for two weeks with ice on my balls. I miss you streets.

good lord!

great pope!

Holy orange sized nuts, Batman!!!

That's pretty much the worst reason to do or not to do....anything.

Ouch..I guess I'm lucky that I just need glasses and my palms are so hairy...

The way I understand it, Epididymitis is the inflammation of the Epididymis. I had a case of it last year, sucks. My balls didn't swell up, but there was a lot of pain, and an infection. It was caused, primarily, by trauma to the epididymis. The big problem was the saddle I was using at the time, it was too soft, too much padding. When I got aero on the bike, the padding pushed up into the epididymis and cut off the circulation. That's a bad thing. It's cleared up now for the most part, but it's one of those things that I will feel occasionally for a long time. I tell everyone now to think twice before they buy a nice cushy saddle. Epididymitis is pretty much the blanket term that most general physicians seem to use for all kinds of complications that arise from bicycle/saddle problems. It sounds like the infection has spread to your testicle. That's gotta hurt. Are you getting an ultra sound? Might want to bring it up. I wouldn't get back on the bike until the infection has passed through. Hate to say it, but it might take more than a couple of weeks. Antibiotics should help.

this thread is useless without PICTURES!

No. No. NoooOOooOoOoooOOooooo!

Please Teabag. NoOOOOooOooooOooo

agreed

Jesus man.

I tell you my **** went numb for about an hour after my first ride on my swift. I was terrified. Hope everything works out.

at least it wasn't testicular torsion. that **** is the worst.

i've had two hernias, a cyst on my tecticle, and very close call with the torsion.. thumbs down.

yet another reason i'm glad i don't have that crap flapping around between my legs.

This is the most painful thread I've read on this forum... on a side note a girl asked me once why bikers wear bike shorts saying she didn't understand the need (she rode herself, though recreationally), and I had to explain about chaffing and keeping the junk out of harms way.

Probably not much ****ing then, either.

Feel better....

I got an ultrasound haha. that was fun. got to see inside of my testi's.

got anti biotics and painkillers.

this actually sux ****ing hard. It hurts bad to do anything but lay naked.

pics soon lol.

sound like you've got a fairly good plan sorted there then...

fsnl
sparky

Maybe it's just blueballs.

You think that's bad?
This morning the orange I was eating was the size of a nutsack.

am i the only guy who gets quesy when you hear about problems with balls (or ball) but don't give a f&&& about blood?

*throws up*

Man. I think I'd rather chop the tip of my finger in a cog accident than have an nutsack infection.

This made me laugh out loud from the time I read it till right................now

so weak dude. Happened to my cousin. I'll be right here with you for at least a few days cause i mighta broke my hand and had a little blood in the wee wee from an awesome full speed flying horseshoe stack into a bus signpost. Thank you crankbrothers for making such awesome pedals... bastards.

Hey it could be worse. It could be anal warts.

While having a nut become orange sized sounds pretty nasty and hits a little closer to home, I think this one made me wince a whole lot more.

ps. get well soon!
