Maybe another stupid question.
Dunno If anyone has suffered this but im thinking about going to the doctors about it. Just wanted to run it past a few bikers first to see what you think.
When riding home from college Ive been getting alot of pain in my *****. It usually gets really bad about 25 mile into my trip home. I sit back and it helps but its not my usual riding position so after 5 minutes I tend to slip back to spooning the tank.
On two occasions while riding home Ive got this horrible sick feeling which was so bad I stood up while the bike was doing 40mph and frantically pressed at my stomach until the pain suddenly went.
I had a look when I got home to see if anything was up but there was no sign of anything out of place.
Well it happened again and this time it wasnt so bad, I immediately pulled off onto a quiet road and got off the bike. I pulled up my jacket, jumper and t-shirt to look but couldnt see a thing. So I unzipped and what I saw next might make you feel a bit sick.
My left nut had left the ball sac and had moved up to the point where it was higher than my slong.
Anyone else ever experienced this?
Im going to see if I can cut out some foam from the seat to make room. Im in no way blessed. Im also going to try different types of underware to see if that helps.

Well I Googled it. You might want to change your "thinking about going" to "am going" to the doctors. Especially if it is this...

Right well the prognosis is that its nothing to worry about.
Doc said that theres a muscle on each nut that pulls the nut up and out of harms way. That combined with them being pressed against the seat/tank only leaves the nut/nuts one place if pressured and thats up into the body.
The tube cant snap or get lost in the body as the muscle that pulls it up also prevents it going awol.
Also, im not at any higher risk of a twisted ******** than your average joe.
