As for a medical update, x rays and ultrasound have ruled out a hernia. I still have a sting from the soft tissue up to the front of my hip, even when I'm off the bike. There aren't many tests left to do but probably an MRI and/or physical therapy in my future.
This could be a compounding of various issues. The one day I did try to ride with my saddle rotated slightly to the left it put a lot of pressure on the left side of my perineum. Perhaps that's what got me to this point.
Did you try a similar rotation to the right?
One idea is that perhaps you have an imbalanced muscular development between the left and right sides. Exercise of some sort would seem to be a logical measure to take, but I would not have any idea what to suggest, other than simple weight-bearing yoga poses, which give a little isometric stressing of muscles and a gentle stretch. But I don't know enough to suggest anything specific, other than to stress your two sides gently but evenly.
Yoga is best with a good teacher, not a few notes on the Internet and a You-tube or two.
