Motorbike Riding

Post by rational »

The only thing I can isolate as an unusual event before I got cpp symptoms is that I started motorcycling the week-end before getting testicular pain. Then it got worst and like everyone here I went through many GP/uros/Antibios.

I've tried not to use the bike for a few days but that wasn't showing immediate results so I gave up, I need to go to work and traffic is terrible without it :shock:

Does anyone think that it could be the cause of my symptoms ? (Stress while driving or Vibrations irritating pelvic muscles) Does anyone has experienced the same problems ?

I have driven on a motorcycle before and can say for sure I was unconsciously tensing my back and pelvis the whole time, both as a reaction to the feedback of the road and just the general stress of leaning over like that in a hunched position. Short of getting another mode of transportation I would try getting a back brace (which helped a friend of mine in his back pain on a motorcycle) and trying to evaluate your pelvic floor continually while riding to retrain it to relax during the ride.
