3 days of cycling (none today yet).
It would be fair to say that I have very little self control. After having cycled for three days between 60 and 70 minutes cumulatively each day, and having progressively increased the pressure inside the cylinders to the point of almost pain - definitely strong discomfort, I am finally having a feeling of being sore.
I woke up this morning to mild pain in my glans and mid shaft. Maybe soreness is more appropriate a description. So, I am waiting till I get to bed tonight before I cycle again. I think I will pull a 60 minute session and stop increasing the inflation at the early part of discomfort.
Question to the community: Have any of you felt this sore feeling when you first embarked on the cycling journey?
Two more items:
1- to used to bicycle (weird verb, yet appropriate on this board) till I had a major accident in early August. I was left with 5 broken ribs, a broken scapula, a broken clavicle that required surgery, and a punctured lung. I had the IPP surgery less than two months after the clavicle surgery. And then, I have to interrupt my recovery by leaving on business trip that started in early November and lasted till Dec 9. So, yesterday, was the first day I could get on a bicycle. I used my electric trainer at home due to the cold in NYC and the first thing I noticed is that my "deflated" penis was still pretty erect when stuffed into bicycling shorts and my glans chafed quite a bit; I kept on having to reposition my penis right and left (like windscreen wipers). So this may have contributed to my sore penis today.
2- My scrotum is still the size of a honeydew. I saw my surgeon on Thursday and we agreed that I should go back on Jan 8 for an ultrasound and a possible deflation by needle! Syringe, not pop the balloon.
