Is this the End of Pcad?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You really are clueless. Leave the healthcare to the urologists. Of course they are also clueless.

Here's a little hint: if you ever find out you have prostate cancer, there will be NO symptoms. Trust me on this. Your PSA will come in high on an annual health exam, if you are even getting that blood test like you should be every year.

I know something about this bull****. Trust me on this. I've been going to clueless urologists for 25 years. They are all clueless. But I do know my symptoms are consistent with benign conditions.

Better get used to that for when you finally get back on the bike.

Agree, I am pretty clueless about your condition not having endured it. I do know that laypeople as well as professionals can be wrong as well about diagnosis. A MRI is about 400 bux. When there is competing or varyied speculation from so called professionals about a given condition, I believe a MRI is cheap insurance against the worse case scenario. So no, I don't trust you, speculation of professionals or myself when it comes to pain in this area that is more or less chronic. Your body though and good luck.

If you haven't already done it read up on dogs overheating on the interwebz. On a very hot day, feel the pavement to see how hot it feels to the feet/paws. If Sam needs a push to keep going he may be too hot. Especially if he never does that in other weather. Listen to what he's trying to say.
I was surprised about how easy a dog can overheat. I've seen a few dogs already past heat exhaustion, and into heat stroke. One key symptom is vomiting when drinking a little. Also super fast shallow panting.

Tell Sam I said .

The flip side, apparently this condition is similar to what can happen to women after childbirth.

Actually, size maybe relevant. Maybe just too big = fail.
Let's say Pcad's issue is soft tissue...overuse. Load path maybe bad.
Too much weight + poor saddle fit... seat height a bit high, setback maybe contributors.
Cycling by its nature of repetition leads to injury if everything isn't right.
PS: Shimano is speculated to be working on a pain damping device that interfaces with its Di2...targeted for older riders like Pcad who can afford electronic shifting. Small needle like probes are placed into pain centers of the body and a rider can shift up or down depending on pain level during a ride.

To me a excuse for another bike is great. A recumbent might be fun and different.

Not all urologists are clueless, as in any field however some certainly are. So I take it the answer to the Sports Med Orthopod/MRI is no? Certainly that, the sports doc, should go before the MRI. And BTW very few people are actually diagnosed with prostate cancer because their psa goes up, most I see it's the first time it's measured. Of course the Feds are now saying don't do psa for screening(speaking of bull****). Anyone good luck with the rehab.

Strong smell of elitism in this thread. I for one would welcome the chance to ride a tricycle.
